JML Halogen Oven?

[mrs.chappie]

Has anyone got one of these? Can you roast a joint in it?

And do you think it was a good buy?

TIA.x

Oooooooh, it's deja vu all over again!

I answered this question (with links to loads of reviews) last night ;-)

Hey thanks Chris, for putting all those links up. They make interesting reading.

I like the sound of it, but Paul's not convinced it'll be a good buy. Don't know whether to get one or not.

Have you got a microwave?

I bet you have, and like me, hardly use it. If that's the case, get a good microwave cook book out of the library and try a few recipes.

Hi Ethel!

I love my microwave � use it every day. I cook most of my vegetables in it, cook a very nice ratatouille, cauliflower cheese, cheese souffl�, vegetable soup, scrambled eggs, rice pudding, make my coffee (two minutes and it�s the right temperature for me to drink straight away), hot-chocolate, and re-heat all sorts.

I�m not keen on a microwaved jacket potato though � somehow the taste just isn�t there for me. Mind you, I pre-cook my jacket spuds for a short while in the microwave, just to start them off, and then put them in the ordinary oven.

What I can�t cook successfully in it, is a roast. I get a �steamed� effect. Trial and error is the key with microwave cooking, and I have experimented, but I think that due to the nature of the cooking, I�m never gonna get a �roast� taste.

I�ve had a good run for my money with my microwave - it�s over twenty years old. Still going strong, except for the internal bulb. It�s only a 600 watt model though, and that was powerful when I bought it.

I'm impressed. I only use my microwave for softening butter in the winter.

:)

Oh yes Eth, I forgot about that one - I sometimes soften my butter in the microwave.

At Christmas, Paul makes home-made chocolates, and he melts his chocolate in it.

And occasionally I defrost food in it, although I prefer to defrost naturally.
