I use my Nuwave for oven frying and does great, but am tired of fighting the cracked lid. Does this oven fry well and are things crispy????

I like the French Frys. They will get crispy if you leave them long enough, but you must watch so they don't burn.

I have not turned over the items I have cooked on it. I have mostly used this for frozen french fries or warming up those that I could not finish from a cafe. I have also warmed up fried chicken and it seemed to regain its crispyness. I warmed up pizza but did not notice that it got crispy.

I don't own a Nuwave Cooktop, so I don't know the answer to that. But I don't see any reason why you couldn't. Try it out and see if food will cook to your satisfaction, that's the only way to be sure. The nuwave manufacturers might tell you only their cookware will work properly, but that might just be them trying to get you to buy their products.

I can't answer your question honestly, since I bought this item to use with the NuWave magnetic induction cooktop. However, it's stainless steel, and I wouldn't be afraid to put it in the oven. However, taking it OUT of the oven would required careful handling, since the handles are also stainless steel, and could cause severe burns if not handled with the proper hand protection.

Since I've never used a Tfal fryer, I can't really compare them. As I understand it, though, the two items are completely different in their technology, as in a fryer compared to a convection oven. I'm afraid your question is like comparing apples to oranges.

With some gentle prying, I am almost always able to remove the waffles without them splitting apart. Occasionally, I do not put enough oil in and end up with a torn waffle. Is the pan too hot when you pour the batter in? Is the oil burning? Also, I have found that, for some reason, the whole wheat recipe included on the package sticks a bit more than the other recipes. And make sure the pan is completely clean of any dried or burnt batter before cooking another waffle.

I have used it both ways and haven't noticed a "frying" effect. LOVE this product. Recommended by my hairstylist. Prefer over Biosilk hands down!!

Hi. Real life customer here. I had one of these in Australia for about a year (they seem more popular there and you can buy them at most appliance retailers). We loved it so much we hunted one down in the US when we moved there earlier this year. It does a brilliant job of giving you the taste and crispiness of fried food without any of the oil. It really works. It is good for frozen fries, chicken nuggets and other types of frozen oven bake style fried foods. Heating in an oven gives a good result but this is much faster and is just like it has been freshly fried...with zero oil. It is also brilliant at reheating takeout. No more yuk cold McDonald's fries when you get home with your burger. It is not a straight replacement for a deep fryer though. I sometimes use it to cook fried chicken, but I coat the chicken pieces in seasoning, then shallow fry in a frypan for 2-3 minutes each side just to get some oil into the pieces and then put in the air fryer for 10 minutes. They come out perfect. My mum skips the shallow fry step but just sprays some oil (Pam) on them then air fries them. They come out pretty good but I find them a little dryer - not quite golden KFC style. I've not tried baking with it, though I have done nachos in it which turned out well. Also anything you want to cook in a batter will still need to be 'sealed' by shallow frying it first before moving to the air fryer. To be honest, we mostly use it for frozen fried foods (fries, chicken pieces) because it is fast and gives a perfect result...and it is worth it just for this!

I looked it up on 'Askville by Amazon'. There is a ton of good information there. Ikeep mine tightly sealed and in a cool dark area. It is still good but there is not much left. I have been frying more often than normal.

I see the questions were answered. I will add that it is every bit as good (and once I learned how to use it as it is very different from my NuWave and much more complicated) as my Nu Wave and certainly much cheaper than the Nu Wave. I leave it at my son's home so I have an extra burner when I go to visit as I do all the cooking.

I've had mine since December. LOVE IT! I love the fast bake feature and the convection oven works wonderfully! Especially nice when I don't want to heat up the entire kitchen! Follow the directions for the install, and enjoy it!

I don't know for sure as I don't have the nuwave to compare it to but I love my ovente! I don't have a stove so I use this just about every day... It's very responsive to raising or lowering the temp - easy to clean - it's just great!

Elevation and gas/electric ovens can make a difference in how it bakes up. This is usually pretty good, but I do like the devils food better. I found it to be a tiny bit crumbly, but started subbing coconut oil for butter and fruit juice for water and it is maybe too moist! Experiment with it. :)

I haven't any problems with it, though it's not non-stick. Read somewhere that one good technique is to rub a little oil on the pan, shake in some Kosher salt and rub it in, then oil slightly again. Things sure do not stick with that. They suggested wiping it dry after, rather than washing it, to avoid needing to re-treat, but I'm not so keen on that notion. I really like my Cuisinart cookware.

The majority of the posts are positive. However, a few fuss about "breakage" and/or the heating element dying out after a couple of uses.What model is yours? I am begining to comprehend the proper uses and the best recipes, but "model numbers" are not given with the posts.MML

My opinion is that the NuWave is light weight, easy to use and easy to clean. I deem it safe for any age but safety has to be practiced while using it.
