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

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: 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: 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: 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

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....

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

...BACKGROUND INFORMATION My mum bought the JML Halogen Oven after our main oven decided to give up the ghost. We'd seen infomercials about the Halogen Oven and it was something we were thinking of getting at some point. I liked the idea of having a counter top oven, and something that would cook food quickly but retained flavour. We did look at a similar product, but it was out of our price range. HOW MY MUM BOUGHT THE PRODUCT IMy mum bought her Halogen Oven over the phone, but you can also order it online from the JML website at www.jmldirect.com, and by Mail Order. The Halogen Oven cost £59.99 and the delivery charge was £4.95. My mum ordered the oven on a Tuesday evening, and the oven was delivered on the Friday. WHO IS JML? JML (or John Mills Ltd) has been trading for around 40 years. The company operates...

Review of JML Halogen Oven

Fine for one person

Advantages: Takes up very little space, does its job
Disadvantages: White surfaces - impractical, light always on

...Although I've just moved into a three-bedroomed house, it is one of those old Victorian terraces with a tiny kitchen and bathroom added on at the back as an afterthought. This is fine for me because I live alone. I was disappointed, however, to find that the kitchen didn't come with an oven (it's a rented property) and that there wasn't really room for one, not if I wanted a freezer and fridge as well. A mini oven seemed to be an ideal solution; I had one in my previous property and always found it to be very reliable and definitely big enough for one person. Why this model? To be honest, when it comes to mini ovens with hobs on the top, there is not a great deal of choice. Much searching on the Internet came up with three real possibilities in my price range; one was this one, one by Bush and another by Cookworks. Having had...

Review of Russell Hobbs Mini Oven 13824

A new-look oven ,with no scrubbing involved!

Advantages: Effortless cleaning, great results
Disadvantages: None

...A friend of mine recently recommended this product to me, saying it worked a treat on her oven, leaving the shelves gleaming. I have tried other oven cleaners before, and always find you have to scrub and scrub, so I was not convinced this product would actually be as good as she said it was. Oven Pride is not cheap. I paid just over £4.00 at Morrisons, having decided I would give it a go. "It better work" I was muttering to myself after parting with my cash. It comes in an orange box with the words "Caution: This product actually works!" written on the top. Inside the box you get a 500ml bottle of cleaning gel, a plastic rack cleaning bag and disposable gloves. The information on the box tells you it is suitable for use on all alkali resistant surfaces such as stainless steel and enamels. It can also be used on tempered glass, grills...
