NuWave Oven Pro: A Return to Dinnertime

When our family economics dictated that I go back to work, many things changed in our household. The one that bothered me the most was my inability to continue to cook a supper that our family could sit down to and really enjoy. Dinnertime was always special to us. Maybe we’re just old fashioned, but it was a time that we all came together and rehashed the events of the day...good or bad. My new job quickly took the home cooking aspect away from our evening meals, and eventually we all began eat microwaved dinners or fast foods in front of the TV.

When I voiced my loss of family time concerns to my mother, she reminded me of the NuWave Oven Pro she bought years ago after seeing the commercial on an AS SEEN ON TV spot. I located the product on the internet, bought it and want to share a little of my cooking experience.

THE OVEN PRO
In case you’ve not heard of it, the NuWave Oven Pro is a counter top cooking unit that utilizes infrared, conduction and convection to defrost and cook. Because it uses all three cooking methods, foods are cooked in a much shorter time. Meats are more moist and juicy than if cooked in a regular oven, and not only is the meat more tender, but the outside can be made crispy brown as well. Side benefits are lowered energy costs because of less cooking time, less fats and oils because of the built in drip pan and very easy clean up.

FAVORITE DISHES
The Oven Pro comes with some great recipes that are just right for a family on the go. I’ve used it to cook chicken, BBQ ribs, fish and even a turkey this past Thanksgiving. I bought all the attachments including the extender ring that gives it more cooking height, so the 10 lb. turkey fit just fine. I followed the directions, and in 2.5 hours I had a beautiful golden brown turkey that was cooked to perfection. Another favorite is corn on the cob. It’s so much better than the traditionally boiled corn..and quicker too!

TOGETHER AGAIN
So now most days I’m able to gather the family together again at suppertime for a real home cooked meal. The NuWave Oven Pro has been a joy to use; great tasting, healthy meals prepared in very little time. Including shipping, I guess I spent around $185. for everything. It comes with a pizza rack, recipe book, directions, instruction disk, two blenders and I bought the extender ring extra. This little oven has been well worth the dollars in time saved in the kitchen, and its allowed us to regain our togetherness at the supper table for a healthy meal. You really can’t put a price on that!
