The Nosh Oven Pro: Upgraded Based on Customer Feedback
The Nosh Oven Pro portable oven offers several key upgrades that make it stand out from the original Nosh Oven, all based on valuable customer feedback. Here’s how these improvements directly address common concerns and enhance your cooking experience:
1. Larger Water Tank for Longer Cooking Sessions
One of the most frequent pieces of feedback we received was that the water tank in the original Nosh Oven was too small, making long cooking sessions inconvenient, especially for larger meals or batch cooking.
To address this, the Nosh Oven Pro (portable oven) features a larger water tank, allowing it to provide stable steam for a much longer time without the need for frequent refills. This upgrade is especially beneficial for:
Baking, slow cooking, and batch cooking where long, continuous steaming to keep food moist and tender.
The ability to retain steam during the entire cooking process, preventing interruptions and ensuring a smooth cooking experience from start to finish.
Steam cleaning, where a larger water tank can support extended steam cleaning cycles to loosen grease and food residue, making the cleaning process much easier and more efficient. This feature ensures that users can enjoy a quick and hassle-free cleanup without the need to constantly add water.
2. Increased Capacity for Larger Meals
For families with more members or those who frequently cook large meals, such as roast turkeys or holiday feasts, the original Nosh Oven’s smaller capacity was not sufficient to handle such dishes. The Nosh Oven Pro comes with a larger cooking capacity, making it perfect for:
Family gatherings, holiday meals, and batch cooking where you need to prepare larger portions of food at once.
The larger water tank also supports cooking multiple dishes simultaneously, allowing you to use the steam function for several items, which increases efficiency and improves overall cooking results.
3. 20-Second Rapid Steam Technology
Based on feedback about the speed of steaming, we’ve introduced innovative micro-pressure steam technology in the Nosh Oven Pro. This technology ensures that steam reaches full pressure in just 20 seconds, offering the following benefits:
Faster cooking: Quick steam heating helps speed up the cooking process, reducing your time spent in the kitchen.
Quick self-cleaning: The micro-pressure steam is also highly effective in the self-cleaning function, where it helps loosen food residue and grease faster, making the cleaning process significantly more efficient.
4. Portable Oven for Baking- Dual NTC Precision Temperature Control
Another key upgrade in the Nosh Oven Pro (portable oven) is the addition of dual NTC sensors, which offer:
Precise temperature control: The dual sensors provide real-time monitoring and adjustment of the cooking temperature, ensuring that your food is always cooked to perfection, whether it's delicate pastries or juicy roasted meats.
More consistent results: No more worrying about uneven temperatures that might burn the surface of baked goods while leaving the inside undercooked. This precise temperature control is crucial for baking tasks such as bread and cakes, where stable heat is critical for the best texture and flavor.
5. New Features for Heating and Sanitizing
Customer feedback also highlighted the need for an oven that could not only cook but also reheat and sanitize food. The Nosh Oven Pro addresses this by adding two highly requested features:
Reheat Function: This allows you to quickly heat leftovers or pre-cooked food without the need for a microwave, making the Nosh Oven Pro a more versatile appliance in your kitchen.
Sanitizing Function: This addition ensures that you can sanitize kitchen utensils or other items directly in the oven, eliminating the need for additional equipment like a microwave or separate sanitizer.
