Halogen Oven, Great for SW!

[jodidi]

Bought a new halogen oven as until we put our new kitchen in, our present oven is rubbish. Anyway its great because you can put chicken etc in the bottom on a rack and all the fat drips out instead of settling around the chicken! I did a whole chicken in it the other day and loads of fat came out. Normally I'd do it in a roasting dish and drain the fat out part way through cooking and then at the end. It cooks things alot quicker and evenly too. I our big oven SW chips were taking a ridiculous amount of time to cook and even then they weren't done properly. In the new oven you have to make sure that you don't over cook them it does it that fast, lol!

Sorry I posted this in the wrong section. I genuinely was not sure whether to post it here or the general section. In the end I went for the general section and was wrong. Sorry.

I absolutely adore my one, wouldn't be without it. Dinner can be done in next to no time. I microwave a couple of Jacket Spuds to get them started then pop them in the bottom of the Halogen with some chopped up peppers, mushrooms and onions and then grill a couple of steaks or pork loin chops on the top rack or I will roast root veg in the bottom whilst cooking a joint at the weekends. It is a very clean way of cooking and the meat is always so juicy.

If you got jackets in the bottom do you grill your steaks on top straight on the rack?

What about the fat and juices that drip down?

I really fancied one of these, Ideal World was doing a really good one but when I read the reviews they said the bulbs went and then they had to buy a new one. So Ive been hanging on will prob get one though.

Aldi had one a wee while back and I dithered as our oven is really on its last legs right now...

They really are worth it, I've only used my normal oven once since getting it and that was only be aide we had friends for tea! Whole chickens are lovely and juicy and the fat drips to the bottom as it sits on a rack!
