Aldi Halogen Oven - Sunday Next €39.99

danjo-xx · 2012-01-12 20:20:47

With stand and extender for height, chrome plated racks and tongs included. This is a great product with a 12 litre capacity bowl. Some folks say you can cook a medium chicken in 1hr crispy outside n moist inside and oven chips are lovely all with no oil or fat. I wonder hmmmmmmm

i use a halogen similar to this as my main oven, i have a regular oven but a halogen is superior for doing roasts, beef,chicken, i do the breakfast in it aswell rashers etc, even eggs, cleans itself also, just set to wash cycle after putting in some water and a dash of liquid..awesome products, amazing crispy roasties

mine doesn't clean itself

it is bloody amazing though, I think i've only used my regular oven once or twice since i got it last year.
one thing the pic above doesnt say is how little power it uses, iirc it used 30-40% the amount a normal oven would use and it cooks things faster.. except baked potatos for some reason.

Hmmmmm. Tell me more. Very tempted and getting hungry reading your posts.

Do you just throw in chips or sausages or roasties or is there a tray to use?

Can you cook say a roast on the bottom level and roasties on the top?

Home made chicken gougons must be gorgeous in this?

Are you sure? Most of them you just put in some hot water with washing up liquid and turn it on for a few minutes and it loosens the grease. I find it quicker and easier to just wash it myself though.

Same here, I've had it for a year and haven't used my oven at all!

I would put the sausages on the top rack and if you're having chips then put them in on their own in the glass bowl. It's just brilliant, no pre heating required.

dfbemt wrote: »

The top rack probably wouldn't fit over a chicken but you could fit some potatoes in beside the chicken.

You can buy extension rings if you wish which will make the heating element higher so that you can do larger roasts., I don't know if they would work with the above model but most of the accessories work with all of them.

Edit:the oven in the link from theKbizzle has one of those extension rings included.

Just set it to the closest you can get to 100 degrees, bit of water from the kettle and some detergent, it'll do the job.

I also throw in cutlery and a few plates when it's on the cleaning cycle, and to think I nearly bought a small dishwasher

Snatched this up for €30 recently, already paid for itself IMO. The only problem I have with it is it's a little tricky to remove the food, nearly burnt my arm on the bowl a few times doing so. The tongs that comes with it is rubbish btw.

when it says it cooks chips. does that mean it works in the same way as the tefal actifry or just regular oven chips?

I'm very tempted to buy the actifry but its 120 where i see it.I i can get more functions for less I'd nearly buy this instead!

I notice you can put tin foil in the bottom to cut down on cleaning labour after.

So if doing chicken nuggets and chips would you put nuggets on bottom and chips on top ?

Good review

Never heard of halogen ovens before this thread, but wow, just have a look at the amount of reviews on this one in Amazon.

Bought one before Christmas in Dunnes for 29.99, included all the extras too, they still had them last week as I was seriously considering buying another one at that price as a spare. Bought it as a present, I have one myself since they first appeared, love it. I also bought one some time ago for my 80 yr old father who lives alone, he gets great use out of it and he doesnt have to bend down to the oven.

Bit bulky if you only have a kitchen countertop to store it on, I keep mine in the utility room.

17 Litre capacity cookworks one currently on sale at €41.99 in Argos

Anyone know how long the warranty is on this model?

Question fòr me now is
Aldi model - 12 litre capacity - 3 year warranty or
Argos model - 17 litre capacity - ??? warranty

Price pretty much the same. Decisions, decisions......

They are really brilliant, I said earlier that I haven't used my oven since I bought mine and I have a family of 4 so I'm cooking all the time, you can make pretty much everything in them!

Yes, they're including the extender ring. Does the one in Dunnes have one of them?

Dunnes in Kerry, two branches, reduced from €99 to initially 49.99 and further reduction to 29.99. They were still there last week, maybe all gone at this stage. Don't remember what the box looked like, had all the accessories included.

I have this one from last year, but the timer on it has never worked, which is a pity. Sadly I'd lost the receipt so never tried bringing it back. Other than the timer problem I love it. I generally just set the timer on my cooker/phone.
