3.0 out of 5 stars
The good the bad and the ugly!,
By JVUE05 (Sunny California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: NuWave 20326 Pro Digital-Controlled Infrared Tabletop Oven, Black (Kitchen)
I was first introduced to the NuWave oven by my sister's boyfriend's grandfather. His grandfather needed to get rid of a lot of personal items because he was moving into an old folks home because he could no longer take care of himself. So we put his NuWave oven to use by cooking a lot of different things in it. Being a person who doesn't trust much infomercials I was skeptical at how well the NuWave oven works at first. I even saw the local news reporting on how quickly the NuWave oven makes meals but was still skeptical till I used it myself. I found that it cooked most meals pretty well and you really didn't have to watch it. You just set the cooking time and leave and come back when it's finished. I was so impressed by this that I bought one myself and used it at my apartment going to college. This thing was a life saver because I wouldn't have time to get food ready because I worked, had to do school work, and had to get ready for school. Which gives me absolutely little time to prepare food. It works well if you don't have a lot of time on your hands.
I cooked chicken thighs/legs/quarters/drumsticks, pork steaks, beef steaks, pork loins, pork chops, pork ribs, linguica sausage, smoke sausage, bratwurst, pizza (frozen and home made), frozen burritos, sasauge links, muffins, spam, vienna sausages, tater tots, salmon, tilapia, and practically anything you could think of in it. Most of the time it came out pretty good. Just make sure you turn it over because sometimes the other side of the food is unevenly cooked. It's very good for reheating certain types of food though. Pros: Saved time Very convenient Little effort Didn't have to constantly monitor it Easy to clean Cons: Sometimes the food was cooked unevenly because there is only one heat source The dome eventually cracks and breaks (no one tells you this) NuWave doesn't offer any replacement parts It will not replace certain microwave items or the need to deep fry certain things Cooking fatty foods will make it explode oil all over your plastic dome The dome eventually gets stained and is difficult to remove They don't offer a glass dome *TIPS* Always make sure you flip your food so it cooks evenly Follow the suggested temperature power setting for the food you are cooking Make sure you line the pan with aluminum foil so you don't have to scrub the pan The plastic dome will slowly crack, I wish they would offer it with a heavy duty glass dome but it would cost them too much money to send you a NuWave with a glass dome. I guarantee the dome will crack first before the heating element will give out on your NuWave. But after 8 months of usage, the dome is cracked. I used this thing daily but it will not replace the need to fry chicken in a deep fryer or the convenience of microwaving food in a microwave safe container. I am now outsourcing to a glass blower who will manufacture me a replacement dome.

NUWave 20326, Pro Oven,

This review is from: NuWave 20326 Pro Digital-Controlled Infrared Tabletop Oven, Black (Kitchen)
This is one of the very few items that you see on a info-commecial that really works. The other afternoon, my son and family stopped in unexpectedly. So I invided them to stay for supper. Now what to serve them? I remembered I had a 4 pound pork roast, about 3" thick, in the freezer. I got it out, along with some potatoes a put the NuWave Pro to the test. I put the frozen pork roast on the 4"shelf. I cut the potatoes in half lengthwise and surrounded the roast with potato halves. The rest of the potatoes I put on the lowwer rack. Set the Power level on "Hi" and the timer at 2 hours and relaxed with the family. In 2 hours the roast and potatoes werer done. The roast was perfect, a roasted look on the outside and nice and juicey on the inside. I've also done steaks, up to 2" thick, and hamburgers that came out the same. The easy cook guide instructions are just about right on the money as far as cooking time goes.
The NuWave I bought, model 20326, comes with the entender ring and extra racks.It's well worth the extra money over the standard model. It gives you so many different option for use. I'm sure you'll enjoy your new NuWave as much as I do mine.

NuWave Oven Pro Digital model 20326,
This review is from: NuWave 20326 Pro Digital-Controlled Infrared Tabletop Oven, Black (Kitchen)
I purchased one of these ovens for myself and my sister after watching the infomercial numerous times. It is truly amazing to say the least. Since receiving mine for $139.99 using the super saver shipping method, I have used it almost daily and have cooked cornish hens, leg of lamb, pork loin roast, chicken leg quarters, whole duckling, toasted bagels and english muffins. Everything has cooked perfectly using the included cooking chart and have tried the cornish hens and chicken quarters frozen and fresh. It is best to thaw meats before cooking as it tastes better and saves time and energy as well. My favorite meal so far has been cornish hen cooked whole after rubbing all over with about a tablespoon of olive oil and sprinkling with McCormick rotisserie chicken seasoning. This only takes a total of 30 minutes as recommended by the included cooking chart and is the best overall $3.00 meal so far. This oven will definitely save you time and money and you'll be impressed with how juicy and grease free your food turns out. I like to watch the food as it cooks as it does so with a maximum of 1500 watts using the highest of ten power levels which is what is recommended by the cooking chart unless reheating previously cooked food. The clean up has been very easy as this model is the black and stainless upgraded model and includes the extender ring kit which would sell together for $184.92 plus very costly shipping and handling if ordered directly from Hearthware which makes the price around $200.00. Amazon.com has the lowest price including shipping that is available for this oven so you can't go wrong ordering one from them. I only wish that I had purchased one of these when they first hit the market. Thanks Amazon.com for carrying this amazing cooking appliance and offering it at the best price!!!
