I have a pretty big home oven and it works great for most instances. However sometimes I have a lot of people come over to my house for dinner parties so I decided to check into a nuwave oven as a back up to my regular one. To my surprise I not only found that the Nuwave Oven does a faster job of cooking but it takes up a lot less space on my counter than the space a second big oven would take up. I could never fit another regular size one in my kitchen. So now when extra people are going to be coming over I got the extra help I need to feed them all.
