Help I'm suffering from gadittosis again a good buy though and will save electricity the crumbles cooked in 10 mins. Reduced from £100.00 thank you to who ever recommended them to me a while ago.
-
I've got one and I use it all the time. It saves me heating the big oven up and you don't have to wait ages for it to get up to temperature.
-
I almost stopped using my oven because of the size of it so i can now expand my variety of meals again.

Snap. Particularly when its just the two of us here ... although given to daughter at Uni now, to hopefully cut her & flatmates' electricity bills not running an oven multiple times in the even for each individual meal, so I suppose I'll have to buy another just for us now!

Thanks. No store particularly close to me ... they have a Russell Hobbs 11L (+5L extension) 32cm diameter oven for £39.99. The one we bought was from Andrew James which has hinged lid. It is 12L (+5L extension) and came with various bits & bobs, including a spare bulb [maybe they all do] current price £55.29, so not a lot in it (and I thikn mine was On Offer at the time I originally bought it)
From memory my original decision was based on this review:

Aldi had them for £25 a few months ago, but they have probably gone by now.

Really please with this cooked several different things in it just waiting for more freezer space to make pizza bases

I like mine, which I got from Coopers of Stortford, but I don't use it often enough. Sometimes I forget to get it out until I've already put something in the big oven! DOH :(
-
We have had one for several years Gone through 3 so far they seem to be of different quality, our latest one is good and has lasted quite a while we even take in the caravan saves using the oven in there.

Just made a vegetable crumble for tomorrow perfect for fast lotty food after work.
-
l have my Mum's one, quite old but hardly used. Need to find instructions on line then find it in the cellar, but keen to give it a go.
-
Mine is very simple to use just a timer and a temp control, the button in the handle turns it off when you lift it.

Just said about this on another thread :wacko: I really must try using it but cannot get my head round it :wacko: :blush:.

I just use the temperatures given for fan ovens when I'm heating things up and its really easy to keep an eye on, being glass sided. I fasten a bit of foil on if it looks like it might be burning. Trial and error really.
-
We bought one at the start of 2014, the memsahib used it a few times and that was it. It now sits t'other end of the kitchen, now that I'm doing most of the meals I'm going to give it a go. :).
I'll have to find the book out, I make my own pasta and I'm wondering if a pasta meal would work with this method of cooking? ???
-
Use like normal fan oven it does get hotter at the top though.
-
this worked really well with the top heat. I had to substitute the marg for oil as I had run out and it worked fine.
-
Glad to hear it Rachel, what do you put in it please? Haven't made a cobbler for years!
-
I used Delia's cheese scone for the top with olive oil instead of marg.
Onions garlic sweated in olive oil then added squash, broccoli, fat babies, basil and mushrooms frozen toms and tomato puree.
