Luci had mentioned in one of her videos about not cooking over 350 degrees. Does this apply to convection cooking as well?

For anyone interested in the subject of microwaves and water, you might want to look at the book or listen to the audio CD's called The Hidden Messages in Water. by Masaru Emoto. Using high speed photography on water crystals, changes of all sorts, in many different situations are recorded.

Some assistance please! I have received my AROMA oven, and already have fixed the chicken--guess I am one that needs a little more actual recipes for dishes, etc.
Are there any recipes anyone can share? Or will a recipe book be offered sometime? Thanks!

I'm really surprised that Dr. Mercola would promote an item such as this that uses high heat to cook food. He has always preached that the higher the heat, the more you damage the food item and the less nutriteous it is.

People, save your money and use a crockpot. I cook most of my meats this way as it is cooked at a lower temperature and does make your meat moist (no it doesn't roast it). You have to plan ahead as it does take longer for food to cook this way, but you can put in food that's already frozen (doesn't have to be thawed first - just cooked longer) and it's great for people that work. Dinner is done when you get home!

Doc:

You are correct that convection ovens are efficient and a better way to cook. BUT your description about how they work would make any engineer ill to read. Put in the simplest terms, any device that brings air in from the outside MUST exhaust an equal volume of air to the outside simultaneously. Simple law of physics, Doc. Such statements damage your credibility.

BTW, we have been using countertop "toaster ovens" for the last 11 years for almost all of our cooking, except for things that won't fit. Bought a larger model a few years back to fit more items. Very healthy way to cook, most things can be baked or broiled. Less mess, much less energy used, faster cooking.

I'll check out your equivalent convection unit; have been wanting something like that for a while. It's definitely a good idea. I hope it is a good product.

I quit using a microwave long ago when Dr. Mercola indicated the harm it does to food. I have since discovered a perfect way to reheat and cook food. I use a small convection toaster oven and insert a glass baking dish with whatever food I need to cook/reheat. Vegetables turn out great - almost like you cook them on a grill.
Vegetables - place them on the glass baking dish, add butter, real salt, pepper, garlic. 350 degrees for 15-25 minutes. This retains the flavor of the vegetables.
Reheating is a breeze also. Just place on dish and 10-15 minutes later, it is done.

I wrote to you several months ago complaining about the price of your Aroma Oven. You had it for $129 and I told you of a website that offered it for $89. So now I see you lowered your price. I sure wish you would have acknowledged my email. I bought a different brand oven from another company and got it for $69. Just wanted to let you know.

I own this oven and wholeheartedly admit -- it does a great job on Chicken. My FAVORITE use however is roasted vegetables -- any kind -- harder vegies in first to cook longer. Toss vegies with olive oil and seasalt. Let them brown a bit in the oven. Eat brussel sprouts this way and you'll never eat them any other way -- promise!

Please show us more recipes for the Aroma Oven. Many thanks.

Does anyone know if the "nuwave oven pro" or the Flavor Wave Oven, both of which use not only convection, but also conduction and infrared, would be better than just a convection (Aroma turbo) oven? I am mostly wondering if the infrared & conduction features added to the convection would make a better oven than just the convection. Anyone know?
Thanks for any tips, and how would one boil water for tea in the Aroma oven? Is the stove top still the best? I still use the microwave, but don't know if I should.

We use the microwave to re-heat leftovers or warm up ingredients. Does this oven work for this purpose? How much
heat does it put out when is use? Does it need any special
ventilation? Is it "better" than a toaster oven for small stuff?
I would like to use something other than the microwave.

I have seen these but am an anti gadget person be nature. I don't stand around waiting for the chicken to roast I go do something, play a game with the kids, read, do dishes, etc. We only use our microwave for heating cold cups of coffee or a leftover plate. Otherwise it just sits.

Oh, and what happened to using a crockpot? I have three and they are my mainstay for summer cooking to keep the heat out of the house. I use them for meat, side, bread, and dessert dishes. If you need recipes for any of them just look on recipezaar. We try and keep the AC off until mid June here in South TX. So it is the electric griddle, the gas grill, and slow cookers.

As for Dr. Mercola offering products and advertising useful items to help pay for a the service I say go for it, this is the way news agencys have been run for decades. This is a great site and a wonderful service and he is welcome to let me know of any products he thinks would be of interest to me. I can choose to purchase or not. The information presented here is too important to risk stifling the message by charging a service fee. Just my opinion.

The Aroma oven is excellent BUT I have had mine replaced twice, because the lettering (temp. settings etc.) rapidly degraded and wiped off, however carefully I cleaned it. I use it once a week for roasting a chicken and it is now happening to my 3rd oven.

I have drawn a blank both from the Mercola office and from the manufacturer but I simply cannot believe that mine are the only ones this has happened to. The lettering is put on by some kind of transfer without any associated etching/grooves etc. so the temperature markings just disappear completely.

My sister has a new oven which she refuses to start using until we solve this problem. She wants to paint over the surface with a heatproof varnish but the manufacturer has said they will not replace any item which has been 'modified'. Am I really the only person with this problem?

Aroma oven IN in my kitchen and microwave Out!
Fast, convenient for everyday cooking and great for reheating wonderful leftovers! Worth the money I spent for this little oven.
