Halogen oven (OT)
I got one a while ago and it's very useful. Last night when boyfie & I
were watching the telly we heard a crash from the kitchen and now it's a gonner. I spent ages with the vacuum cleaner cleaning up from the smashed glass for Boyfie's paws. I stil don't know how it happened. I've ordered another halogen cooker from Amazon. |

I've ordered another halogen cooker from Amazon. Hopefully the gremlins (or whatever) won't get the new one. Jill |

Great for cooking chickens (1 hour) although they claim 45 mins, not enough. I like mine but they do take some getting used to. But it's worth learning IMO. Tweed |

It's a tabletop device, like a big goldfish bowl with a lid that has an electrical element with a fan that cooks your meals at less cost than a conventional electric oven. http://www.maplin.co.uk/p/compact-13...gen-oven-a16kl I chose this pic at random, this is not what I have. Just to give you an idea of what they look like. Boyfie thought it was definitely gremlins and wanted to explore round the deceased cooker. I had to put him outside to prevent paw damage while I cleaned it all up. Tweed Tweed |

I put him outside while I used the sucky monster as he really hates it, and he wasn't very keen on being put outside but sometimes a meowmie needs to do what a meowmie needs to do for Boyfie's greater good. It's been suggested that I claim on the 12 months insurance I got with it, saying the bowl cracked for no reason. I simply can't do that because I know that wasn't the case, so I've ordered a new one. How it happened, I don't know and never will. The upside is that June has the same model so I can give her the lid with the all important electrical parts in in case hers fails. The downside is I now have to stay in for days waiting for my new one to arrive. Tweed Tweed |

I do have a mobile phone but calling me on it was not an option. However my new oven has arrived today, already! Haven't used it yet but it doesn't seem the quality of my last one. I reserve judgment on it until I've used it. I'm sure it will be fine. For one or two people, a halogen oven will save a whole lot of power but you do need to experiment with it and get used to it. It's not the same as cooking in a conventional oven. Sufficient to say I wanted another one. I wouldn't recommend one for a big family, but they are excellent for one or two. Tweed |
