Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Equipped with a Nano-Carbon Fiber and FIR (Far Infrared) heating element, this round-shaped convection oven not only reaches 392 degrees F in just 10 minutes, it also reduces cooking time by up to 30 percent and runs 30-percent more efficiently than traditional methods. Thanks to its instant heating and deep heat penetration, there's no need to defrost foods ahead of time. Food cooks and browns quickly and evenly and meat stays juicy inside yet perfectly seared on the outside. The unit provides a 12-by-12-by-6-1/2-inch, heat-proof, tempered-glass bowl that holds up to 12 liters and allows for keeping an eye on the cooking process at a glance. Furthermore, the oven's user-friendly digital control panel makes it easy to program the preset timer from 1 to 12 hours, set the cook time from 5 to 60 minutes, and adjust the temperature from 158 to 482 degrees F (70 to 250 degrees C). Two built-in fans circulate heated air evenly over all surfaces and effectively maintain a consistent cooking temperature. Other highlights include an instant response to manual temperature changes, a safety handle switch, a 2000 RPM motor, and a 5-1/2-foot power cord. Accessories include a pair of tongs and two cooking racks, which lift food up and away from fat and oils, helping to promote healthier cooking. The 1200-watt UL-approved convection oven measures approximately 12 by 14 by 15 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.

In our current economy why heat up the big Oven and the kitchen

when this small but efficient oven can do everything the big stove

can , only faster. I have learned to buy the small pizza's to fit , cooked frozen pork roast to perfection , bake potatoes and even made golden brown pies. I love it !

I use my Big Convection Kitchen Stove to store pots and pans and

who needs to spend money on electric bills to turn the self clean on when

the base of my 1.2 Liter turbo oven can go directly into the dishwasher or just wipes clean with a damp rag.

I "AIR FRY" potato steak fries crisp with a little cooking spray

in this wonderful machine. The only drawback would be that the manufacture failed to include a cooking chart . I had one left over from my Jet-stream oven or Flavor-wave oven that was mostly made of plastic parts. Both ovens worked well but I was always sending for costly replacement pieces. This OVEN being made of glass as heavy as a large mixing bowl should last for years.

2.0 out of 5 stars Cooks well but inconvenient, check out other brands, January 14, 2010

I bought this one because of the high tech gadget; instant start up thinking it would be a time saver. This instant heat oven does not seem to cook faster than the other ovens in the same category. It does a good job of cooking, but it is less convenient than other similar brands. I use it because I am usually in a hurry but the design slows you down. The engineers have decided they are smarter than I am and therefore are entitled to make my cooking decisions for me. They have graciously and inflexibly set the timer to start at 40 minutes even though I usually cook fish at about 12 minutes or a chicken for an hour and 20 minutes (yes it takes that long for a small chicken). I have to stand there holding the timer button waiting for it to cycle through all the numbers until it gets to the duration *I* want. Other brands either have memory, start at zero, or have a dial. But wait, there's more! The temperature always comes up in centigrade. You have to push more buttons to see it in Fahrenheit and then hold the button down until it goes through all the numbers until it reaches the cooking temperature you want. Short story, you have to unnecessarily fiddle around with this machine before it will cook. I wouldn't be surprised if the next model requires a flight plan?

Other drawbacks: the labels on the top must be water based as they smear and come off, you have to be careful not to use too much water on any cleaning cloth or you will erase them. Also the lid holder is inconvenient. You have to stick the hot lid into a wire slot and be very careful not to hit the wire with the hot lid. Other brands just have a simple rack on which you can place the hot lid. When measured with a Tri-field meter this unit puts out a magnetic field which is considered to be in the biologically active range. It measured 25 milligauss close up, and was measured at the 1 milligauss level (considered the biologically active limit). about 5-6 feet away. So this like many other kitchen appliances is not one you want to stand close to while it is operating. I would not buy this one again and would look at the operation of other brands such as flavor wave or Aroma.

Great product.

i've been using it almost daily since i got it. it works great and is easy to clean. i live in a small condo and used to not be able to cook many things at home because of the smell or the extreme heat produce by my oven. thanks to this oven, i have been able to even cook sausages without leaving the house smelling like them.
