NuWave Oven Pro cooks a turkey in 2 hours
Have you ever had a crowd coming over for Thanksgiving, but you forgot to start cooking the turkey? Here's another Thanksgiving gadget that can help, the NuWave Oven Pro. Its makers claim it can roast up a 10-pound turkey in two hours, just enough time to make your guests think you're just warming them up with a few cocktails before you serve the big feast.
NuWave performs this miracle using three kinds of heat: Conduction, convection and infrared, turning that raw bird into a golden brown beauty in no time flat. The company also offers an "extender" that can accommodate a 16-pound turkey. Convection? Isn't that a lot of hot air? In fact, it's a great way to cook, and maybe in combo with those two other heating methods, this thing could actually work.
While it looks like it could save some energy if you use it instead of a conventional oven, it still takes up a lot of room on the countertop. We're a bit skeptical of this $119.97 appliance with its mixed reviews, especially since it's the subject of breathless infomercials. Anyone risking Thanksgiving dinner on one of these?

Yes, I am! And I love it! I tried one yesterday just to make sure it would work. Now I will try my better turkey tomorrow and not worry about a thing. Yep, I sound like an infomercial...

I own two Nuwaves (one for the kitchen, one for the camper). This is by far the best kitchen "gadget" I have ever purchased! Meat comes out crispy, browned, moist and delicious. It makes the best chicken wings possible, brown, crispy, moist and not a drop of added oil. Bacon comes out perfect with no grease splatters to clean up. The unit cleans up surprisingly easy. Nothing burns on, everything just wipes clean. There is a new version of this oven out called the Morningware Oven that also has halogen heat. I want to buy one.

I bought mine two years ago and use it almost daily. I love it and the turkey turns out great. Steaks and chicken turn out awsome. Just throw on your spices and set the time. Best thing I've ever bought off of an infomercial. Thumbs up !!!
