General/Other Cooking

A halogen oven combines the speed of a conventional fan oven with the instant heat of halogen to cook food more efficiently. It is small enough to sit on your worktop, and large enough to feed a family of four. A very versatile piece of equipment, it does everything your normal oven would do, slightly quicker, and certainly cheaper. Halogen oven cooking is also a healthy option. For example, you use less fat than you would in a conventional oven. Although it will bake cakes and cook casseroles as well as a normal oven, where the halogen oven really excels is broiling and roasting. Food will be cooked evenly with no hot spots, baked chicken will be moist and full of flavour, and bacon will be crispy. You'll get perfect potatoes every time, whether baked, roasted, or chipped. You can grill your meat or fish on the top rack while baking your vegetables on the lower rack, resulting in fast clean up afterwards. The Halogen Oven Cookbook is a comprehensive collection of inventive and delicious recipes for every occasion, designed to harness the potential of this wonderful kitchen appliance. With tried-and-tested dishes to appeal to the whole family, you will be assured of success. Full-colour photography throughout clearly enables you to see how your completed dishes will look.
