Oh, I forgot to add that we have a similar breville at work and it's a nice oven, but again, takes up a lot of space.

This past thread might help:

For reducing your fat intake, however, you might look for alternative things you'd like to eat that are cooked by a different method, however. You can make crisped up vegetables and potatoes by tossing in a little good oil and seasoning/herbs/spices and laying them out on a baking sheet and putting them in any good oven at 375-425° F, depending on the oven and type/thickness/density, for 40-75 minutes, depending on all the previous.

If you like battered or breaded fried meats, when they're well prepared, they actually steam in their own moisture, which is held in by the coating. You can get a fairly similar result if you spray the outside with oil and put in the oven, but you can also get rid of the coating by using moist cooking methods such as steaming and braising.

Good luck.

I bought a Nuwave infrared oven at Kohl's with my coupon. I have not used my oven since. I bought it for convenience. Cooking 2 frozen chicken breast in it now. Should be done in 30 mins with no preheat time. Also have cooked frozen salmon and shrimp, I roast all kinds of veggies. Frozen fries get nice and crisp. Lots of videos on you tube you can watch. I'd buy it again in a heartbeat. I don't make fatty foods so for me it's more about speed than health benefits.

I think most of those types of things are gimmicky. The majority of people buy them, use them a few times, then let them collect dust.

I did just get a Breville Smart Oven Pro (the newest model) and it's basically another oven plus toaster and apparently it can do slow cooking also. I wanted it to use as a 2nd oven or when I only need to roast 1/4 sheet of veggies or do smaller things. I've used it a lot in the 2 weeks I've had it, but I haven't roasted veggies yet which I normally do a lot in the big oven and we don't really eat French fries or things like that so I can't comment on how they turn out. I might roast some Yukon gold potatoes tomorrow so I'll try to remember to report back on that. It is a convection oven (you can turn it on or off) and it did a great job crisping up homemade pizza crust...and this thing makes a mean piece of toast, seriously!

I have a NuWave and, like the previous poster, love it. I don't use anything else for oven frying and roasting chicken parts. I get much better and faster results than in the regular oven or toaster oven. I cook chicken thighs or legs over a bed of onions and mushrooms moistened with chicken broth, 15 minutes per side (top side last) and end up with moist chicken with perfectly crisp skin with almost no residual fat. Potatoes fresh or frozen also crisp up well. I just tried the recipe below in the NuWave and got very nice crisp potatoes in a total bake time of 17 minutes instead of the 45 minutes the original recipe calls for (I also cut the total cook time further by microwaving the potatoes instead of boiling them but that's neither here nor there): http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/crispy-shaken-potatoes-with-rosemary-51244610 .

My SIL and her Dh use their Nuwave almost exclusively for indoor cooking. They love it.

we don't have much counterspace, but we do have room for our Foreman which we use a lot.

I have a Nuwave Bravo XL , bought about 1 month ago. The air fryer is ridiculous to use. Requires the probe be placed in food....have you any idea how hard it is to place the probe in a frozen home made egg roll? And the recipe book does NOT contain ANY info on the slow cook component. Toast at level 5 , the automatic choice, is barely toasted...so I need to play with the time and temp. To say I am disappointed is insufficient. But...I am pig headed and so use BAKE for almost everything. I do not recommend
