If you think this will replace your oven or your microwave, you're wrong. It will replace your toaster oven. It does one heck of a job of that, though. I've found that cooking frozen meat items in this thing sometimes leads to burning the tops. I'm trying to learn the settings better and hopefully will adjust for this in the future. Otherwise I've read covering with aluminum foil will prevent the IR waves from burning the top. It's a new way of cooking, so you have to learn how to work with it. Anything I've cooked that was defrosted cooked up nicely. Thorough heating, crispy or browned outside. The advertising will tell you its the next great thing and you don't need an oven anymore. Well, not so much. I still use my regular oven to bake things. I use a Microwave/Convection Oven combo to cook frozen foods, etc... (convection is perfect for those) We bought this...Read more 12 of 13 people found the following review helpful: By This review is from: Black & Decker FC150 InfraWave Speed-Cooking Countertop Oven, Stainless (Kitchen) The stainless infrawave oven I recently purchased looks exactly like this one but the model number is FC150R.
Model FC150R works great. I use it for everything from toast to re-heating to baking and broiling. If you are only a family of two, you won't need to use a large oven again. I only use my large oven for keeping foods warm. Model FC150R is fast, efficient, and fun to use. 7 of 7 people found the following review helpful: By Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: Black & Decker FC150 InfraWave Speed-Cooking Countertop Oven, Stainless (Kitchen) Nice little piece of equipment, though it takes a while to get used to. We've cooked everything from waffles to chicken nuggets to pizza and I have to say it does a fine job. Cooks about twice as fast as a conventional toaster oven but it takes a little getting used to. There are no temperature settings just an interface to choose the type of food you are cooking. We have burnt a few things along the way but now have it pretty much figured out. The only complaint I might have is that it cooks much faster on the top than on the bottom so the food needs to flipped halfway thru. |
