The Halogen oven is wonderful in the summer months - Ive avoided putting on the kitchen oven because this is PERFECT for those items that need browning.

The directions are sparse, but the item is just like any other appliance - you must figure out how to use it with your needs.

My first project - a bunt cake on Saturday. I didnt use the 3 extender and the top was crispy brown and the bottom was raw. I should have made two layers - and used the 3 extender to avoid the overbrowning and increased the cooking time.

Second project -Browning corn chips on a Hot Sunday - the chips were perfectly warmed and crisped in three minutes. Excellent

Third project -Cooking breaded chicken breasts. I microwaved the frozen chicken breasts for four minutes, stuck in the chicken into the oven for 12 minutes on each side and had perfectly cooked chicken without heating up the house.

This oven is great for pizza, oven fries, anything that you would normally have to heat up an oven. It does take some tweaking, but being able to bake cookies on a hot summer day is going to be wonderful. This will also be helpful in the winter with tailgate parties and using the oven to make cocktail franks and other snacks off the generator.

I received this oven in December and since then Ive cooked a 13-lb. stuffed turkey, salmon fillets, a 4-lb. chicken, a casserole of stuffing, a lemon pie, peanut butter cookies, fajita vegetables, sliced sweet potatoes, and a frozen pizza. It took some trial and error but I think this will work well for me. What I like most about it is its pristine appearance and how easily it cleans up after use and then stores away out of sight. I like the fact that the timer alerts me when its through cooking and I can watch the progress myself through the clear plastic container. I like that it requires no preheating and doesnt heat up the kitchen. I like that I can pause and interrupt the cooking to adjust the dish or add sauce or seasoning and then reset it to a new cooking time or temperature. Im even becoming competent at using it to reheat coffee or my cold dinner. Its important to keep the food the correct distance from the heat source, or utilize aluminum foil to slow down the browning process or to allow food to steam through. I think this is a keeper for me as I continue to experiment with it.

I just received this oven for Christmas, and Ive already used it three times with excellent results! I cooked an 8 pound ham in under an hour, and it was the juiciest ham I have ever made. I also cooked Italian Sausage from frozen, as well as a 2 pound London Broil from frozen - both in under 30 minutes. It really does work as well as they say. This is my favorite kitchen gadget :)
