Advantages: Large glass bowl Disadvantages: Pick one!
Firstly I was very pleased with the oven, but very disapointed with the instruction manual, especially the cooking times. It really told me nothing! I think JML need to look into this and perhaps provide a cooking times chart, that actually gives you better instructions than;
Parsnips 2cm Strips and diameter @ 200oc for 36 Minutes
and Whole small onion @ 200oc 60 Minutes.
These instructions tell me nothing.
What makes more sence would be to include instructions for all veg and to include information about cooking in foil with a small amount of water (Seen in online advert only.)
Also my electric meter whilst cooking, seems to be cooking itself (Spun round like a washing machine, on its final spin!)
To cook a 1.55kg Chicken cost me 70p.
Not so economical, one of the main reasons for buying it, Oh well.
Having said ...
Advantages: good if you have a small kitchen Disadvantages: recipe book and instructions rubbish
I am quite impressed with this oven,instruction booklet not very informative and hardly any recipes.
As for cooking does oven chips very well,and fish also cooked a leg of lamb and pizza which turned out well.
Made a casserole carrots were very hard perhaps you should boil them first as recipe book is rubbish it is all just trial and error.
easy to clean one minor problem is that the power lead rests on the oven when cooking which might burn through if cooking for a long period.
I would like to add i have had this oven for only a week.
i will post more info as i go along,it is also very easy to clean,but very heavy to lift when a joint and all the trimmings are inside . ...

Ciao members have rated this review on average: somewhat helpful Review of JML Halogen Oven
Advantages: Speedy, versatile and excellent results Disadvantages: Not available in the shops
Faster than a conventional oven, 360 degree visibility without having to open a door. Amazing how much room there is, it can cook a large item of poultry and vegetables. Reduces the cooking tilme with a powerful fan assisted halogen heat. Food doesn't dry out and everything we have tried in it tastes better than a micrwave and even a conventional oven. Add to that the fact that it's rack system manages to ensure that food is never left to cook in fat and there is a self clean facility that removes any stuck on crumbs or fat. Unlike a microwave it browns food. Considering the fact that it can roast, grill and bake all for less than £50 and there is no better value kitchen appliance. Only available from JML on-line or by TV adverts. If you buy 2 you save £20 !!
Ideal for a present. ...
