About NutriChef

A mission born out of need
NutriChef was created on the principle that healthy home cooking should be attainable to all, regardless of skill level and economic status. Starting in 2014, we noticed the disconnect in our lives and in the lives of those around us. We were so busy, always rushing forward, and our health and personal lives suffered. We needed to find some way to slow down and put our health first, all without sacrificing convenience or taste. Could we somehow create healthier versions of our favorite foods, easily in our own kitchens? The answer was a resounding yes, and NutriChef was born.

We create products that make life a little easier and a little healthier
Our brand was created out of a desire to provide an alternative to fast food convenience and reintroduce people to home cooking. A healthy home-cooked meal is what brings families and friends together. We believe strongly in the value of simple pleasures. An evening spent cooking and sharing a meal of wholesome, nourishing foods is a memory in the making.

We believe a moment shared is priceless
Today, we have built upon our original mission and now in addition offer products that make the art of entertaining a simpler one. Entertaining and hosting family and friends are one of the great joys of life. Why waste a moment stuck in the kitchen? We offer products that free you up to socialize, while never sacrificing quality or taste.

SAFETY PRACTICES TO AVOID INJURY

When properly cared for, your oven will provide safe, reliable service for many years. However, extreme care must be taken, as the oven produces intense heat that can increase the risk of accidents.
When using this oven, follow basic practices, including but not limited to the following:

1. Do not repair or replace any part of the oven unless specifically recommended in this manual. All other service should be referred to a qualified technician.
2.  Children should not be left alone or unattended in an area where the oven is being used. Do not allow children to sit, stand, or play around the oven at any time.
3. Never let clothing or other flammables come in contact with or too close to any burner or hot surface until it has cooled. The fabric could ignite, causing serious personal injury.
4.  For personal safety, wear proper apparel. Loose-fitting garments or sleeves should never be worn while using the oven. Some synthetic fabrics are highly flammable and should not be worn while cooking.
5. Do not heat unopened food containers, as a build-up of pressure may cause the containers to burst. When lighting the burner, always pay close attention to what you are doing.
6. When using the oven, do not touch the outer shell, stone baking board, or immediate surroundings, as these areas become extremely hot and could cause burns.
7. Do not use the oven to cook extremely fatty meats or other products that may increase flare-ups.
8. Keep the area surrounding the oven free from combustible materials, including fluids, trash, and vapors such as gasoline or charcoal lighter fluid.
9. Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air.
10. Never use the oven in extremely windy conditions.
