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: 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: 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: 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...

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

...it for things like oven chips, pies and other main meals I have used it for baking and it is impressive. On meats it seems to cook them throughly without drying them out at all and the fact that you can use the racks really does mean the fats drain away from the meat - just like a George Foreman grill does but this oven is much more versatile (you can't bake cakes or cook bread in a George Foreman so far as I know?) You have no problem watching your food cooking in here either because when it is heating the food is bathed in a very bright light and the clear glass makes it visible from every angle. It almost looks like a spaceship on your worktop! The timer means you don't have to worry if the phone rings when you are in the middle of cooking and you forget about it - it will switch itself off. The variable heat means it is very...

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....

Pleasant stay at the St George

Advantages: Comfortable, attractive hotel with good range of facilities
Disadvantages: Location not the best, can be chaotic in the dining room

...and gym free but spa services at extra cost, as you would expect. Small shop and hairdressers also available. Range of sitting areas around the pool, plus grassy areas and rocky areas adjacent to the sea. Animation team worked hard to encourage participation in events but were very friendly and not pushy. Nightly entertainment of the usual variable standard, but also an enjoyable quiz. Balance of guests during out stay were mainly British, but also German, French and Russian guests were staying. Dining experience was the main downside. Breakfast was generally OK but disapointed that no omlettes etc could be made to order as is usual in this class of hotel. Only "omlettes" available had been baked in the oven in trays and were some 50mm thick - more like egg custard. We did not have lunch in the hotel, but took the evening meals as we were...

Review of Hotel St. George, Paphos

St George The Patron Saint of Sainsburys

Advantages: It's by possibly the best overall brewery around, it's relatively cheap
Disadvantages: It's a mix of better Youngs beers, and the sum of the parts don;t make the whole, it's also exclusive to Sainsbury's, which means a 14 mile drive for me!

...St George ? patron saint of England. Symbol of English spirit, bravery in the face of adversity, stiff upper lip. What better personification of this great land to choose for a thoroughly English ale? And so we have Young?s St George?s. Never heard of it? No, well neither have I! Having seen this ale mentioned in the hallowed lists of ciao, I felt pangs of guilt that I hadn?t even heard of this ale. Even worse was that it was brewed by the fair hands of Young?s, whose Double Chocolate Stout, London Ale, Waggle Dance and Old Nick all feature regularly in my beer cupboard restocking (yes, I do have a cupboard just for beer!) The shame of it. Would people point and whisper behind my back if they knew I hadn?t heard of this ale? Would ciao members in their hundreds turn their backs on my ops, even those loyal few who know of my addictions...

Review of Young's St. George's Ale

worst hotel complex in malta,St Georges Hotel

Advantages: ?????
Disadvantages: food,noise,rooms,swimming pools,position in fact everything

...Our last minute "allocated on arrival" holiday was cheap. The courier told us that the St Georges Park Hotel was in a lively part of town, with easy access to the whole of the island. The entrance to the hotel was impressive but not grand, and the tired 1960s foyer suggested to us what the rest of the hotel was like. We slowly, as the lift only had two speeds (extremely slow and stop), rose to the eighth floor and trundled our luggage along the dark and dismal corridor to our apartment. I use the term advisedly because the room was fairly grim. Its cold tiled floor housed two single beds that would not have been out of place in a local homeless centre's dormitory. They were covered with bedding that I think must have been purchased when the hotel was built. It was clean but extremely thin and in need of replacement. There was a TV...
