NuWave Oven Cooking Techniques

In 1997, Hearthware developed the first countertop infrared oven, and that system eventually was improved to become the NuWave Oven, which is sold through infomercials. It works by using a 1,500-watt “sheath heater” which cooks food quickly. Whether you are cooking meats and vegetables or making desserts, it's possible you can do it faster in a NuWave. Cooking Beef
Keep in mind that cooking methods for beef in a NuWave are based on thickness and not weight, and remember to turn the meat halfway through the recommended time for even browning. For a fresh hamburger patty, cook a 1/2-inch patty for eight minutes on the high setting (four minutes on each side) and for a 1-inch patty cook it for 12 minutes. Fresh steaks that are cut 1 inch thick are simple to cook to the perfect temperature. Set the NuWave to high and use the 4-inch rack. For well-done, cook the steak for 18 minutes (nine on each side). For medium, reduce the time to 15 minutes. Medium-rare steak only takes 12 minutes, and a rare steak can be done in 10.
