nuwave oven

Linda, welcome!
let's see......potatoes...depends on how you want to prepare them. Baked potatoes take about 45- 1 hour depending on size. I start them first and add meat part way through.

As far as pork chops or other meat, I use a lot of my own recipes. There is a temp/power level conversion chart in your recipe book. I use this as a guide. While learning to use it, try some of the recommended recipes first and practice with them to get the hang of using your oven. Just be sure to check on your food frequently at first while cooking. It will help you learn to tweak your times and temps to be able cook the way you like your food. One tip, if something seems to be browning too fast, just cover with foil to prevent this and remove toward the last few min to finish. Good luck! I'm sure you will learn to use and love your oven. We do!

64 year old male. So take me for what its worth. LOL:-) I agree with April. I to have to watch the oven while cooking. It dose not live up to what it is said to do. All so if you notice, the two people in the info. commercial never tell you that you have to turn the product over after half way of cooking. being that the heat swirls around and under the product your cooking you there fore don't even think about that when you watch the info. commercial. I have even come to measure my frozen burgers to make sure I'm not doing the wrong time. Funny but true. I still use it, if for not having to use the oven offten, and most of the time it seems to me like there is not much of a time saver using it. I'm sure nothing is wrong with my nuwave. I'm really not that surprised by what I said here. All products in an Info. commercial are sweetend up a little shall we say. Oh, more. Yeah, forget perfect Potatoes. I even put Omaha steak frozen stuffed potatoes in the nuwave several times and trying to tweak the time. Most of the time they come out not baked on the very bottom and the top ingredients are all ways to crunchy.

So far I've never bothered trying any recipe, I just use the cook times and stand levels mentioned on the meat cooking chart and have yet to experience a failure!!! I'm amazed that I could take a frozen turkey breast from the freezer to cooked perfection!! THE most moist and flavorful turkey breast I've ever done in my many, many years of cooking! Most mornings I never know what I will want for dinner, so having the NuWave allows me to fix anything I want quickly and easily once I get home at night.

My Nu-Wave cooks meats deliciously moist and tender. I appreciate the convenience of cooking frozen meats and the easy equipment clean-up afterward. I rarely use my stovetop or oven to prepare meats, especially during these hot summer days. Generally, I find the Nu-Wave recipe book meat prep times adequate, though as with standard stovetop or oven cooking, needing adjustment based on the thickness and quantity of the cut. My sister introduced me to Nu-Wave cooking. She and her husband both like the Nu-Wave so much that they replaced their older model with a new, full-featured one.

I think they might have gotten defective ovens (or control heads). The vast majority of us don't have the same problem. Sounds as if the control head is not heating up to what most of ours do. Sorry to hear you got a bum control head for your unit.
