Halogen Oven

Advantages: Don't know as did not work
Disadvantages: Does not work and Customer Services are not good.

.... 5. Then sent this back. Had problems with incompetent Customer Service Advisors who spoke to me and my husband like we were not customers but that we were causing problems. Firstly we had to keep ringing up to ask when our oven was being delivered I rang about twice a day and they would not give me the DHL details which I asked for on several occasions so I could track the parcel myself. I had to speak to a supervisor and get angry to get this information which is totally wrong I believe. If I wanted this information I should have been given this. Upon speaking to DHL when I finally got the details they explained that the driver's car had broken down on that evening, OK but surely DHL should have then said to the driver to allocate someone else to deliver this on the Thursday but nothing, and we did not receive any contact...

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....

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

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

...wash them up with the rest of the dishes. The lid should be wiped with a soft damp cloth. Accessories and spares You can buy an extender ring to increase the oven's capacity for £12.99, my Mum hasn't got this yet so can't comment about it at this stage. I've also mentioned that there is now a cookbook to buy separately, I just wish it came with the oven as standard. I also hope that JML will go on to produce an accessory kit similar to that for the Flavourwave such as a browning pan and a basket (which would be handy for chips and steaming veg) I think that would enhance the oven further. You can get accessories from third parties as far as I can tell. The instruction manual doesn't say whether you can buy additional bowls or even the lid since the halogen bulb isn't user replaceable. JML may well sell these items as...

Review of JML Halogen Oven

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

Perfect for solo dishes or family meals!

Advantages: Roomy, cooks to perfection, cooks in half the time, self-cleans.
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 liquid and some water, set the time and go! A quick wipe round with a sponge and a rinse out and it's done. It takes less effort to clean the oven than it does to wash up the plates! Not many people can say that!! The JML Halogen Oven...
