Cooking Tips of the month for NuWave Oven Users
January
What better way to show a cooking tip for comfort foods than the
month of January. When cooking
foods like soups, stews, gumbo, and chowders, as you let the broth
simmer, place your meats,
vegetables and or fish in the Nu-Wave Oven according to cooking
chart. Not only will your food will
be more moist instead of dried out, this will save you more time and
less dishes than if you were to
cook everything on the stove top.
February
Make the perfect Valentine's Dinner in the Nu-Wave Oven. Lobster
Tails and Steak can be placed
directly on the 4 inch rack. Consult your Quick & Easy Cooking Guide
for detailed power level and
cook time instructions. Need to melt butter? No problem! Put butter
in an oven safe dish and place
on the 1 inch rack. Cook on power level 8 for about 2 minutes until
the butter has fully melted.
Caution, bowl will be hot.
March
Did you know the Nu-Wave Oven also can replace your toaster? Place
Bagels, English muffins or
bread on the 4" rack and cook on high for about 4 minutes. To cook a
great Grilled Cheese
sandwich, place your grilled cheese sandwich on the 4" rack (try it
without butter on the outside of
the sandwich, tastes just as good) and cook on high 3-4 minutes per
side.
April
With Easter right around the corner here is the best way to cook
your ham and eggs! To cook a
ham: The cooking time is only 15 minutes per pound! You can cook up
to a 8 lb ham without the
bone and when you use the extender ring you can cook up to a 14lb
ham with the bone. Place the
ham on the 1" rack. For best results, flip the ham 1/2 way thru and
place your glaze over the ham
for the last 5 minutes of cooking. You can still baste your ham with
the juices right in the liner pan.
If browning occurs before the cooking is complete, place foil over
the ham. Hard boiled eggs: No
need to boil! Place your eggs on the 1" rack, cook on power level 9
for 10 minutes. When cooking is
complete, remove eggs promptly and let sit until completely cooled.
May
With Graduations, Mother's Day and summer vacations approaching, it
seems like there is even less
time for the most important meal of the day; breakfast. With the
Nu-Wave Oven you can now enjoy
a flavorful breakfast without having to go thru a drive-thru. When I
am on the go, I like to take a
flour tortilla, sprinkle some cheese, ham, a couple of peppers
(anything that you feel like placing on
this breakfast is great in the Nu-Wave) right on top of the
tortilla. Place it on the 4" rack, and in 2
minutes you have a great tasting breakfast. Not only does the
Nu-Wave save you time, it doesn't
dry out your food like a microwave oven.
June
Grilling season is here and what better way to grill than with the
Nu-Wave Oven! Not only does
Italian Sausage, Brats and Burgers turn out perfect every time,
(even from frozen), you can also
roast your favorite vegetables right on the 4" rack without over
charring a perfect vegetarian meal.
If one person enjoys meat and the other enjoys vegetarian, no
problem, go Nu-Wave! Place your
favorite meats on the 4" rack right along side of the vegetables and
the foods do not mix!
To make your cleanup even easier, place a piece of Foil on top of
the Liner Pan. Next place the grill
(1" or 4" inch) on top of foil and tuck in edges. When cooled you
can just wrap up the foil and toss
the remains.
July
What better time of the year than to make Corn on the Cob in your
Nu-Wave Oven! No need to boil
the corn, burn on the grill and end up with poor results! Just place
your ears of corn on the 1" or 4"
rack, cook on HI for 4-5 minutes on each side. You will have the
best tasting corn on the cob ever!
August
College students, High School, Grade School, what do they have in
common? They all are hungry
after a long day at school! And the Nu-Wave Oven is just the life
saver for this occasion! Frozen
snacks turn out perfect in the Nu-Wave Oven. Just place appetizers
on the 4" rack, cook anywhere
from 2 - 9 minutes according to directions, flip in between cooking
time and you will have great
tasting snacks without the added grease or bland taste you would get
if you made these in the
oven or microwave.
September
Football season is starting up and this recipe is a great snack to
bring over for those pre-season tailgating parties. Not only is this
a great dish to pass, clean up is a breeze! You can even cook the
wings right at your guests home! Take a look at our accessories
page, there is a great lightweight travel bag for you to bring your
oven to any occasion! Tangy BBQ wings: Rinse wings in cold water and
drain, add salt, pepper or any additional seasonings you prefer, and
mix with Sweet Baby Rays BBQ sauce". Place wings on the 4" rack,
cook for 12 minutes. Flip wings and cook an additional10 minutes.
Brush with remaining sauce and cook for 2 more minutes.
October
Squash is not just for decoration. Here is a festive recipe for
anyone that wants to try Acorn Squash. The Nu-Wave oven not only
cooks Squash up to 50% faster than a regular oven, you will also
find out they come out fabulous! Acorn Squash: Cut in half and scoop
out the seeds and membrane. Cut a little off the end so the halves
sit upright. Place 2 tablespoons each of brown sugar, butter and a
sprinkle of nutmeg and cinnamon in each half of the squash. Place on
the 1"
rack or the liner pan. Nu-Wave on HI for about 40 minutes or until
soft or fork tender.
Pumpkin seeds turn out great in the Nu-Wave Oven. After you boil the
seeds in salt water and let dry, place seeds mixed with oil and salt
(or any other seasonings you prefer) directly on the liner pan and
cook at power level 8 for 5-8 minutes, 5-9 times and stir in
between. If you are using sauces such as Worcestershire sauce, you
might want to rinse off the pan after the fourth or fifth
cooking time.
November
One of the great things about the Nu-Wave Oven is how delicious and
perfectly brown turkeys turn out. A lot of people have asked; how do
you get the giblets out of a frozen turkey? Start cooking the turkey
breast side down for the first half of the cooking process. When you
flip the turkey breast side up, the insides should be thawed enough
to remove the giblets.
December
For me, when I think of December, one of the first things that comes
to mind is baking cookies. Did you know you can make cookies right
in your Nu-Wave Oven? It is very easy to do; just place your cookies
right on the liner pan, bake according to directions, when the timer
goes off, simply use your 4 inch cooking rack on the side as a
cooling rack. Your cookies will come perfect every time. Now you do
not have to worry about forgetting to turn off the oven when you are
on the last batch of cookies or wasting any extra energy every time
you need to open the oven door to check on
your cookies.
* Multi-level cooking is easy and fun. When multi-level cooking with
foods that do not take the same amount of time, place the foods that
need a longer time to cook on the lower racks and when those are
almost done, place the higher rack with faster cooking food above
and finish both, OR reverse the process: Place softer vegetables on
lower levels and longer cooking foods on 4" rack.
