Nuwave Oven Recipes

Nuwave Oven Recipe Book 

This recipe book contains valuable information that will help you start incorporating the NuWave Oven Pro Plus into your daily life. We’ve provided easy-to-prepare recipes, along with helpful tips at the beginning of each section that will help you achieve perfect cooking results every time.

Metal containers, aluminum foil or any oven-safe dish can be used in the NuWave Oven Pro Plus. The infrared rays will not penetrate through these materials. Lightweight aluminum foil works best for lining shallow dishes and pans. Cover food loosely with aluminum foil to protect from browning more than preferred. Keep in mind that heat will still circulate, but the foil may slow the cooking time of the food beneath. Steam buildup can occur when cooking foods that contain a lot of moisture, like vegetables or fish.

When your cooking cycle is complete, please remember to lift the dome so that steam is channeled away from your face. To keep prepared foods crisp, such as egg rolls, chicken tenders or pizza, remove the dome immediately after cooking.

Timing is the key to perfection with the NuWave Oven Pro Plus. Keep in mind that all cooking guidelines are just that, and may need to be adjusted depending on the specific situation. When cooking larger dishes such as roasts or other foods with varying thicknesses, suggested cooking times may need to be extended. Cook in 3-minute increments and check after each interval.

Using a meat thermometer is always essential for checking the internal temperature of the meat.

Recipes for Breakfast:

Bacon Cook at 350˚F on the 3-inch rack for 5-6 minutes per side. Sprinkle on brown sugar for 5 minutes before finishing for a sweet taste. For easy cleanup, place aluminum foil in the liner pan. Once the grease solidifies, discard the foil.

Egg substitutes can be used in any recipe. 1 egg equals ¼ cup egg substitute.

To warm pre-made muffins, bread or pastries, simply wrap in aluminum foil and place in the liner pan during the last 2 minutes of cooking time.

Toast bagels, English muffins or bread by placing on the 3-inch rack and cook at 350˚F for about 3-5 minutes.

Use a pan on a 3-inch rack and cook at 350˚F. Pecan or almond pieces, 3-4 minutes. Coconut, unsweetened and shredded, 1-2 minutes. Whole nuts can be roasted in two layers: For example, start one layer in a liner pan for 6 minutes and then place another pan, filled with nuts, on the 3-inch rack and continue for another 5 minutes. This doubles the capacity!

Dehydrating:

Alternate all foods when dehydrating. Non-stick cooking spray will help avoid sticking. When dehydrating, keep the dome open slightly to let moisture escape. Remove dome promptly once your cycle has completed to ensure that moisture does not build up.

Adding foods to the 3-inch rack as well can increase the amounts made. You need to alternate racks occasionally for even dehydrating times.

Herbs – Wash and dry. Leave on stems and place on racks. Place herbs on racks and dehydrate at 120˚F for 1 hour for more delicate herbs like thyme, and cook for 1½ hours for hardier herbs like rosemary. Place rack over herbs to prevent herbs from flying around.

Tips for Vegetables

Glass, oven-safe dishes are denser than metal, foil and silicone. Metal and foil also reflect heat so this will heat faster than glass, which absorbs heat. Silicone will absorb the heat instead of reflect, however it is thinner than oven-safe glass, so silicone will decrease the cooking time compared to an oven-safe glass dish.

Keep in mind that cooking times may vary by several minutes depending on the size of the vegetables.

Always select the freshest produce. Always wash vegetables thoroughly.

Different types of cooking vessels will affect cooking times in different ways. Foods cooked in denser dishes require longer cooking times. Foods cooked in larger, shallow dishes require shorter cooking times. Foods cooked in deeper dishes require longer cooking times.

Recipes for Poultry

Poultry should be turned halfway through the cooking process for even browning. When adding your favorite dry seasonings to frozen poultry, lightly brush with oil or sprinkle cold water on it beforehand; this will allow seasonings to adhere.

Brush sauces onto fresh poultry so the seasonings bake right in.

To save time and to add extra flavor, marinate poultry in a sealed bag or container and freeze it into separate servings. When ready to prepare, refer to the Quick & Easy Cooking Guide for appropriate cooking times.

To prevent poultry from browning too fast, place aluminum foil over the top. Be sure to secure the aluminum foil to the sides of the cooking rack or extend the aluminum foil outside of the oven. This will prevent the internal fan from blowing the aluminum foil around during the cooking process.

Turkey Tip: Start cooking the turkey, breast side down, for the first half of the cooking process. When you flip the turkey breast side up, if there are giblets inside the turkey, they should be thawed enough for easy removal at this time. During the last 20-30 minutes of the cooking process, stuff the cavity with your favorite stuffing and resume cooking. Poultry: When completely cooked, white meat will be white; thigh meat near the bone will have no pink color, and the juices will run clear.

*Using a meat thermometer is essential for checking the internal temperature of the meat to ensure that it has been thoroughly cooked to 165˚F.

Recipes for Pork

For even browning, turn pork halfway through the cooking process.

To use your favorite dry seasonings on frozen meat, sprinkle cold water on it beforehand; this will allow seasonings to adhere.

Brush sauces onto fresh meats to infuse flavors.

To save time, and to add extra flavor, marinate the pork in a sealed bag or container and freeze it into separate servings. For appropriate cooking times, refer to the Quick & Easy Cooking Guide.

Place aluminum foil or parchment paper loosely over the pork to prevent over-browning. Be sure to secure the foil to the sides of the rack or extend it outside the oven to prevent the NuWave Pro Plus Infrared Oven’s internal fan from blowing the foil around during the cooking process.

To Cook, a Ham – The NuWave Pro Plus Infrared Oven can cook up to an 8-pound boneless ham, or a 14-pound ham if using the NuWave® Extender Ring.

Place ham on the 1-inch rack. Add glaze during the last 10 minutes. If the ham is over-browning, place aluminum foil or parchment paper over the top. Cook at 300°F for 12-14 minutes per pound.

Using a meat thermometer is essential for checking the internal temperature of the meat to ensure that it has been thoroughly cooked.

Today’s pork is very lean and should not be overcooked. To check accurate doneness, use a digital cooking thermometer. The National Pork Board follows the guidance of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, which recommends cooking roasts, tenderloins and chops to an internal temperature of 145°F, followed by a three-minute rest time, resulting in a flavorful, tender and juicy eating experience. Ground pork, like all ground meat, should be cooked to 160°F. Pre-cooked ham can be reheated to 140°F or enjoyed cold.

Recipes for Dessert

When converting your own recipe to NuWave Pro Plus Oven methods, it is recommended to use the Extender Ring, 1-inch rack and bake at 300˚F the first time. You can always adjust from there.

The use of glass and ceramic pans will increase the required cooking time. Recipes in this book have been tested in silicone and metal pans.

For multi-layer baking, use the Silicone Baking Ring. Recipe temperatures will typically need to be set at 250˚F rather than 300˚F. Remember to adjust accordingly when using your own recipes.

Because the NuWave retains the moisture in baked goods, your recipe will stay fresh longer than recipes made in conventional ovens when stored properly.

For converting recipes requiring a 9×13-inch pan, you can usually substitute two pans using our 8×8-inch square silicone baking pan, with a divider in place, slicing into finger size bars.

For cakes, cookies, muffins and more, adding the Extender Ring will control even browning. Depending on recipe directions, place cookies around the perimeter of the liner pan (avoid placing cookies directly under Power Head).

For bottom crust pies, bake crust alone at 350˚F for 15-20 minutes. Add pie filling and cook the remaining time as directed.

If a recipe calls for a glaze, spread it on during the last 5 minutes to prevent overcooking.

Always check for doneness with a toothpick or fork. If additional time is needed only use 3-5 minutes increments.

The Silicone Baking Ring can be used for any foods you want to prevent from sticking to the rack.

Recipes that call for baking in our NuWave Silicone 8×8-inch Pan will require more time if you are using a smaller pan. Check for doneness with a toothpick and 3-5 minutes at a time until the desired doneness is reached.
