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!

...thought the supplied recipe booklet was a bit of a let down. I suppose I expected a complete cookery book. I later realized that a comprehensive cooking guide is not necessary. The booklet gives you the basics and most other foods are just an extension of the basics. By that I mean you have to use a bit of common sense. The great advantage is that you are able to WATCH the cooking process. The glass bowl is lit up like a Christmas tree during the cooking process and any tendency of the food to burn is easily spotted and corrected. (Unlike the conventional oven where you insert the roasting dish and only get motivated when smoke fills the kitchen!!!) Compared with our electric oven the Halogen is far more efficient. The normal oven takes about 20 to 30 minutes to reach an operating temperature. The halogen takes about five and cooking times...

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

...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 instruction book. The first hing I noticed was that there were only very few recipe suggestions. I had expected to get cookery book with this machine. The machine is very basic where heat settings and timing are concerned. You can cook...

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

...plug it in. This table top oven can roast, bake, grill, reheat and defrost. It uses powerful halogen technology to produce infra-red light waves that heat up food quickly using the 1300w element . Natural flavour and juices are sealed in and when you use the cooking rack the fat simply drains away. Does this all sound convincing? Well it did to me - I work away often during the week and wanted something to cook meals whilst I was away that didn't necessitate using a full oven so I decided I would get one of these. I saw it first in a Sunday Times (Easylife) catalogue but after waiting for a month in turned out they hadn't got the stock and weren't expecting any for a further six weeks so I did another search and found out that a similar product was available from JML. They couldn't have been more helpful, they had one in stock...

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

...upto 250 degrees Celcius (the temperature gauge also gives the Farenheit equivelent as well), , the first option on the dial is the wash and defrost function. COOKING WITH THE HALOGEN OVEN The instruction book The instruction book is not as good as it could be. It gives a brief list of cooking times and temperatures, but it could provide far more detail. It definitely needs a more extensive cooking chart, plus details of the best rack to use to get the best results. Sadly it also doesn't explain how to calculate cooking times or adapting conventional recipes for use in the oven, so it is a bit hit and miss. I also think another useful addition would be a recipe book. Fortunately, as it is a glass bowl I can keep an eye on the food to make sure it is not over cooking (making sure that I don't stare at the Halogen lamp). I...
