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...

Mccain oven Chips are the best!

Advantages: Only 5% fat
Disadvantages: Took ages to cook

...As a family we love chips but as much as I love home made chips I really hate eating food that is deep fried. Last week while I was doing my shopping online I noticed that Tesco`s were doing an offer on McCains chips at just £1 for a 907g or 2lb bag so I decided to buy a pack. Packaging The chips I bought are oven chips, they come in a plastic orange bag. On the front is a picture of a sunflower and potates with the McCain logo and there is also like a green ribbon that tells me that there is only 5% fat and the chips are prepared in Sunflower oil and Cholestral Free. It also says on the front of the pack that per 135g serving oven cooked is *Fat 5.1g - 7% GDA *Saturates 0.5g 3% *Sugar 0.8g 1% *Salt 0.1g 2% Ingredients Potatoes & Sunflower Cooking instructions Oven - Gas Mark7 spread chips...

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...

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...

The finest oven chips I've ever eaten!

Advantages: Great taste, crisp outside, fluffy inside, such a nice product!
Disadvantages: None.

...I house sitted for my Mum recently and she left me a whole bag of these in the freezer. The chips are provided in a polythene bag which I cut open with a pair of scissors. I placed a generous portion of chips on to an oven tray and then finally seasoned them before drizzling a tad of oil over them and putting them in the oven on around 220 for 30 minutes or so. I didn't take them out until they were as golden as they appear on the packet and the smell being produced by them was fantastic and utterly mouth-watering! The chips were lovely and crisp on the outside and very fluffy on the inside and these are by far the nicest oven chips that I have ever eaten (I'm not usually a fan of oven chips at all!) I served these with white pitta breads and mayonnaise and it was the ultimate chips pitta. The chips are lovely and thick and all...

Review of Tesco Finest Chunky Oven Chips

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

...minutes to reach the 180 degrees - much faster than a conventional oven. After about 18 minutes I put the second rack into place with the chicken breast laid across it, skin side up. The chicken breast took just twelve minutes to cook to perfection, nice crispy skin and very succulent flesh it was lovely. I did have the bright idea that it might save me a bit of washing up if I put a foil tray under the roasting rack to catch the drips from the chicken - well at least it seemed like a good idea! The powerful fan within the oven picked it up and blew it around - it caught some of the drips as it was passing but loads more got splattered around! I really don't know why I bothered because the large glass bowl is actually very easy to clean anyway. What do I think? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I must say I am impressed. I have now not only used...

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....

Aunt Bessie's Oven Chips

Advantages: Crispy, quick and easy, not greasy
Disadvantages: A little unhealthy

...Aunt Bessies Crinkle Cut Chips are actually really very good. I am always a bit dubious about frozen chips but these were the only thing in Sainsburys and I was making a steak dinner for my husband so thought they would go great with it. They were only £1.69 a bag and I had tried Aunt Bessie's Yorkshire puddings before which weren't bad so in the basket they went. On the bag they are described as generously cut whole potatoes for the crispiest, crinkliest, chips every time. They were very easy to cook. You place them on a baking tray (I like to line it with tin foil so the baking tray is easier to clean) and then put them in the oven for approximately 20-25 minutes. I find 25 minutes is best if you like them with a bit of colour, if not 20 minutes is fine. When they came out of the oven I was very impressed. They were a lovely...
