Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
Unlike conventional or convection ovens, this state-of-the-art countertop oven uses infrared-light technology to evenly cook the inside and outside of foods simultaneously. Superior browning and crisping capabilities seal in flavor, whether cooking meat, poultry, or fish, and toast comes out perfect every time. The appliance cooks up to 50-percent faster than a conventional oven, with no pre-heating or thawing necessary, making it possible to pull dinner out of the freezer and have it fully cooked and ready to serve in no time. In fact, many dishes can be cooked in 20 minutes or less. There's also no need to worry about what temperature to cook at since the intelligent profiling system cycles the cooking lights according to the type of food being cooked. The oven provides a control panel with an LCD screen and 52 digital pre-settings for one-touch ease of use. For example, select from functions including pizza, quick foods, cookies, toast, reheat, bake/roast, or broil, and the digital display allows for scrolling through a variety of detailed choices. Best of all, the unit�s convert menu lets you enter the temperature and time for a favorite recipe, then automatically converts it to InfraWave time. Accessories include a broil rack, bake pan, removable crumb tray, and an instruction manual. The 1500-watt countertop oven measures approximately 14 by 13-3/4 by 10 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.

Pretty Darn Good,
By madkinglear (Scranton, PA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Black & Decker FC150BR InfraWave Speed-Cooking Countertop Oven, Black (Kitchen)
As I read some of the other reviews of the Infrawave I am pretty shocked. Some people do nothing but dump on this little marvel, but I love the darn thing! I got the Infrawave about nine months or so ago, and I have never once regretted it. This thing works as well (or better) than my conventional oven for practically anything in a single serving size, which is nice for a single guy who likes to cook.
I'll admit I was a little nervous about trusting it do everything it has preset, like broiling burgers or chicken, but it really does deliver. I must use this thing at least three or four times a week as a replacement for the microwave or the oven. Probably more. Without preheating I can have good burgers in about ten minutes of turning it on, and that is fine by me. My personal favorite is having grilled hot dogs in eight minutes without actually firing up my gas grill. It isn't replacing my outdoor grill, but it's strong enough to completely cook through a stuffed pork chop without turning it into charcoal first. Another perk: it does not heat up the room at all, unlike my conventional oven. All of that being said, it is not idiot-proof or perfect, but what is? When you are cooking with it you have to use your common sense--Am I using this thing as an oven or a toaster? If you cover your food in aluminum foil you are TOTALLY CHANGING THE EQUATION! Once you cover the food in something reflective you are more or less turning your back on most effective heating source the oven has, and the cooking time will increase. It still will work, but you can't trust the recommended times the oven wants you to use, you have to start thinking more like conventional oven cooking times. In one other review someone mentioned that the outside of it gets very hot. It does! That is my only real gripe with this item. I would be really aware of this if I had a little one running around while I was using it. That being said, I have it sitting on a baking stand about 3 inches from the wall and I have felt the wall while it was cooking and was very comfortable that there was no danger of anything spontaneously combusting. As a matter fact I have cotton apron that is touching it most of the time while it is cooking and it's perfectly fine. As a final gripe, they could have given a ceramic or glass dish that was fitted to the inside of it, but with some shopping I found one of my own. (Works much better for baking than the metal tray given.) So there it is; the Infrawave is a fine cooking tool. It is by no means perfect, but it is a great little oven/broiler/toaster.

Fire Hazard!,
By
This review is from: Black & Decker FC150BR InfraWave Speed-Cooking Countertop Oven, Black (Kitchen)
A month ago, I posted a 4-star review of this product. I thought it worked pretty well. It was fast and easy to use and required no pre-heating.
Tonight, I woke up to an apartment full of smoke. The unit turned itself on and it was baking itself. The way the unit turns on, I know that it couldn't have been activated by user error -- no careless brush against the control panel would turn it on, as you actually need to press several buttons in order to turn it on. In fact, I hadn't used the oven in about a week -- Yet, there it was, tonight, glowing in the dark kitchen. I pulled the plug. There's a bit of a scorch mark on the wall behind it, but aside from the acrid smoke, I caught it before it did any more damage. I just now did a search on the web, and I've seen several accounts similar to mine. I would feel awful if someone bought the oven on my advice and suffered a fate worse than mine. Please don't buy this oven, or, if you do, keep it unplugged when not in use.

Great little addition to the kitchen,
This review is from: Black & Decker FC150BR InfraWave Speed-Cooking Countertop Oven, Black (Kitchen)
I've had my infrawave for a few months now...having read reviews from all over and getting the good, the bad and the ugly I chose to purchase it anyway. I'm not sorry I have.
I never saw the infomercial, but please remember when you use this oven that the preset times are guideline and nothing more, if you start there you won't burn anything but you may need to add more time. There is definitely a learning curve involved here. Is this oven as quick as a microwave...not in your life...is it quicker and more effective than a large oven for smaller jobs...you betcha! I love reheating foods in this oven, more time than the microwave but much better results and about half the time of the oven. No rubbery cassaroles, soggy pizza and the like. Very nice results in a fraction of the time. What don't I like about it? The outside of the unit gets dangerously hot, not a problem for most adults but I worry about my dog's curiosity and worry he may burn himself...he hasn't but I don't leave the oven unsupervised when he's in the house. Parents of small children beware... My other issue is cooking pies or cassaroles with a crust top...you must cover the top with foil for the majority of the cooking or it will burn, and burn quickly it will...funny enough the same cassarole that I needed to cover to do the original cooking, did not need to be covered when I reheated it for 20 minutes...hmmm...like I said, there's a learning curve. I've read the review of the one guy (who posted twice)complaining about it being a fire hazard...no problem, I just unplug it when not in use...no rocket science there. All in all I am very pleased with the oven and would recommend it to others.
