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...

Review of JML Halogen Oven

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

Hotpoint/Creda EW74 Double Oven

Advantages: Sleek, easy to clean, safety features
Disadvantages: none that i have found so far!

...I have owned one of these cookers for a month now and as a whole I am extremely pleased with it - range of functions, style, design, quality, easy to clean, oh and before i forget ... cooks food superbly too!!! To go into detail, it has a large capacity main fan oven with 'stay clean' liners on the sides, which basically utitlises the heat from the oven to destroy splashes of grease etc. Although this doesn't elimintate cleaning altogether, it certainly makes the job a whole lot easier. A smaller conventional oven is combined with the grill and obviously only one or the other can be used at a time. The grill has a dual control which allows you to only use one half of it if you are only cooking small amounts of food and the cooker comes complete with a grill pan with detachable handle. I have found that the grill does not need to be...

Review of Hotpoint EW74

A Very Hot Hotpoint

Advantages: Good power, plenty of space, very good timer and easy to use.
Disadvantages: Thermostat is set too high

...by 10 degrees or so.! The second problem related to the glass doors. After a few years of perfect behaviour, the handles on the oven doors became a bit slack. They could be screwed up a bit with a bit of forethought and a screwdriver. But all of a sudden, the whole assembly came apart, and the metal plate needed to be stuck back on to the glass panel. I nearly reached the conclusion that this was a flaw that was unmanageable. Superglue would not work due to the weight, the glass surface and the Hot Hotpoint Heat. A visit to local hardware stores soon demonstrated how rare it is for anyone in the universe ever to have seen or heard of a glue that can bond metal to glass and survive temperatures of 300 degrees. The only such substance I discovered was Silcoset 158 Silicone Adhesive Sealant, and this is available online or from...

Review of Hotpoint BD31 Electric Double Oven

Hotpoint Built Under Twin Cavity Double Oven

Advantages: Simple to use
Disadvantages: Fiddly to remove glass for cleaning inside door panel

...As the title suggests, trying to buy any built under twin cavity double oven to fit in place of an old one is hard enough to say, let alone buy, and trying to get a brown one to match with the rest of my kitchen was more of a 'quest' than a shopping experience!! My previous oven expired around October time, and we had been surviving on casseroles and hob cooked meals ever since! However, after 2 months of searching, I eventually found this particular oven online, through UK Domestic Appliances, priced at £259.00, including delivery. I ordered it two weeks before Christmas with some trepidation as I was uncertain as to whether it would be delivered in time for Christmas (I'd even arranged to cook the turkey at my Mum's on Christmas Eve just in case) .... but kept my fingers crossed as I was assured it would be with us in time, and was...
