Nuwave Pro Plus 2 Countertop Infrared Oven 100 presets 🍽

This countertop infrared oven combines convection, infrared and conduction heat to cook fresh or frozen foods without preheating, offering 360-degree surround heat and a transparent Power Dome so you can watch food as it cooks. It aims to cut surface fats by draining drippings during cooking while retaining juices, which can make everyday meals like roasted chicken, steaks or baked vegetables faster and cleaner.

Key Points

The Pro Plus 2 emphasizes fat reduction by using a raised cooking rack that lets grease drip away during cooking, and the clear dome lets you monitor progress without opening the unit. It supports cooking frozen items with no defrosting required and uses combined heating methods to cook from the inside and out, so foods brown and crisp while remaining moist inside. According to the manufacturer, the system can produce increased drip levels compared with conventional ovens, which helps reduce surface fat in meats. The unit accommodates family-size items such as a whole turkey up to about 10 pounds and also handles small portions with the same controls.

Usage Recommendations

Use the reversible rack to choose higher or lower cooking positions depending on whether you want a crisper exterior or gentler heat. For frozen foods, follow preset programs to avoid defrosting first, and monitor with the transparent dome to prevent overbrowning. When preparing fattier cuts, position the meat so drippings collect below the rack to reduce surface fat. Consider cooking multiple items at once by arranging them with space between pieces to keep flavors distinct and minimize smoke.

Practical Tips

Clean-up is straightforward because most parts except the power head are dishwasher safe. Wipe the dome and base liner after each use to prevent residue build-up, and soak removable components if baked-on bits appear. The Pro Plus 2 minimizes smoke and flavor transfer when cooking different foods together, but keep in mind strong aromatics like fish may still influence mild-flavored items if placed very close. Also note that the manufacturer’s trials mentioned changes in cholesterol markers when users switched cooking methods, however results may vary and depend on overall diet and lifestyle.
