A Fast Oven, Which Cooks Everything

If you are interested in alternative ways of cooking food and especially in the rapidity of this process, here is a thing, which may suit your demands. It is called a halogen oven and accordingly to numerous reviews it can be a good substitute to a common one. However, let us see, whether it is true.

The Construction and Positive Features

A halogen oven is a glass bowl, which is able to bear very high temperatures (the highest one, which can be reached in such an oven, reaches 250 degrees Celsius), and a lid with an inbuilt halogen lamp, which emits the energy used for cooking food. In fact, the construction of such ovens is quite simple. The heat given by the lamp is quite powerful to get into the depth of food products, such as a beefsteak or soup cooked in a pot. Due to a fan in the lid, the heat is being forced in different directions, which allows it to wrap the products from all sides. This is enough to reduce the time necessary for cooking, and prevents from burning. So, if you need something that will roast your beef in 15 minutes, such an oven is just for you. It is possible to fry chips there, to smoke meat and fish, to cook vegetables and bake bread. Frying does not require oils, so it can be very good for those, who are on a strict diet or just do not like oily food.

What You Still Need to Bear in Mind

However, you need to be aware that your electricity bills will be some more expensive for you, as the consumption of energy to power up such a lamp may be quite considerable. In some cases this difference can be compensated on the account of the shorter time required for cooking, and you won’t see it. But if you start cooking more to explore the advantages of this oven, you can see the steady rise.
Another thing to mind is that the volume of such an oven is not very big, especially compared to an ordinary one, but on the other hand, it is the compact size that allows this device to be rather mobile. The only thing it requires – a heat-resistant environment, where you keep it during the process of cooking. Some models of such ovens can be equipped with an additional ring, which needs to be installed on the brim of the glass bowl in order to increase the volume.
