Self cleaning halogen oven


One of the great things about halogen ovens is the fact that they are easy to clean.

Most halogen ovens have a "Clean" setting. You just put a little water and detergent into the base of the bowl and then set the timer - 10 minutes is usually enough, but you can set it for longer if you've got something baked on - and away it goes, just like the video above.

If you prefer, you can just take the bowl out and put it into the dishwasher, or even just wash it in the sink. Keeping your halogen oven clean is simple - it's just one more benefit of halogen ovens.

It's a great demonstration of just how versatile halogen ovens are. Watch how he gets the meat perfectly cooked and with a lovely brown color. Try doing that with a microwave oven!

It's also a good way to show how, when you cook steak in a halogen oven, you don't even need to thaw it out. These ovens really are quick, easy and healthy. Not really sure what I did before I got mine!


The Amazing Halogen Oven


This short "advertorial" shows you just how you can save time, energy and money with a halogen oven - all whilst getting healthy food with no need to add fat or oil during cooking.

Halogen ovens are much more versatile than microwaves - you can cook anything in them that you would normally cook in a traditional oven. You don't even need to worry about putting foil containers in!

Most ovens are supplied with all of the halogen oven accessories you need. A couple of trays, a high and low rack, extender ring and tongs are the norm. Many ovens even come with their own little recipe book, which will be enough to get you started - although you may want to broaden your scope later.

Be sure to use the tongs to take things out once the oven is hot - I do know people who have burnt their hands or wrists by trying to lift their food out just using a dishcloth. The compact size means that there isn't much room around the side of most dishes - so use the tongs and avoid burning yourself.
