Ah had to google this. I now know it is a microwave oven (I won't use one - I like my food unzapped!) with a halogen bulb (won't use one because of the high mercury hazard) to brown food. So that is something I definitely WON'T be buying!
Thankfully they don't seem to have reached Spain yet
We are still rejoicing that you can buy an electric kettle here!
cheers!

Hi perhaps I live on another planet but I've never heard of a halogen oven and why on earth would you want to "lift" it? Could google of course but that would spoil the fun of your replies!

A friend of mine has a Halogen Cooker from Alfred James got eveything with it..

She never uses he bigg cooker now as these are more economical.
She cooks buns and cakes in it..

This subject has been raised before some time ago. My niece has one and does a lot of cooking in it. It even has a self clean function.

Cant find anyone that is using a Halogen Oven.
So , do I risk buying one or not?
