TURBO STORY
THE NEXT GENERATION IN COOKING
™
With the FLAVORWAVE OVEN
®
TURBO 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
®
TURBO improves upon traditional convection ovens
in the following ways:
• The FLAVORWAVE OVEN
®
TURBO bowl is made of glass, not metal, so that
you can clearly see what you are cooking from all sides.
• The FLAVORWAVE OVEN
®
TURBO 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
®
TURBO 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.
SELECTING YOUR FOOD
MEAT
Beef : Select rich, red, fine-textured meat with a light covering of fat (having a
marbled appearance). Buy whole pieces and cut to suit – you can really save a lot.
Lamb: Select lean meat. Meat should be soft, pinkish-red and fine textured.
Pork : Select lean meat. Meat should be very light pink in color, fine textured and
fresh smelling.
FISH
Whole: Select only fresh fish with full, clear eyes and bright gills - a sure sign of
freshness. Also, scales should be bright and clean – not slimy. Fish should
look and smell fresh from the sea. Flesh should be firm and spring back when
touched.
Fillets: Select only firm fillets without discoloration that have a pleasant sea
smell. Fillets must not be dull, soft or ooze water when touched.
POULTRY
Select only fresh meat or birds. Poultry should look and smell fresh.
VEGETABLES / FRUIT
Select firm, almost ripe fruit; check for bruises and blemishes – color should be
clear and bright. Vegetables should be crisp and of good color. Try to avoid
vegetables sold tightly packed in plastic wrap - they will spoil quickly.
Never use vegetables that are soft or limp.
