Fagor 12 Quart Halogen Oven

The Fagor halogen oven is a popular choice for many home chefs. Interestingly, it comes in black or red - there's no white option, which is somewhat unusual in the world of halogen ovens. However, if black or red goes well with your kitchen's decor, then that's just fine.

As the title implies, it has a 12 quart capacity, which should be more than enough to cook a large chicken, complete with vegetables. You can increase the capacity by fitting a stainless steel extender ring (supplied).

With the extender ring in place, there's enough room to cook a pretty big turkey - say 16 or 17 pounds. However, you would struggle to get the veg in at the same time. I doubt if that would be a problem for most people - but it's worth noting anyway.

Cheese Board And Knife Set 2014

I love a good cheese board. If you lay it out just right, they look great on the table - a centerpiece in its own right.

In fact, some of these cheese boards look great even without the cheese. I also like the ones with storage. Really handy for keeping the knives - I can never seem to find my cheese knife when I want it.
