Nuwave Oven -- A Chef's Review

The Nuwave Oven is a pretty popular As Seen On Television product that found its way onto the market a year or so ago. Many of the As Seen on TV products do not ever amount to much, and are soon forgotten. Of course, some of them find their way into the lives of millions of Americans, and become a part of the everyday experience. One example of such an item would be the George Foreman Grill. This unique cooking grill changed the way a number of people in America prepare lives, and truth be told, the device is pretty useful. It can be said that the Nuwave Oven is somewhere in the middle. It it a Kitchen product that has found its way into the households of many, but it has yet to become the household name that something like the Ginsu Knife or George Foreman Grill has become.

As for the reasons the Nuwave Oven is not quite as big as the George Foreman Grill, it may be the lack of a celebrity. Who really knows. Because, as a chef myself, I can tell you that the product does do something very unique... it prepares food in a new and unique way. I am a cook and because of this everyone expects me to lead a culinary life. I do enjoy the kitchen, and I must admit, I love my work, but the truth is that when I'm home and cooking for myself, I don't always want to put the hours and hours into prep. In fact, most nights that I'm free I want a relatively quick and easy (yet still tasty) meal that will be very nutritious. (I am also a pretty avid cyclist, so I am always trying to focus on nutrition when I create meals for myself. I eat a diet heavy in protein, and besides legumes and etc, I usually have a lean meat on the dinner table. Sorry to all vegetarians. I don't mean to upset any of you.)

The Nuwave Oven is a kitchen aide designed to do just what I need... to expedite the cooking time, and to cook meats that have yet to defrost! How Does the Nuwave Oven Work? The patented infrared cooking feature allows meats to be cooked evenly and from the inside out. Foods are cooked throughout, but they do not come out crispy the way a baked or grilled meat will. This needs to be understood by all people considering this device. Cooking your foods with the Nuwave Oven is not going to simple expedite the normal grilling or baking. It will create moist and delicious meals, and it will do this fast, but these meals need to be made with the right expectations. Certain recipes are perfect for the Nu wave Oven, others are not so well suited.

Anyway, I just wanted to clear that up a bit. I've recommended it to a few people, and I wanted to make sure that all parties are aware of the recommendation. There are also concerns regarding how well the product will hold up. I can not speak to this, so I simply will pass.
