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...

Review of JML Halogen Oven

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...

Review of JML Halogen Oven

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...

Review of JML Halogen Oven

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...

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....

Review of JML Halogen Oven

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

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

...cooker plus a few more hints on timings. They claim it is as fast as a microwave - it isn't if you are used to microwaving small quantities but it may well cook a family meal just as quickly. How does it compare with the competition? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ There isn't really that much on the market that compares but, as I have both this and a Baby Remoska, it is relatively easy for me to compare the two. Both claim to be table top ovens ideal for cooking and baking and using less electricity than a conventional cooker. Both the JML and the Baby Remoska are the same price (£49.99) but the JML is substantially larger - to get a Remoska a similar size would cost you £79.99 for the standard and £99.99 for the Grand - so the JML wins on price. Both have heating elements in the lid but only the JML is fan assisted...

Review of JML Halogen Oven

The microwave that thinks its an oven

Advantages: Great capacity, fast, easy to clean, reliable, durable
Disadvantages: quite large in a small kitchen

..., which many aren't. 2. After three years it is still easy to clean. It has a large removable turntable which is metal I think coated with something and much more durable than glass. also lighter weight for removing. It sits really easily in the slots for it, so is not fiddly to put back. 3. A stainless steel exterior that looks good in the modern kitchen. Has stood up to the test of time in my kitchen well. The buttons are flat to the surface, so are easy to clean as well as looking nice. 4. A 900 watt microwave, plus convection oven up to 200 degrees and a grill - you can use these in combination with each other obviously; there are removable racks to assist grilling. The good points: 1. A generous interior size 2. It has two different height shelf-type trivets on legs, so you can grill something flat right up high near...

Review of Sharp R85STM S/S 900W G+oven

Big Microwave,convection and grilling oven

Advantages: could be used as the sole means of cooking in a small kitchen
Disadvantages: Too many different combinations of button presses for each operation

...When our old microwave finally died after 12 years we looked for another one that would let us cook a whole chicken . I checked out our local electrical appliance type shops but couldn't see anything of a similar size to our old microwave. Then I checked our Argos catalogue and found this one. It had everything I was looking for which essentially was the same functionality and size as our old one ,whilst it had the added benefit of being stainless steel inside and out for easy cleaning, longer good looks and no peeling paint. It also had a grilling facility and a convection oven setting which I was not really bothered about but hey they were extras. Being a microwave oven it was bound to be heavy so I looked at Argos online and found that I could order it for home delivery! For some undisclosed reason , buying it online...

Review of Delonghi DMX70 Microwave Grill AND Convectio

one wet sponge!

Advantages: see review
Disadvantages: see review

...I don?t usually get enthusiastic about a cleaning product but have just discovered one that I think is truly amazing! The product that I?m talking about is Oven pride for microwaves. What you get for your money. ************************ I first came across this product a few weeks ago in my local Waitrose. The store was having a mass clear out of cleaning products and there were lots of great reductions. I paid 99p for my pack instead of the usual £1.99. Oven Pride for Microwaves comes in a cardboard sleeve. The packaging looks very busy with lots of information. In my opinion there is a bit too much writing and too many colours, however that is only a minor criticism! The first thing I noticed was that this product contains no chemicals so will produce no nasty fumes. This for me is excellent news! On opening the pack you will...
