1. What is Triple Combo Cooking (TCC) power?
|
The TCC combines the three cooking methods.
- Conduction is the heat that is applied directly to the food.
- Convection is the circulated hot air, produced by our quiet motor and specially designed fan.
They allow the heat to distribute evenly for faster cooking and even browning.
- Far Infrared is simply a form of gentle, invisible radiant heat. It penetrates the inside of foods while also
cooking from the outside, leaving foods moist and full of flavor yet browned to perfection. Hearthware's
specially patented heating rods enhance the NuWave Oven's unique infrared capabilities. The concept is
similar to the warmth of the sun's rays felt on your skin. As a matter of fact, about 80% of the sun's rays
consist of these infrared rays. The same principle applies to our NuWave Oven, only on a smaller scale.
Restaurants have been using this heat for years to keep foods warm.

2. What features set the NuWave Oven apart from others?
|
- Hearthware, the manufacturer of the NuWave Oven, has been manufacturing countertop infrared ovens since
1997. In fact, we are the manufacturer of the original Infrared Cooking System. The NuWave Oven is our newest
next generation oven.
- Only the NuWave Oven features the patented locking mechanism, which securely holds the dome, and the
power head in place even when the oven gets hot, preventing them from separating and releasing hot steam
and which may cause burns. This is a very important safety feature only available in the NuWave Oven.
- NuWave Oven uses a long lasting 1500 Watt SHEATH HEATER (which can last up to 30 years) similar to most
conventional ovens. NuWave Oven does not use HALOGEN bulb as a heat source. HALOGEN bulbs will most

as the Best Performing by independent professional chefs for eight years in a row.
