Black & Decker's Infrawave Oven is the first affordable appliance that uses infra-red technology. Buy this oven if you want to discover how good the foods you've been cooking conventionally can really taste! The ability to take frozen foods directly from the freezer to the oven is a major time saver. A true "set it and forget it" cooking innovation!

So this thing has the speed of a microwave, but gives the taste of an oven? Does it actually work like this? Has anybody got their hands on it, it sounds awesome!

The technology isn't really new. FlashBake ovens have been around for years - mostly in commercial kitchens. Panasonic has had a similar toaster oven, the NB-G100P, on the market for a couple of years (excellent reviews on epinions) and there are a few countertop ovens like the FlavorWave that use similar technology. Canadians looking for the InfraWave oven can find it at Canadian Tire.

I WONDER WHY BLACK AND DECKER DID NOT USE A NON-STICK COATING FOR THE INSIDE. STAINLESS IS A" BEAR" TO KEEP CLEAN.

They can't use Teflon anymore though. It seems stainless is the way most companies are going as an alternative.

cool, I will buy it and give it a try

Burns the outside and inside is uncooked. Don't buy this, it's crap. Stay away from Home Shopping Network too. They won't take it back.

Does anyone have appropriate infrawave oven settings for cooking frozen boneless chicken breast without first thawing?

Mine broke after 3 months.

I bought the infrawave oven last week and was excited. Today I am thinking about returning it because it obviously is not working properly/as advertised. For example: I made a Red Barron frozen personal size pizza using the pizza button and it turned into a disaster. I checked it after about 8 minutes and the cheese was burned black and I quickly turned it off. I figured it was done. I cut into the pizza to let it cool and the center was still frozen SOLID. I had to put it in the microwave so that I could thaw out my burned pizza so that I could eat it. It was nasty! Also it doesn't even toast that well. I made a toaster pastry and followed the instructions. It looked done, but when I went to eat it, the center was still cold. Also on the toaster function, I made a cheese toast and the front of the bread burned and the back was just barely toasted.

The only thing that I got to come out right was a chicken patty, although I had to cook it almost as long as the oven time because the center of the chicken patty was still cool at the suggested time using the "conversion feature".

Also, this thing is WAY overpriced. I bought mine at wal-mart and paid $118. Thank goodness, because I am going to return it because I am completely dissatisfied in this product.

I have to say that I've given this thing alot of chances, and I can't for the life of me understand why the designers did not see the obvious flaw- it broils the hell out of food's top surface before the rest of it is done.

I cover the food with aluminum as suggested in the manual and it doesn't cook.

I called the support line and the support person didn't seem to know the product, let alone what I was asking about specifically.

I think the "intelligent profiling" principle this oven uses is, to use an unhappy pun, half-baked.
