The chicken is probably the best with juicy tender chicken breasts that you buy frozen in a package and just plop in the NuWave and cook in under fifteen minutes. The turkey worked very well and was great but I still prefer the usual roaster method.
But to be able to go from frozen rock hard bird in the plastic wrap to juicy browned and tender in two hours or so is great. I did as suggested and cooked the turkey breast side down for about an hour and was able to coax the giblets and neck out after that.
I then turned it upright and occasionally checked on it and basted it for a great and tender turkey that was better than several I have cooked in the oven and with less hassles. The NuWave Oven also cooks unusual foods like cinnamon buns, French toast, casseroles and others but the meat is where it excels.
I tried out some great steaks and chicken with sweet potatoes that turned out delicious and just tender but I do like steaks better on the grill or pan fried. The chicken and fish worked out very well and are very simple to cook in the NuWave with the chicken the best.
Fish you can cook in the pan or on the rack but if you take some fish that you buy frozen in the nonstick pan and add a few slabs of butter and some seasonings it is just like fish scampi. The NuWave Oven does great toasting things like bagels and fresh breads very quickly or cooking cheese bread for a quick snack or an addition to spaghetti or other meals.
The advantage of cooking bread for garlic bread or cheese bread in the NuWave is the bread is more evenly cooked and will not be overcooked on the top or bottom due to the oven elements cooking too much on one side. For cheesy bread just sprinkle cheese on top and place in the oven for a minute or two and it will heat the bread and melt the cheese for a great addition to any meal.
The NuWave oven is completely dishwasher safe for all the pieces but the Power Head and is also easy to clean in the sink. I do not have a dishwasher, other than me and my kids, and had no problems cleaning the racks and pans as well as the plastic dome in the sink.
A handy scrub brush like you use for dishes and glasses works well on the racks and these are as easy to clean as any rack or grill of this type would be. The non stick and aluminum pans are simple and wash off easily as they both are pretty much non stick like the racks and food does not bake on at all.
The plastic parts also wipe off easily with soapy water and it is nice to have a place for all the pieces like the carry case but I did not get one with mine. I will have to find a suitable storage bag for mine when not in use but it will be used often so I do have to keep it handy.
The unit will store easily by placing the aluminum pan in the bottom plastic piece and the racks and extender rack and pan inside. You can then place the dome on and the power head and if you have the extender ring kit that ring goes on the dome on the outside.
There is also a Dome Holder rack for the cover when you’re using the NuWave Oven to set the dome and power head on while turning food or right after cooking. The Dome Holder is a simple wire rack that you set the dome on and it sits nicely to the side of the oven with or without being under the bottom of one of the handles of the bottom.
You can set the dome on the rack with the holder under the edge of the bottom or just on its own wherever like on another counter. This small rack holds the dome and power head while it is still hot so you don’t burn yourself while turning your food and keeps it ready to put back on the oven quickly.
The NuWave Oven does a great job at cooking food from frozen or thawed to fully cooked quicker than an oven and much better than a microwave. Those infomercials showing the NuWave cooking a frozen turkey to a tender golden brown are not wrong but right on the money.
You can cook a full bird, I did a ten pounder easily in the NuWave oven, and have it come out nice and tender with plenty of juices. Chicken is my favorite, like those bags of frozen breasts that cook in about ten minutes from frozen blocks to tender juicy and delicious.
You can also cook side dishes like potatoes or casseroles but I have not even gotten to all those extras you can cook. You can also find recipes and other helpful suggestions on the internet with a few quick searches for some great foods.
The NuWave Pro Infrared Oven works very well, just as the infomercial claims, and cooks food easily and quickly to juicy tender for meats and fully done quicker than other cooking types. I highly recommend the NuWave Infrared Oven or the NuWave Pro Infrared Oven for a quick juicy and tender meal quickly.
