However, the separate lid can be awkward to handle when hot, and it may take some practice to master cooking times. Overall, the LIVIVO 17L Halogen Oven Cooker is a great addition to any kitchen, especially for those looking for efficient cooking and easy maintenance. The Sync Finish function will control cook times, so that both compartment finish cooking at the same time.

I no longer need to preheat or defrost my food, as the device’s high temperatures and built-in fan circulate the air to create moist and savoury meals in no time. Overall, the Geepas 1400W Turbo Halogen Oven is a versatile and efficient appliance that delivers healthy, delicious family-sized meals. Beyond capacity and temperature controls, I’d also like to look for additional features that may enhance the functionality of the halogen oven.

Simply turn the dials to set the temperature and cooking time, then close the handle for perfect results every time. A high-powered 1400W halogen element acts as a heating element and with assistance from a discreet mechanical fan, moves the hot air around the food at high speed, producing the crispy outer layer loved by all. While halogen ovens can be more energy-efficient and faster than conventional ovens, they may not have the same capacity or versatility as a traditional oven.

With a 12 litre glass bowl, you will have enough room to cook anything as small as eggs or, by adding the 5L extension ring, as big as a whole turkey. However, one user noted a design fault in the removable lid, finding it difficult to use and prone to accidental burns. On the other hand, the Michael James Large Premium 17L comes with a free accessory pack, including a lid stand and mesh tray, which adds extra value to the product. The most efficient models will not only help reduce my electricity bills but also contribute to a more eco-friendly lifestyle.

Safety with the hinged lid, complete with accessories, neat design including storage position for extender ring. Moreover, the included 5L extender ring made it a breeze to accommodate larger dishes for special occasions.
