Product Description
This revolutionary oven uses Halogen and Infra Red technology combined with a fan to cook food up to 60% faster than a conventional oven. As an example a browned whole roast chicken and healthy crispy dry roast potatoes would take approximately 35 minutes from start to finish! Using less than half the electricity of a conventional oven, the hot air is circulated evenly around the oven, removing the need to even turn the food, and unlike a microwave it browns and crisps the food just like a conventional oven! Great for roasting, baking, steaming, toasting, reheating, defrosting, broiling and frying, this powerful oven is also the healthier way to cook, as fat just drains away! Supplied with 2 racks, which can be used at the same time to cook entire meals, it features a timer, safety switch, and self-cleaning function.

Customer Reviews
Pleasantly Surprised!
I have to say that I was sceptical about ordering this product after seeing the negative review. But working in mail order myself, I know that sometimes mistakes can happen but the low price made my mind up for me anyway. Let me tell you, I am glad I did order this product, because looking at the other more expensive halogen ovens advertised on here, this one has exactly the same features, but is much cheaper, so is the clear choice for me. Would recommend buying from this seller, and am very impressed with the product. They're so much easier than an actual oven, I can't believe these haven't caught on sooner, watch this space!
Very Happy Customer!
I purchased this item from this company and I have no complaints with either the product or company. I don't know what happened with the previous person that purchased this item, all i can suggest is that you try and contact them, because it must have been some sort of mix up somehow! My halogen oven arrived new and well packaged. I've used it to cook a roast chicken and potatoes in as shown in the product picture. (Havent tried cooking vergetables in it yet, did them separately this time!) The chicken was done perfectly, the potatoes needed a bit longer than the chicken, but still came out cooked to perfection around 10 minutes later. It has definately earned a permenant place on my kitchen worktop!
Not just another gadget - this is a keeper!
I wouldn't be without this now and I can't sing its praises enough.
I bought my Halogen Oven a few months ago, and I haven't used my conventional oven since.
Not only is it economical- you are only heating a small space and for a shorter time- I find it grills and cooks to perfection: it does use heat, so for anyone who is slightly uneasy about the "zapping" method, please don't let that put you off.
Cooking times ARE reduced, but not on all foods. It really is a case of getting used to the oven and its cooking speed and strength. Generally, I would say that you reduce by about 20 degrees celsius from an ordinary electric oven, and the cooking time is also reduced by up to a third of the conventional cooking time.
There are 2 levels of racks grill and roast or bake, and the "step-ladder" implement is for removing the hot racks from the pan. What IS a great advantage to cooking like this, is that you can see 360 degrees how your food is cooking. You can lift the handle to stop or interrupt the cooking at any time.
All the juices from the food fall to the bottom of the pan and are completely useable (not a dirty oven floor), so if you are cooking chicken or other meats, you don't even need to make gravy. You can make the most succulent and delicious potatoes or other vegetables by roasting meat on the low rack and putting your vegetables to soak up the gravy at the bottom. This oven also thaws and doesn't mind metal at all, so those ready-made meals can go straight in from frozen, as can any frozen food and stay in to cook normally- so, for me, it is better than a microwave and has replaced it.
On the downside, yes, it does have a bright light, just don't look at it! This light goes on and off as the temperature is reached.
I would say that you need this to be out on the worktop most of the time if you are to use it and get the best from your purchase.
I cook a lot and I use this oven most days, with backup from just the hob of my cooker. You do need to spend time getting used to the cooking times and heat, because yes, the cook book could be improved, but cooking is so easy once you've got the hang of it. The Halogen Oven is a lot easier to clean than an oven and I have never had those hard to clean brown fat spots you get with a conventional.
PS Forget the toast - use a toaster!
