THE NEXT GENERATION IN COOKING

With the FLAVORWAVE OVEN

you can prepare delicious,
healthful meals in less than half the time of traditional methods. What makes
these superior results possible is our revolutionary approach to certain time-
honored cooking methods.
Professional cooks have long known that they could improve upon traditional
oven cooking by using a fan to accelerate the circulation of the oven’s hot air.
This traditional convection oven consists of a fan mounted on one side of a
metal box.
The FLAVORWAVE OVEN
®
EXPRESS
™
improves upon traditional
convection ovens in the following ways:
• The FLAVORWAVE OVEN
®
EXPRESS
™
bowl is made of glass, not
metal, so that you can clearly see what you are cooking from all sides.
• The FLAVORWAVE OVEN
®
EXPRESS
™
combines a circular bowl with a
fan mounted in the lid so that hot air currents move down over the food, around
the bowl’s sides, and then back up to the fan. This creates a tornado-like flow
of constantly moving, super-heated air that cooks and browns food quickly
and thoroughly.
• The FLAVORWAVE OVEN
®
EXPRESS
™
uses cooking racks that allow
you to cook two levels of food at once. In addition, when meat, poultry, or
fish is cooked on the lower rack, fats and oils are blown away through the
grating. You will cook lighter, more nutritious meals.

FOOD PREPARATION & PRESENTATION
PREPARATION
Careful preparation pays off in making appetizing, healthy and tasty meals.
Always remove excess fat. Clean and trim vegetables and garnishes, removing
all bruises and blemishes. Use only the freshest meats and vegetables.
Always ensure that all items of the meal are cooked at the right time.
This usually requires different starting times that must be planned ahead.
PRESENTATION
Try a few of these interesting ways to perk up your table and make any meal
a festive occasion:
• Slice a freshly baked loaf of bread or dinner rolls into a basket lined with
colorful napkins. Serve with butter or margarine, softened and mixed with
grated cheese, garlic salt or your favorite seasoning.
• Main course meats are more attractive when displayed on a large platter
surrounded by fresh parsley sprigs, carrot curls (made with a potato peeler)
and radish roses.
• Serve sauces in a pretty piece of china or glassware. Drop in a ladle and bring
to the table on a plate for easier passing between guests.
• Flowers on the table are always effective, but in a pinch use a grouping of your
favorite figurines or house plants.
• Candles make dinners cozy, so turn down the lights and turn up the charm.
Float small, flat candles in a large, clear bowl filled with water. The effect is
magical.
