Have finally got around to trying out my new oven. Not very adventurous - cheese scones. OH ate them and didn't complain. Will try again this weekend with a sponge cake and see what transpires. |

Scozz - I cook all food at temperatures between 150C &160C and check with a wooden skewer at regular intervals until I think it is cooked and I have never been disappointed. I have recipe books but never use them. The beauty of a Halogen Oven is that you can view the food being cooked quite clearly while you get on with other chores. I use two meat forks to lift joints out of the oven. |

I've had this gizmo over a month now (except for the week when I had to return the faulty one). |

I telephoned the company I bought the oven from, and explained the problem. |

if it is the model I am thinking of.....the button should be pressed in then the lid slides up or down.....took me a while to get the hang of it :-) |

I've used it twice now. First time for chicken thighs, potatoes & veggies. It worked fine, but I won't bother using it for the veggies again, it only takes 2 minutes to cook them in the microwave. |

i cook frozen roast spuds on an ovenproof plate, using the high ring. when cooked place on the lower ring to keep them hot. then put your frozen yorkshire puds on the high ring. for frozen cooked pies i defrost them before putting them in. if i cook a beef joint, i wrap in foil before cooking. also cook my own pie fillings, eg apple, steak, mincebeef, on the hob. make my pastry then bake in the halogen as you would in your big oven. if pie is getting to brown just cover with foil. you do have to experiment with the halogen. have cooked all sorts in mine, and its cheaper than using your big oven,. cooks a frozen pizza well, not that i live on instant food, but its cheaper to buy frozen roasters and yorkshire puds if cooking for 2. before i go, i buy part baked dinner rolls. bung them in the halogen for 10mins while you warm up your homemade soup. i hope others will add hints and tips. |

the only problem I have with it is that it is rather large and I have a very small kitchen so storage is difficult |

I have a 12ltr Halogen Oven and it is one of the best purchases I have ever made. I wish I had bought one years ago. I never use my main oven anymore |

I'm very interested in these ovens. They sound like a very good idea. |
