Get Hip With A Halogen Oven

Preforming My Duty

I recently made my biannual visit to see my Nan the other day.  Everything went pretty much as expected in that my Nan had saved me a short list of odd jobs around the house that needed the attention of a “strapping young man”.  After I have changed one of the light bulbs in the living room I diligently made my way the curtain to reattach, well I don’t know the name of the part but it makes the curtains close when you pull the string.  

I then made my way to see what my Nan was doing in the kitchen, expecting to find another round of jobs waiting for me there too.  However, what I saw was my Nan cooking her dinner with a halogen oven.  I immediately thought that it looked extremely odd, my Nan has never owned a microwave yet here she was happily tinkering away with a halogen oven.  

Another point of note about my Nan is she does not own a computer and I am pretty certain does not know that the Internet even exists which led me to blurt out, without even thinking “where did you get that?”  As it turned out she had actually picked it up from Asda of all places, on the recommendation of my Auntie.

So Why a Halogen Oven?

My Nan then went on to sell me the benefits of the halogen oven and how much more convenient it was for her to cook for on her own for one using the halogen oven.  I must admit I was really surprised at how quick it was able to cook.  And when the food was cooked, in my Nan’s case it was a jacket potato it was crispy as what you would expect from a normal oven and much nicer than if you could cooked it in a microwave.  

I was then blow away by the fact that the halogen oven has  a self cleaning function, I couldn’t believe it as I hate the washing up.  After a bit of searching around I found that the Andrew James Halogen Oven looked to be the best halogen oven and brought that.  I am really happy with the halogen oven, the only downside that I have found is that the manual was a little lacking in cooking times, as they are so different from normal cooking times.  

But this didn’t cause me too much hassle as you can watch you food cook through the glass container until you get use to it.  One of the biggest benefits is the amount of time that you are able to save when cooking food.  In an advert that I have seen it demonstrates cooking a whole chicken in 45 minutes which is pretty impressive.

Its Healthy As Well

The halogen oven is also a healthy way to cook food, I have never added any fat to any of the foods or meals that I have cooked with my halogen oven, and when I cook meat I always use the rack as this lifts the food off of the base of the glass cooking bowl and makes it very easy to dispose of the drained off fat without consuming it.
