    4 Stars Quick and tasty food Review with images 17/07/2009
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Quick cooking times , tasty food, saves energy, convenient

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Needs a better instruction book and a recipe book, no lid holder

    BACKGROUND INFORMATION My mum bought the JML Halogen Oven after our main oven decided to give up the ghost. We'd seen infomercials about the Halogen Oven and it was something we were thinking of getting at some point. I liked the idea of having a counter top oven, and something that would cook food quickly but retained flavour. We did look at a similar product, but it was out of our price range. HOW MY MUM BOUGHT THE PRODUCT My mum bought her Halogen Oven over the phone, but you can also order it online from the JML website at www.jmldirect.com, and by Mail Order. The Halogen Oven cost £59.99 ... more

    4 Stars Mini-oven for fast, tasty food 07/02/2007
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Cooks faster than a traditional oven, uses less power

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Not as quite as fast as a microwave

    To quote Monty Python - "and now for something completely different ....." Introducing the JML Halogen Mini-Oven - this is a compact table top unit which is ideal for cooking entire meals faster than a conventional oven and using less power. How do they manage to do that you may well wonder and hopefully, in the course of this review, I will be able to explain it to you. Try to forget about those awful JML adverts for a moment - they may well irritate (they do as far as I am concerned) - but the company behind them, John Mills Ltd has over 40 years experience in bringing innovative products to ... more

    5 Stars Cooking The Dinner With A Lightbulb 12/12/2008
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Fast, efficient, clean

    Disadvantages Disadvantages gets hot

    I have wanted to buy a halogen tabletop cooker for a while now. I did buy a cheaper version some months ago but within a month it stopped working and I got a full refund from the manufacturer. So, when I saw the JML version on TV I decided to buy one. It cost me £49 which is £10 off the current full price, less a little bit for the VAT reduction. It arrived very well packed and I soon set up my gleaming new machine. The bowl stands on a heatproof stand and the unit that has the halogen bulb fits on the top of the bowl. Tongs and two racks of different heights are provided and there is an ... more

    5 Stars Say Hello To Halogen Cooking 25/06/2010
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Fast, Easy, Economic And Washes Itself!

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Due To The Shape It Can Be Hard To Fit In Some Trays And Pots.

    I have bought quite a few products from JML and after my oven broke I decided to try the halogen oven that I had seen while looking at the shopping channels on TV. I had seen it quite a few times and really fancied trying it but I did not want to pay out the £60 but then my oven went to the scrap pile in the sky and I ordered the Halogen oven. =What Is It= The halogen oven is round in shape with a glass bowl which stands on a white stand and the lid lifts off completely. The halogen oven cooks using infrared waves from the halogen bulb that is inside the lid. It states that it cooks 40% faster ... more

    5 Stars Perfect for solo dishes or family meals! 04/01/2009
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Roomy, cooks to perfection, cooks in half the time, self-cleans.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages So far, I can honestly say I haven't found any.

    I purchased a JML Halogen Oven just a couple of weeks ago and so far it's been perfect in every way! I've cooked meals for one person through to five people and each one has come out perfectly. It's fantastic for cooking for one, no fuss, no mess, just pop your food in, set the timer and check on it every now and then to see how its going. I can finally grill without the smoke alarms going off if a corner of whatever is under it over cooks and it makes perfect cheese on toast without needing to toast the bread, or even turn over! The self clean function is brilliant, a squirt of washing up ... more

    1 Star An Additional Oven Use A Halogen? 02/04/2012
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages Short cooking times, small electricity use.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Flimsy, unsafe, small capacity, 2 levels unusable, heavy, takes up a lot of room, self clean usele

    When I moved into my house around 8 months ago, one of the things I received as a gift from a family member was a halogen oven so as to save some money as there is only myself and my son when using the oven it can sometimes be a waste for the amount I'm cooking. *~* Price And Availability *~* I have seen these in Instore or Poundstretcher (it seems to be forever switching between the 2) for £30 for a smaller size and up to £70 for a larger size. I am also aware that these are available from some shopping channels but personally I haven't came across them, as I say this was a gift so I am ... more

    5 Stars JML Halogen Oven - A brilliant idea for easy cook meals 09/03/2012
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Great for all types of cooking

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Only cooks for 60 minutes at a time

    =JML Halogen= I am sure over the years I have had a wide range of kitchen gadgets, some have been one time wonders, other have been brilliant and worth their weight in gold, and I am pleased to this is worth the weight in gold. =Why did I buy this= Although we do have a main cooker, I have mobility difficulties, and have to plan in advance if I need something putting in the oven, and then have someone to check the oven, so I decided to invest in this cooker, I had some Amazon vouchers, and only had to put £25 towards it, which it made it very attractive in price. =What Can I cook= At first I ... more

    5 Stars The JML Halogen Oven - My Review. 04/09/2009
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Economy, ease of use, short cooking times, perfect results

    Disadvantages Disadvantages I would like to see a stand for the lid. Finding a place to lay a hot lid can be tricky!

    I bought the oven with some trepidation. I'd seen it being demonstrated on one of the TV Shopping Channels and was impressed. It arrived very quickly and after a brief look through the instruction booklet, decided to give it a try. My wife sifted through the 'fridge and we settled for a couple of chicken thighs. We placed the portions on the metal grid inside the glass bowl, fitted the lid, set the temperature to about 200 degrees, the timer for 30 minutes and closed the safety handle. Result? perfectly cooked chicken! And that was the start of our love affair with the halogen oven. Since that ... more

    1 Star Halogen Oven 24/10/2008
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages Don't know as did not work

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Does not work and Customer Services are not good.

    Firstly, I would not buy from this company ever again had such a nightmare I can tell you. 1. Ordered the oven. Asked and paid for next day delivery. which was to be delivered on the Wednesday. 2. Did not receive oven until 8.30pm on the Friday evening. Which if we were pensioners I would advise not to open the door after 6pm so this was not good at all. Did give me a refund though on delivery charges and a hamper of 4 goods. 3. The hamper did not arrive until a week later - no packing inside the box, goods were just rolling around in it. Also there was no proper label on or postal code. 4 ... more

    5 Stars Easy to use and clean and cooks decent meals. Ticks the boxes. 08/06/2009
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Easy, clean, simple to use and well built.

    Disadvantages 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, reheated and defrosted with perfectly fine results on numerous occasions. The instruction manual is easy to follow and accurate. It is built sturdily ... more
