Halogen Oven Buyer’s Guide

Shopping for a halogen oven is much like shopping for any other appliance. You want to find one that suits your cooking styles and the set-up of your kitchen. These are the features that you will want to consider:

Dials

Does the cooker have adjustable dials? You will want to be able to change the temperature and timer on your oven quickly. If it does not come with any, you might be in for a more difficult time cooking. Newer models might come with a touch screen instead, but they are more costly.

Size

What size is best? You will need to know how much counter space you have available and consider that when shopping for your new halogen oven. These units are often not very large, but you want to be careful if you have a smaller kitchen.

Accessories

Does the order come with useful accessories? All of the items we listed come with something extra- maybe additional racks or a set of tongs. The more accessories your halogen oven comes with, the more foods you can cook.

Price

Of course, you will want to stay within the budget that you create for yourself. Ovens that have fewer features tend to cost less, while the ones that have a lot more going on have a larger price tag.

If you just need your halogen oven’s essential features, you will be looking at a cheaper product. The price will depend on what you want your machine to do.

Cooking Tips

When it comes to using a halogen oven, there are a few things you want to do to get the best experience. If you take care of your unit, it will last longer and stay efficient at cooking healthy meals for a good while.

Cleaning

You will want to make sure that you clean up the grease on the lid, even after running it through a self-cleaning cycle. If you skip this step, the fat will build up. To clean it, you simply need to use a warm washcloth on the lid.

Using Extender Rings

Your halogen oven might come with extender rings. These tools allow you to cook more food at once or cook something large that would not normally fit in the unit.

Since every halogen oven is designed a little differently, you can expect to find a guide to setting up the extender rings in the instruction manual.

Why Use a Halogen Oven

There are plenty of reasons that people prefer their halogen cooker over a traditional oven these days. The halogen oven uses infrared technology to cook food faster than a conventional oven- by up 60%! If you hate waiting for your old oven to cook your food, these gadgets are better options.

They also do not leave behind cold patches in your food as microwaves do. They are designed to heat food evenly throughout the unit, so you do not have to worry about getting a cold bite right after a warm one.

Halogen ovens can even make your food healthier. They do not require oil or fat to cook and even have features that allow them to drain unhealthy fat from your food. If you are changing to a healthier lifestyle, you may want to consider switching to one of these products.

Plus, they are safe to use even if you have small children around. Many of these cookers are designed to shut down when the handle or lid is lifted.

Halogen ovens are also usually made from glass- this makes it fun to watch the food cook! You can see the food transforming as the seconds go by. It can be entertaining to watch. You will never burn your food again since you can easily see what state it is in.

Overall, it costs less to run a halogen oven. They cook faster, so they end up using less power than a regular oven.

FAQ

We noticed that there were a lot of questions surrounding halogen ovens. We made sure to answer the ones that were popping up the most online. If you do not see your questions here, do not hesitate to reach out to us.

Can I cook directly in the bowl of a halogen oven?

Your order probably came with a few racks that you should use instead of in the bowl. The higher one allows you to cook closer to the heat, and the lower one gives your food more distance. However, you can still technically cook right in the bottom of the bowl.

Can you put foil trays in a halogen oven?

Yes, it is safe to use foil in a halogen oven. It might alter how your food cooks, although you will need to try it out for yourself and see what happens- every oven is different.

What foods can you cook in a halogen oven?

You can cook just about anything in a halogen oven. Steak, chicken, veggies, eggs, and more are all possible. Bread can even be made inside of one! Check out recipes online to find more ideas.

Are halogen ovens worth buying?

Yes, we think so. Halogen ovens use less energy during their cooking time than a standard oven because they heat and cook much faster than one. Halogen ovens can not cook as much food, although there are still sizes out there that can provide enough food at once for even large families.
