NuWave Mini White Infrared Oven

Product Review

The Nuwave Mini Infrared Oven is designed to produce succulent meats, poultry, and fish. The NuWave quickly and easily cooks foods while keeping them moist on the inside, and crisp and browned on the outside with out using any fats or oils. Convenience and versatility comes from its small, light weight and portable size for use in RVs, dorms, boats or as an extra oven for big gatherings. Start the oven and watch the food sizzle and brown under the clear plastic dome. The safe infrared rays allow you to barbecue, roast, grill, bake, broil, dehydrate, steam and air fry.

Save up to 85% more energy by using 800 watts rather than conventional ovens' 3500 watts. No smoke is created so no ventilation system is needed. All parts, except the power head, are dishwasher safe and all oil splatters are self-contained. The polycarbonate dome is clear, lightweight, highly durable, while the stainless steel cooking rack is reversible for multiple uses. Easy to clean, the stainless steel liner pan base can also be used as a serving tray. The dome holder keeps the power head within reach while you prepare food. The Nuwave cooks most foods up to 50% faster than a conventional oven, without preheating or defrosting, for the best in flavor and taste.

I bought this Hearthware Home Products Nuwave Mini Infrared Oven - As Seen on TV
for my daughters birthday...I was so excited because I've wanted one for so long but the Pro family size.

So she was also excited she wanted to take out frozen chicken or frozen whatever and pop it into the oven and in how ever many minutes have a delicious cooked meal...she says that not only did it take longer to cook than the book says...but the chicken came out rubbery...

So I gave her a gift card and took the oven...today I cooked frozen pizza, bacon and a frozen sirloin burger. They did all take longer than the book stated. But they all came out tasting good..

I haven't tried frozen chicken breasts yet I will try that soon...what I don't like about the Mini oven is its oblong in shape...makes it impossible to cook any medium round items over 7.5 inches. You can't any use single size cake pans...so you're very limited on what size of items you can cook...Read more

I purchased the large Nuwave pro and loved it so much I ordered the mini also. Both are fantastic! My husband laughed at me when I ordered the first one, but he was also very impressed with the way it cooked after the first meal. The mini is perfect for veggies or smaller meats. I am into cooking healthy and the amount of fat that is removed from meats is great. I think the mini will be used more than the Nuwave Pro because it is much easier to clean than the Pro is only because of the size. I was surprised at how easy the racks are to clean. No scrubbing needed, but I have found that cleaning racks on other appliances in the dishwasher damages the finish and makes them harder to clean so these won't be cleaned in the dishwasher.
The cooking times given are just a starting point. I have also found that it takes quite a bit longer to cook than the recommended times. I was aware of this from the reviews I read before I ordered them so if speed is the reason you are...Read more

I was sad when the plastic dome broke on my NuWave several years ago. I replaced it with something similar fron Aroma, which had a design flaw. Then I got a similar product from Target which lasted two years. The large ones worked well and most of what I cooked went 10-20 minutes at 400degrees.
This model is barely big enough to cook 3 strips of bacon in 11 minutes. A chicken breast, more than 30 minutes. If you like the speed and versatility of convection cooking, this is not satisfactory.
