   What is Conduction, Convection, and Infrared Heat?


Conduction is heat transfer by direct contact, as in a regular oven.
Convection is the air that circulates the heat for fast and even cooking.
Infrared is safe radiant heat that heats objects directly without having to heat the air in between. The infrared spectrum is divided into three segments by wavelength. The 'near' and 'middle' infrared rays are hot enough to be used for cooking foods whereas 'far' infrared is similar to what the human body radiates. As approximately 80% of the sun's rays consist of infrared rays and warms the earth from millions of miles away, the same principle applies to our Nu-Wave Oven, only on a smaller scale. Restaurants have been using this heat for years to keep foods warm.

 

   What do the recipes and charts mean by the 1" or 4" rack?


The cooking rack can be reversed to be used at a height of either 1" or 4".

 
 

   What types of pans can be used in the Nu-Wave?


Any cooking utensils that can go into a conventional oven can go into the Nu-Wave.
Safe for use with foil, metals, Pyrex, and even prepared frozen entree trays.

 

   What is the Rated Wattage on the Nu-Wave Oven?


It's rated at 1500Watts compared to conventional ovens at 3400Watts.

 

   Does it create smoke?


It does not create smoke and no ventilation system is needed.

 
 

   How difficult is the oven to clean?


All parts easily separate for ease of cleaning and, except for the power head, can even be put in the dishwasher. What little splattering it does, stays confined within the dome.

 
   

   How hot will the temperature reach in the Nu-Wave Oven?


The Nu-Wave will reach the approximate temperature of 350°. However, because of the triple
cooking power of conduction, convection, and infrared, it will still cook faster than a conventional oven. (See Cooking Chart and Oven Comparison Chart)

 
   

   What is the difference between the Nu-Wave Oven #20201 and the Nu-Wave Oven Pro #20301?


Both models are 1500Watts and use the same triple cooking power of infrared, convection, and conduction.
#20201 has Dial Controls on the Power Head which are very easy to use for controlling time and temperature. It can be programmed for up to 60 minutes at a time.
#20301 has a Digital Control Panel and can be programmed for up to 2 hours at HI power or up to 9 hrs/99 min. at lower power levels.

 
   

   How much time and energy will be saved with the Nu-Wave Oven?


Saves up to 85% of the energy compared to a 3400W conventional oven. (To see more detailed graphs and figures, click here)
Saves up to 50% of the time compared to a conventional oven. (To see more detailed graphs and figures, click here)

 
   

   I am a vegetarian, is it worth it to cook things other than meat?


From Artichokes to Zucchini, vegetarian dishes are endless. Corn and green beans come out crisp and delicious. Potatoes, sweet potatoes, and yams come out perfect and fluffy. Peppers, onions, eggplant mushrooms and squash taste like they just came off the grill. Try asparagus brushed with olive oil from our infomercial, they turn out perfect in less than 8 minutes. Make your favorite recipe with roasted garlic, broccoli or tomatoes. Don't forget about soy burgers, they come out great in the Nu-Wave Oven.
