I cook just about everything in the halogen oven.

I wouldn't put the big oven on just for scones, but I make six (instead of the usual twelve). By the time they're mixed & ready to cook, the oven is hot enough... not like the big oven which takes twenty minutes to heat up.

Not good for custards! I made a lemon & lime tart.......never again! Watched the custard swirl around, it looked like a tornado in there....... and the tart had a peak in the middle when it was done. lol

I also have a smaller halogen cooker, it rotates & there's an arm that turns the food around. Really good for roast potatoes (when I've got a big piece of meat in the big halogen). It's also good for little things like spring rolls.

I am very interested-now what size for just one ? :-S

Elizabeth ~ I would suggest taking a few of your of your cake pans shopping with you, at least a round one and a loaf pan and make sure they fit in the bowl. Look at halogen ovens that have the extra ring, you'll need that for cooking cakes, or they will burn on the top.

I'm guessing you're in the UK. I'm in Oz, so best wait for other Brits to let you know what they have.

I have brought a new 12 ltr halogen oven. Testing it out at the weekend.

well done Paula. If my bulb blows up I'll definitely get another one.

Are we all invited for dinner?

lol

Of course you're welcome. Roast pork roast potatoes are the very best in the Halogen See you Sunday.



Edit As you have to travel.so far come on Saturday. <3

What make and model is it Paula. I have been thinking about buying one for a couple of years. Since my husband died I don't use the normal electric oven just for myself only if I am entertaining.

I can't find any here in Tenerife and would probably have to buy it in the UK or on line.

I will pm you TS

Thanks Paula for your lovely pm. I look forward to hearing your comments after you have tried out your new halogen oven
