Nuwave 20322 Pro Digital-Controlled Infrared Tabletop Oven, Black

This is my second Nuwave. I use it constantly. It is especially good for preparing meals for one to two people. It does everything a conventional oven will do, only better, faster, and with substantially less electricity. Items I would once use a microwave to prepare because of the time savings, I now regularly prepare in the Nuwave Oven.

However, it is too air tight. NO moisture escapes. That has its advantages and disadvantages. Items are moist and delicious, but if you like the crispiness a standard oven creates, expect less crispiness with the Nuwave. That, though, is a minor, almost insignificant tradeoff, compared with the valuable features. (One comment to the manufacuturer: What numbskull decided to put the allegedly "peel-off" sticker on the see-through ring? It does not peel off easily at all. There are a dozen glues you could have used that would cause it to peel off entirely, instantly. Instead, you went with some cheap, nearly permanent sticker that takes forever to get off. I have ALWAYS said engineers and manufacturers should be "sentenced" to use the appliances they create and produce for at least ten years.)

We are redoing our kitchen floor and had to remove the oven to make room for a new built in type that is taking forever. So, I purchased this oven to allow me to prepare meals in the meantime. It really is wonderful. I was very skeptical. It cooks really fast on high so I tend to cook longer on a lower temperature you can always cook more than less. It's great for heating up stuff too stuff that is usually trashed e.g. leftover eggrolls or pizza. It does take up a fair amount of space on the kitchen counter but it's well worth it this unit is something I should have bought a long time ago. It makes a GREAT 2nd oven for holidays like keeping things hot or even cooking the turkey so to free up the regular oven. It's definitely well worth the money I look at it and wonder how I was able to cook without it so well before. It does clean up nice too just warm soapy water for the drip pan (don't scour) and wipe down the rest with a damp soapy cloth and it's good to go meal after meal. I wash the dome lid weekly just in case the smell of BBQ chicken and chocolate cake don't go well. If you have the extra money definitely buy it and if you need a good wedding shower gift this would be good for that too. It's also good for a college kid or a single person.

I thought about buying a NuWave or Flavorwave for THREE years before I did it...wasn't sure it was really going to do what they said. The day it came I couldn't resist I pulled a frozen solid tri-tip from our chest freezer and threw it in. It was DONE and fabulous in ONE HOUR! Last night I tried another tri-tip, but this time a fresh one. Again, done in record time and so juicy and wonderful my family raved. My husband HATES that I buy "gadgets", but THIS one he loves! We're ready to expand our repertoire now, and move on to mixed food preparation. I can't see how ANYONE would regret buying this little oven. A huge meal will easily fit inside it it doesn't heat up the house (but you can smell the wonderful food cooking) and it is FAST and the meats stay very juicy. I'm hooked!

I have had the NuWave Pro Digital Oven for three weeks now. I have cooked the items listed below using cooking times on the Quick and Easy Cooking Guide for temperature setting on High.

COOKING (no oil needed)

Cornish Hen (fresh & frozen)

Steak (frozen)

Lamb Chops (fresh)

Fish Opah, Haddock (fresh)

BBQ Chicken Thighs (fresh)

Chicken Wings (fresh)

Ribs (fresh)

Roast Potatoes

Roast Veggies Broccoli, Snap Peas, Carrots, Bell Peppers, Mushrooms, Zucchini, Brussel Sprouts, Asparagus

The meat and fish came out moist. The veggies cook better on the 2 inch rack than the 4 inch rack. While the NuWave cooks frozen food well, I still prefer to plan ahead and marinate my meat in advance, but having the ability to cook from frozen is a nice bonus.

CLEANING

Easy to clean if you soak the racks in water right away. Grease drips into the liner pan. Food does not splatter much so the transparent dome can be wiped clean. Power head does not seem to get dirty from the cooking.

NOISE LEVEL

The NuWave Oven is very very quiet when cooking.

SMELL

Food smell is self contained. Does not create much odor at all during cooking, although it does depend on what you cook. For example, you will smell roasting garlic.

CAUTION

Sometimes a lot of hot steam comes out when lifting the dome. Make sure you use oven gloves and keep your face and arms away when opening the dome.

OVERALL IMPRESSION

Very pleased that the NuWave Pro Digital Oven performs as advertised. Even my infomercial skeptic husband is impressed with the food quality. Love that I can cook a complete meal for two. No more pots and pans to clean. No more preheating and it uses less energy. For $125.95 delivered with extender ring it is a sound investment for my kitchen.

NEGATIVE

Hearthware company charges too much for shipping the add on accessories so I recommend purchasing the package that includes the extender ring kit which comes with the 2" rack. Also, I bought another NuWave Oven as a gift for my brother. The documentation was missing from the box. Called NuWave customer service who told me that I would need to order the missing documentation from the website and pay for them which I thought was ridiculous considering they were missing. I hope I never need to use the warranty on my NuWave Oven as I would not expect good customer service from this company.

I'm skeptical of all informercials because I've been burned by some bogus and crappy products in the past. I know they rig the audience with extras and paid positive responses.

So before deciding to buy this, I read as many reader reviews as possible. So after reading mostly all positive reviews, I got one 2 months later. The first night I used it, I put a completely rock hard frozen steak in there. As shown in the infomercial, I put some salt and pepper and some other seasonings on it. Put 8 min, beeped, turned over the meat, put another 8 min. Beeped. It was done. Externally, the meat looked great, very presentable and looked like something a restaurant would serve me. So for the all important test, the taste. Cut it in half, inside was about med done. Tasted it. It was DELICIOUS. I was completely surprised. So much I text my gf and said the "oven is awesome"!

So excited, I put another frozen item in it. This time salmon. Put in 6 min. Flipped it. Put in another 6 min cook time. Done. Tasted, it was good too. Imagine that, not having to defrost or pre-heat anymore. My cooking routine has been so much easier now.

Pros:

Cooks as well, maybe better than advertised.

Big dome allows full size turkey to be cooked.

Multiple height trays allow different food to be cooked at same time.

No preheat needed.

No defrost needed.

No added heat to the kitchen from using large stove.

Browns and sears, (require flipping of food to avoid over browning).

Easy clean up, wipe inside dome and put bottom tray in dwasher.

Cons:

Too bulky for 1-2 person family or small kitchen.

Personally, I dont like how it looks but it works well.

In summary, this thing does what it says on TV. It has saved me time, money, and gets me more excited about cooking, believe it or not. I'm a guy too. Would recommend it to my family and friends.
