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

A great slimline microwave combi oven!!

Advantages: It has a grill and convecion oven so things come out brown.
Disadvantages: None i can think of yet. Probably the amount of electric it uses.

...About a week before Christmas my parents came round for an early Christmas meal and as I was cooking in the kitchen they shut the door and sad "don't come in we are hiding your present". I was told not to go in the cupboard and not to put it under the tree on Christmas day because I would guess whet it is by the size and shape of it. That sent my brain ticking trying to think what it could be, as I have grown older I tend not to spoil surprises and kept my nose out of the cupboard, but I could not think what it could be. After all the presents had gone on Christmas day I remembered the one in the cupboard and sent my partner in to get it, it was huge and as I opened it I saw it was a microwave, just what I needed, not just any old microwave it was a combi oven. I had done nothing but swear about my cooker not being big enough...

Review of Panasonic NN-A 524 M/Mbgpg

Panasonic NE-255 Microwave

Advantages: Easy to use,well built
Disadvantages: thin glass turntable platter

...A nice clean looking finish,easy to use microwave. Setting the timer is simplicity itself with clearly marked controls and the autocook works extremely well for me.The ability to set the power levels to change during a stage cook is a superb idea. The manual is well written and after a few goes is not needed. The microwave seems very well constructed with nice stylish lines and a crisp white finish which will look good in any kitchen. The downside is a very thin plate which I am concerned will break every time it is washed,but hasn't so far because I take extra care. If you are looking for a basic well made microwave you can't go far wrong with this machine.I really am very pleased with this microwave....
