I was, as always, concerned when buying something by mail order without being able to try it. I need not have worried. This is one of the best buys I have ever made. It works superbly. Everything I have cooked in it turns out perfectly. Last night we had roast chicken and roast potatoes all cooked together in the Halogen oven, with gravy from the juices collected in the bottom and it was as superbly cooked as you would get in the best restaurant.
I cook proper home-made hamburgers at will now where before my wife virtually banned them because of the smoke and smell in the kitchen if grilled and the cleaning afterwards if cooked in the oven. Now I just put one in the Halogen oven, cook it to perfection and let it self-clean - no smell, no smoke, no washing up, no fuss. Wonderful!
I have cooked many things at different levels of complexity and always they came out perfectly. You have to start on known things and watch through the glass now and then to see how they are getting on, but very quickly you understand and from then on you have no problem. If you start by setting the timer to less than you think required, it will stop as set and so you simply cannot overcook. Take a look when it 'pings' and stops cooking and set for the required extra time and you will be perfect every time. Very soon you will get it right from the start. The recipe book you get, though pretty small with few recipes nevertheless gives you a pretty wide range of things which cover most eventualities, so you can adapt straight from them and will not be far out. Anyway, any recipe for a fan-oven will be fairly accurate, though you will need less time. You will soon learn the difference and from then on you can use the time given for a normal fan oven reduced by the amount you have learned from experience. Then it is all plain sailing.
I am not putting in negatives since there are none as far as I am concerned.
I cannot recommend this oven too highly
