Halogen Oven Cooker

anything I don't mind · 2 Aug 2013 at 14:16

My oven has just stopped working and i asked my landlord to replace it. He has come back and suggested that a Halogen Oven Cooker. He says that he uses one at home and its far better. I've never even heard of a Halogen Oven Cooker.

Here is the one he is going to buy,

Anyone use of these, are they any good. Can't see how big it is from the image, i am not sure if i could even fit a pizza in there or take one out.

But the reviews seem very good. Anyone any experience with them?

looks strange but the reviews are good. seems like something for camping though.

Yea i am quite sceptical. How would i fit a pizza in there and once its in how do you take things out, as its top loading. I know my landlord is cheap but i never knew he was this cheap :/

It's £40, which is why he's suggesting it. Ask for a proper replacement, not a fadish toy

I only have a small kitchen with two free work tops either side of the hot plates and i would lose one due to this thing.

It has some amazing reviews though, some people seem in love with it.

What happens when you want to do a roast for 4?

Landlord should replace like for like.

Some people seem to think all kitchen gadgets are amazing (especially if they make a 2 minute job take 30 seconds but then take half an hour to clean). Please don't become one of them, you will be sent to prison once my world domination plans are complete.

EDIT: But as people are saying, it's your landlord trying to be a cheapskate and dodge having to get a proper oven installed.

My mother in law has one but only for camping. They are very small though. It will no way replace a standard oven. You'd struggle to fit a decent size chicken in it for example.
