Mini Cookers > Russell Hobbs Mini Cookers

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

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

JML very poor CUSTOMER RELATIONS / AFTER SALES SERVICE

Advantages: MARKETED AS ENERGY SAVING PRODUCT
Disadvantages: CUSTOMER SEVICES ONLY SEEM TO TAKE MESSAGES BUT HAVE NO POWERS.

...19TH FEB. I PURCHASED A JML HALOGEN OVEN FROM THE SKY TV CHANNEL AND IT WAS DELIVERED IN REASONABLE TIME. I USED IT ON THE SECOND DAY AFTER DELIVERY, BUT HALF-WAY THROUGH COOKING THE FIRST FOOD I PUT INTO IT, THE OVEN BROKE DOWN, AND WOULD NOT WORK AGAIN. AS THIS WAS SATURDAY AND CUSTOMER SERVICES ARE CLOSED FOR THE WEEKEND I CONTACTED THEM MONDAY MORNING. IT WAS COLLECTED THE NEXT DAY AND WAS TOLD IT WOULD BE EXCHANGED FOR A BRAND NEW OVEN. 25 ...
...I RANG CUST/SERV. WHO TOLD ME THAT THE OVENS WERE OUT OF STOCK BUT BECAUSE THERE MUST BE A HOLD UP WITH MY PAPERWORK.THEY WOULD ORDER A NEW OVEN FOR ME, WHICH WOULD TAKE A FURTHER 2 WEEKS PLUS 3 TO 5 DAYS TO DELIVER, THIS BRINGS IT UP TO AROUND 5TH APRIL. I EXPLAINED TO THEM A FRIEND OF MINE RECEIVED A NEW OVEN LAST WEEK ,BUT NOTHING COULD GET ANY PROGRESS IN MY CASE. I DO NOT BELIEVE THEY HAVE HAD NO STOCK FOR THIS LENGTH OF TIME, IN MY OPINION ...

Review of JML Halogen Oven

JML Halogen Oven

Advantages: Simple to use, perfect food every time.
Disadvantages: None

Halogen Oven. We have had the slow cooker, the microwave, the George Foreman Grill and now the HALOGEN OVEN. This is a MUST HAVE for any household serious about cooking. From the day we took it out of the box, we have used it for all of our meals. It is simplicity to use itself and all you have at the end is one glass bowl to wash/clean. Because the heat is from the top and fan circulated, all of the food gets cooked at the same rate. Notice ...
...oven cooks quicker than the food at the front. When you are cooking itmes like yorkshire puddings, you cannot open the oven to turn them around as the change in temperature makes them drop. Not so with the Halogen oven, all round cooking, perfect food every time. Cakes are larger and lighter and roast potatoes are to die for. I do not know why this piece of equipment is not more popular, but I would imagine that the marketing rights are owned by ...
