Q. I have lost my recipe book that it came with and would like some wonderful recipes. Thanks for your help.
A. Whole Frozen Turkey (10 pounds)
Buying a frozen turkey and making it in less than 2 1/2 hours is so easy and is an unexpected treat for the whole family.
Unwrap the frozen turkey and rinse in cold water. While still wet, season the outside as desired and place on liner pan or 1" rack breast side down. Nu-Wave on HI for 60 minutes. (At this point, the gizzards inside should be defrosted and you can remove for later use. Season or fill cavity with vegetables at this point). Turn turkey breast side up Nu-Wave on HI for another 75-90 minutes or until thermometer reads 165°F. If the skin is becoming too brown, cover with tin foil just as you would a conventional oven.
Let the bird sit as usual and use drippings from pan to make delicious gravy.
(If you want to make up to a 15 pound bird, see our extender ring.)

FROZEN ROAST BEEF (4 pounds)
Buying a roast beef (or 2) on sale and freezing it for later saves time and money. Just take it out and, and under 2 hours, you can have a delightful surprise for the family.
Rinse the beef in cold water so any dry seasonings may adhere. Place roast on 1" rack, top side down. Nu-Wave on HI for 50 minutes. Turn over, top side up, and continue another 50 minutes (RARE) or more depending on your taste. Let sit 15 minutes and enjoy!

What are some cheap and healthy cuts of beef and pork? Please also suggest yummy, easy recipes for them.?
Q. Hi! I am seeking lean, economic cuts of beef and pork I can either broil, bake or sautée for dinner and tasty, relatively easy, pocket-book friendly recipes for them. I actually like marinating, I just don't want to spend hours waiting for something to be cooked. My husband is trying to lose some weight, so healthy recipes are required. Thanks in advance.
A. There are a few cuts of beef that I prefer to buy, even when they aren't on sale (or cheap):
Chuck roast. Brown each side well in a tiny bit of oil in a 5qt pot, then just barely cover with water, add 1/2 onion (you can leave it whole), and a clove of garlic, peeled. Pour in a TBSP of salt, and a little black pepper, cover, and simmer over low heat for about 2 hours, turning once halfway through cooking. (If you like pot roast, during the last half hour of cooking, you can add some cleaned carrots and potatoes and maybe a chopped tomato or fresh green beans to the pot.)Leave covered, and let cool completely. Shred the meat to use in burritos.
Brisket....brown well on both sides, then put in a large baking pan, pour in hot water or beef stock halfway up the side of the meat, add onion and garlic and salt and pepper, then bake in the oven for 3 hours, covered tightly, turning once after 1.5 hours. Slice and eat. I use the leftover sliced meat for sandwiches with barbecue sauce, au jus, or with typical hoagie condiments. The meat has great flavor, and it'll be eaten up fast...even if you make a lot.
We also buy pork loin (NOT tenderloin) when it goes on sale. You can get a huge 10 pound loin for less than $2 per pound. I cut it into 3# roasts, then freeze them.
The beef brisket is the same way. We just bought 15 pounds of brisket at $1.35 per pound. We cut it into 5# slabs.
Chuck roast is often under $2 per pound, but is usually on sale for about $2.50/lb. Arm roast can be cooked the same way and shredded. The shreds are finer, but tougher.
We love to make ham taquitos, so we also buy whole smoked hams when they go on sale for under $1.50 per pound.
I know you didn't mention lamb, but we also buy entire legs of lamb in the spring when they are discounted, at under $5.50 per pound. I have never seen it cheaper than that. (I make lamb curry and freeze it...it is my favorite dish, and lamb is a luxury at our house....we also grind part of it to make homemade gyro meat.
Of course, buy ground beef whenever it is on sale. We are able to get 93% lean for under $1.50 per pound on a regular basis. You can make meatloaf, burgers, salisbury steaks, spaghetti sauce.
