Great Christmas Present Folks!

Roast your chicken in a glass, halogen powered oven.

Where is the "break-even" point?  Let's do some math..... 1/8 the cost of conventional electric oven....
Cooks 3x faster..... you WATCH the food cook thru the glass....

What are the environmental impacts? Any health issues from halogen?



JML HALOGEN OVEN, £59.99
For my money this is the most appealing-looking model. The temperature and timing dials are easy to use. The lid fits easily on the bowl and the handle is sturdy.
But again, there's no lid stand and I had to clear a space beside the oven for a heat proof board that I could place the red hot lid on.

Also you can't turn the timing control backwards if you make a mistake as this could damage the timer. Instead, if the timer is set longer than required, you have to turn the oven off and wait for the timer to naturally count down to the time required.
The chicken cooked through in just 40 minutes but didn't crisp and looked decidedly unappetising. However, it tasted nice and moist. The vegetables were more crunchy than I would have liked and tasted boiled rather than roasted.
The pudding cooked in five minutes and tasted OK.
VERDICT: 5/10. Easy on the eye but with no lid stand it's tricky to use and the food was disappointing.
