Halogen Oven

Advantages: Don't know as did not work
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. After receiving the oven on the Friday. The Saturday night we put a full chicken in and vegetables and it did not work - we were still cooking this chicken 5 hours later and we were starving. Had to have a frozen pizza instead...

JML Halogen Oven

Advantages: Quicker cooking
Disadvantages: The lid h

...Well after a year of using a rubbish old electric cooker that would take nearly 45 minutes to heat the oven, this halogen oven was a miracle for me. My Dad bought me one for my birthday but it lay in my room for 2 month collecting dust. One day i decided to use it for a couple of chicken kievs and they turned out amazing, Absolutely perfect cooked all the way through. I havnt used my electric cooker ever since. The halogen oven is so easy to use, 1 minute and its pre-heated. Just turn the dial to wot heat u want, set the time, fling your roast chicken in there and some vegetables and let it do the work. When the time that you set runs out the machine switches itself off and stops it from been burnt to death if you forget about it. Also you can look in to see how its getting on without letting heat out. Its alot quicker than any normal...

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 how the food at the back of a fan assisted 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...

JML Halogen Oven

Advantages: Powerful, cheap to run, watch as it cooks, timer - cannot overcook
Disadvantages: None for my purposes

...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...

The JML Halogen Oven - My Review.

Advantages: Economy, ease of use, short cooking times, perfect results
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 first day we've used it regularly. Fish steaks are particularly good as are pork chops, grilled bacon, sausages, tomatoes, roast and baked potatoes and we've even cooked (to perfection) a roast joint of pork. The crackling is great! At first I...

JML Halogen Oven 1300 watt

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....

Cooking The Dinner With A Lightbulb

Advantages: Fast, efficient, clean
Disadvantages: gets hot

...this little oven and the results are excellent. The 1300W halogen bulb cooks things superfast but it is easy to keep an eye on them through the glass. There is a lot of heat from this unit while it is cooking and the glass gets very hot, so extra care is needed if you have kids around. The whole thing lights up with a bright orange glow as soon as you push the handle down to start it off. (Not good on a hot day). It switches on and off during cooking to maintain the correct temperature. The JML Halogen Oven is available from JML (John Mills Ltd) and can be purchased via their TV Channel, online, or in stores that stock JML Goods. My favourite function is the 'wash' because it keeps the unit looking sparkling clean without much effort and I like the 'thaw' facility. Things like chicken breasts and sausages thaw much better than they...

Review of JML Halogen Oven

Mini-oven for fast, tasty food

Advantages: Cooks faster than a traditional oven, uses less power
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 the marketplace to try to make everyday life that much easier. I haven't really bought their products before but although they aren't the only supplier of this type of product (Easylife have a cheaper one but it isn't in stock!) they did...

Review of JML Halogen Oven

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, reheated and defrosted with perfectly fine results on numerous occasions. 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...

Review of JML Halogen Oven

Quick and tasty food

Advantages: Quick cooking times , tasty food, saves energy, convenient
Disadvantages: Needs a better instruction book and a recipe book, no lid holder

...spares. Guarantee The JML Halogen Oven is guaranteed for one year, but you can buy an extended warranty when you purchase the oven. MY OVERALL OPINION Gripes aside, I do think the JML Halogen Oven is good value for money and produces pleasing results, and saves energy thanks to quicker cooking times and less pre-heating, and the fact you don't have to keep opening the oven to check food so you only need to open the oven to add other things that take a shorter cooking time. As I said that with some foods it is personal preference with regards to pre-heating the oven. I think it is perfect for a small family or someone living on their own, but you can also use it to cook a casserole, curry or roast dinner that will feed several people, or you could use it in conjunction with your regular oven say at Christmas to cook...
