Bought one this week from Aldi for £24.99 but not used it yet . Has anyone else got one and how do you rate them ?

They are great for cooking a whole chicken in - they come out lovely and juicy.

Umd and ard for a long time before getting one, brought it before christmas, love it.
Only two of us, so it saves on the big oven.
Just peeved I paid £45.00, and Aldi's is £ 20 cheaper.

Had ours for years, hardly ever use the main oven unless needs must.

Great for most things where you would otherwise waste money by turning the oven on. Leave the lid slightly ajar if you're leaving things inside for a while after cooking, or they might get soggy from the condensation.

If you can afford one, a Remoska cooker is even better.

I used one for a while when my main oven went kaput. I was very impressed with the results, even though it scared me silly to use it!

I use mine in the living room to save on heating bills

I use my halogen a lot, i even use it for baking. Great product, but some of them do seem a bit fragile.

I said on another thread my OH bought a Remoska and he likes it - my problem with it is it only has one setting -- 180c which is ok for some foods but not others.

Don't know if it's just my Halogen oven but bit disappointed if I try to cook anything on the lower rack while the top rack is pretty full.
Example. if I have 3 Pies or a pizza on top rack and spread out oven chips on bottom rack, chips don't cook at all. I thought there were supposed to be no cold spots.
Given up cooking for 3 people on it now and only cook 2 meals at most.
It's not really a cheap one either. the JML from Argos.

That's the one I have. It never occurred to me to try to cook things on two different levels at once. Are they supposed to be able to do that?
