Morningware HO1200M-WOR Infrared Halogen Oven

Comment: I loved my old Thane Flavor Wave. I liked it so much I bought two. Then the plastic dome broke and I found that I couldn't order another one. I pirated parts from the extra and purchased several other similar models to the trusty old Flavor Wave but they just were not as good. One day I was looking at what was available on Amazon (my favorite retailer in the world) and came across this model. I noticed the controls seemed to be the same as on my beloved Flavor Wave so I bought one. I'm happy to say that this is the same model with the same controls. I'm betting it came from the same manufacturer in China. Anyway, I ordered 3 more as spares so if they go off the market again, I will be prepared for many years. If you liked the old Thane Flavor Wave, you'll like this Morningware model.

Comment: The Power Head failed after approximately 10 minutes, which required telephone calls and emails to the manufacturer to have it replaced. After a 7 day wait, a new powerhead arrived. There were no shipping costs for this. But that wasn't automatic. Initially, they wanted me to pay shipping. So it never hurts to ask (or insist), as my mother used to say!

Since the replacement, I have used the oven several times and am quite satisfied with the results.

Comment: Love this oven. I don't know how much electricity has been saved since we hardly ever use our large oven any more. I would bet it's quite a bit, not to mention all the heat we keep out of the house. " Which is a good thing when you live in Florida ". We generally use this oven a couple of times a day, so it definitely has had plenty of use in the last 2+ years and it's still working like the day we got it. Nearly every thing I cook is done in here. Unlike a microwave oven, meat and chicken brown beautifully, also works great on garlic toast. It also can be set for a delayed start if needed. This works out just fine for the 2 of us, since we don't make large meals, even though this will hold a 8 or 9 lb roast or turkey " Larger if you order it with the extender ring ". This does cook quite a bit faster than a conventional oven, but not as fast as they say it does. And yes it does cook from frozen, it will take longer of course. There cooking chart tells you how long to cook individual items that are frozen or not frozen. All and all this oven has worked out exceptionally well for us, we would be lost without it.

The digital timer can be set from minutes to hours, depending on your needs. The temperature can also be set from 190 deg. to 400 deg. When the timer turns off, the temperature will automatically reset to 190 deg and keeps your food at that safe temperature till you turn the oven off. A nice thing about this oven is the interior is lit up, so you can watch everything cooking. This oven is extremely easy to clean, there is a heavy glass liner on the bottom that comes out easily and is dishwasher safe. That goes for the stainless steel rack also. For most items we generally put aluminum foil on top of the rack, so cleanup is a snap we just throw the foil out. The clear plastic dome very rarely needs cleaning, since the food rarely splatters. But if it does, it's just a matter of wiping it out with a damp cloth.

About 3 1/2 years ago I bought the NuWave oven from a TV commercial. I cost about $130 with shipping the oven and a extra plastic gadget they give you, but have to pay shipping for. It stopped working in 13 months, one month after the guarantee was up. I liked the way it cooked, but decided to look for an alternative oven. I found this one for less money, without the extra gadget and free shipping. So far I am very well pleased with it, and would highly recommend it.

UPDATE;::: It's over 3 years now and still working great.
