I received this oven in December and since then I've cooked a 13-lb. stuffed turkey, salmon fillets, a 4-lb. chicken, a casserole of stuffing, a lemon pie, peanut butter cookies, fajita vegetables, sliced sweet potatoes, and a frozen pizza. It took some trial and error but I think this will work well for me. What I like most about it is its pristine appearance and how easily it cleans up after use and then stores away out of sight. I like the fact that the timer alerts me when it's through cooking and I can watch the progress myself through the clear plastic container. I like that it requires no preheating and doesn't heat up the kitchen. I like that I can pause and interrupt the cooking to adjust the dish or add sauce or seasoning and then reset it to a new cooking time or temperature.

I tried cooking with this oven three times - fresh pork spare ribs, a frozen bottom round roast (approx. 2 lbs.) and a frozen blueberry pie.

My husband cut it in half to check for doneness and, low and behold, it was FROZEN!!!! We ended up slicing the roast into "steaks" and cooking for another half hour. The crock pot or oven would have been easier. Now let's try dessert. A frozen blueberry pie. After reading numerous reviews about these types of ovens,...Read more

I just received this oven for Christmas, and I've already used it three times with excellent results! I cooked an 8 pound ham in under an hour, and it was the juiciest ham I have ever made. I also cooked Italian Sausage from frozen, as well as a 2 pound London Broil from frozen - both in under 30 minutes. It really does work as well as they say. This is my favorite kitchen gadget :)
