Mini Cookers

Easy to use and clean and cooks decent meals. Ticks the boxes.

Advantages: Easy, clean, simple to use and well built.
Disadvantages: Not big enough to feed a large number of people.

Now being a person that is always on the move often the hassle of a conventional oven is not attractive and in the same stroke the quality of microwave food is not that appealing so when this latest cooking gadget came on the market it naturally caught my attention. Now straight to the important stuff: It does what it claims to: I have had this item for a couple of months now and have had no problems whatsoever. I have grilled, roasted, baked, ...
...The instruction manual is easy to follow and accurate. It is built sturdily. My favourite attributes of this item: The ease of cleaning which is far easier than a conventional oven, you just fill it up with water squirt in some washing up liquid and set to wash or just do what I do most of the time and wash it up like you would a large bowl. How portable it is. I love the fact I can plug it in anywhere so I can be working on the computer or doing ...

Review of JML Halogen Oven

kath ovington

Advantages: keeps flavour locked in, and cleans itself
Disadvantages: not enough recipes or info on which rack to use

I bought my husband one of these for xmas so we only used it for the first time yesterday 29/12/08, we decided to try southern fried chicken breast straight from the freezer, being new we didn't know which rack to use so opted for the tall one we unfortunately cooked them a little too long as they browned rather quickly , however they were nice and juicey in the middle and we enjoyed the succulent taste , later on we cooked jacket potatoes we put ...
...treat . we really would like to be able to purchase an english recipe book and one that tells you which rack to use as it is really only guess work when you firat try, but needless to say we will keep plodding on and enjoy our oven, keep youre fingers crossed we don't burn anything. kath and mike ...

Review of JML MINI OVEN

Fine for one person

Advantages: Takes up very little space, does its job
Disadvantages: White surfaces - impractical, light always on

...by Cookworks. Having had a Russell Hobbs kettle that lasted for years, I decided to go for the Russell Hobbs one, and a few days later, it arrived, care of John Lewis. It cost £99.95, with free delivery, and I got £6 cash back through quidco.com. First impressions It seemed really small when I finally got it out of the box - at least smaller than my previous mini oven. However, I think this was just because I was looking at it out of context. It ...
...is large enough to fit a reasonable sized chicken in, although I doubt it would do the massive turkeys my mum usually buys for Christmas! In any case, it is perfectly big enough for me. Another thing that put me off a bit when I first saw it was the shiny door. It is designed to be see-through, which it is, but from a certain distance, it also acts as a mirror. That's not really a problem, but I did think it would probably be hard to keep clean, ...

Review of Russell Hobbs Mini Oven 13824

You can cook in this baby .

Advantages: ok for small dinners
Disadvantages: no hobb , a bit small

I noticed that this baby belling cooker has no reviews written on it and to be honest I was looking for a paid category to write in. This is the baby belling I have cooked on many times in the past. Often when we have rented an apartment on holiday we have found a baby belling as the cooking facility. I know for sure it was the option to cook our meals in the apartment in Crete a few years ago. The company Belling was originally founded by Charles ...
...baby belling cooker is no longer made but you may find it in your rented holiday apartment. There is other more recent baby belling models for sale they cost about £150- £200. The baby belling model in 1957 cost £8pounds .10 shillings /£8.50 This baby is small it is powered by electricity. There is a cable from the oven with a plug on it this you just plug into a basic socket and switch on . It is possible to move this oven by carrying it two people ...

Review of Belling BABY 620R

Delightful De'longhi tabletop cooker

Advantages: convenient for small portions
Disadvantages: hard to get hold of

The De'Longhi 0190 is a fan assisted combination oven and grill. I have owned this little gem for nearly 3 years and I picked it up off eBay for £30. The oven exterior is chrome and black with a glass drop down door. The door has a convenient, well placed handle which keeps finger marks off the glass. On each side of the oven are odd rounded protuberances and I am unsure of their purpose; they could be part of its retro styling or they could conceal ...
...grey enamel cooking trays which are very easy to keep clean as not a lot sticks to them and the stuff that does is easily released with a quick soak. There are 2 shelves and it is possible to raise or lower the position of these. There is one grid insert included to use when grilling foods such as bacon where the fat needs to run off. It is very easy to operate. On the front are 3 dials. The top dial is for the temperature and is graduated from ...
