January
What better way to show a cooking tip for comfort foods than the month of January. When cooking foods like soups, stews, gumbo, and chowders, as you let the broth simmer, place your meats, vegetables and or fish in the Nu-Wave Oven according to cooking chart. Not only will your food will be more moist instead of dried out, this will save you more time and less dishes than if you were to cook everything on the stove top.
February
Make the perfect Valentine's Dinner in the Nu-Wave Oven. Lobster Tails and Steak can be placed directly on the 4 inch rack. Consult your Quick & Easy Cooking Guide for detailed power level and cook time instructions. Need to melt butter? No problem! Put butter in an oven safe dish and place on the 1 inch rack. Cook on power level 8 for about 2 minutes until the butter has fully melted. Caution, bowl will be hot.

Did you know the Nu-Wave Oven also can replace your toaster? Place Bagels, English muffins or bread on the 4" rack and cook on high for about 4 minutes. To cook a great Grilled Cheese sandwich, place your grilled cheese sandwich on the 4" rack (try it without butter on the outside of the sandwich, tastes just as good) and cook on high 3-4 minutes per side.

With Easter right around the corner here is the best way to cook your ham and eggs! To cook a ham: The cooking time is only 15 minutes per pound! You can cook up to a 8 lb ham without the bone and when you use the extender ring you can cook up to a 14lb ham with the bone. Place the ham on the 1" rack. For best results, flip the ham 1/2 way thru and place your glaze over the ham for the last 5 minutes of cooking. You can still baste your ham with the juices right in the liner pan. If browning occurs before the cooking is complete, place foil over the ham. Hard boiled eggs: No need to boil! Place your eggs on the 1" rack, cook on power level 9 for 10 minutes. When cooking is complete, remove eggs promptly and let sit until completely cooled.
May
With Graduations, Mother's Day and summer vacations approaching, it seems like there is even less time for the most important meal of the day; breakfast. With the Nu-Wave Oven you can now enjoy a flavorful breakfast without having to go thru a drive-thru. When I am on the go, I like to take a flour tortilla, sprinkle some cheese, ham, a couple of peppers (anything that you feel like placing on this breakfast is great in the Nu-Wave) right on top of the tortilla. Place it on the 4" rack, and in 2 minutes you have a great tasting breakfast. Not only does the Nu-Wave save you time, it doesn't dry out your food like a microwave oven.
June
Grilling season is here and what better way to grill than with the Nu-Wave Oven! Not only does Italian Sausage, Brats and Burgers turn out perfect every time, (even from frozen), you can also roast your favorite vegetables right on the 4" rack without over charring a perfect vegetarian meal. If one person enjoys meat and the other enjoys vegetarian, no problem, go Nu-Wave! Place your favorite meats on the 4" rack right along side of the vegetables and the foods do not mix!
To make your cleanup even easier, place a piece of Foil on top of the Liner Pan. Next place the grill (1" or 4" inch) on top of foil and tuck in edges. When cooled you can just wrap up the foil and toss the remains. July
What better time of the year than to make Corn on the Cobb in your Nu-Wave Oven! No need to boil the corn, burn on the grill and end up with poor results! Just place your ears of corn on the 1" or 4" rack, cook on HI for 4-5 minutes on each side. You will have the best tasting corn on the cob ever!

Squash is not just for decoration. Here is a festive recipe for anyone that wants to try Acorn Squash. The Nu-Wave oven not only cooks Squash up to 50% faster than a regular oven, you will also find out they come out fabulous! Acorn Squash: Cut in half and scoop out the seeds and membrane. Cut a little off the end so the halves sit upright. Place 2 tablespoons each of brown sugar, butter and a sprinkle of nutmeg and cinnamon in each half of the squash. Place on the 1" rack or the liner pan. Nu-Wave on HI for about 40 minutes or until soft or fork tender.
Pumpkin seeds turn out great in the Nu-Wave Oven. After you boil the seeds in salt water and let dry, place seeds mixed with oil and salt (or any other seasonings you prefer) directly on the liner pan and cook at power level 8 for 5-8 minutes, 5-9 times and stir in between. If you are using sauces such as Worcestershire sauce, you might want to rinse off the pan after the fourth or fifth cooking time.
November
One of the great things about the Nu-Wave Oven is how delicious and perfectly brown turkeys turn out. A lot of people have asked; how do you get the giblets out of a frozen turkey? Start cooking the turkey breast side down for the first half of the cooking process. When you flip the turkey breast side up, the insides should be thawed enough to remove the giblets.
December
For me, when I think of December, one of the first things that comes to mind is baking cookies. Did you know you can make cookies right in your Nu-Wave Oven? It is very easy to do; just place your cookies right on the liner pan, bake according to directions, when the timer goes off, simply use your 4 inch cooking rack on the side as a cooling rack. Your cookies will come perfect every time. Now you do not have to worry about forgetting to turn off the oven when you are on the last batch of cookies or wasting any extra energy every time you need to open the oven door to check on your cookies.
