I have one and you can take it from my cold dead hands. It's so good that when looking at a new cooker , we have already decided we don't need a second oven.I've just bought one of these - £30 in Aldi - a large glass container with a lamp on top, basically. The reason, without too much boring detail, is that I've just moved into a house that needs a new kitchen and there's no working oven here.
I didn't have that much faith that this would really work, or be a good buy even being so cheap. It's a clunking great object, and the cooking process involves a light source that would burn your retinas up if you looked at it directly. It floodlights the kitchen a treat when it's going. But it's just roasted a chicken with potatoes and vegetables (apart from the green ones I wanted to steam) in just under an hour, and the result was moist and sweet and ungreasy, since all I added was a spot of oil rubbed on to encourage the skin to brown. All I have to do now is wash the glass bowl - no crusty oven to clean. I'm a convert.
Anyone else got one? Any comments? Maybe when I spec the new kitchen I'll leave out the conventional oven and grill and use this instead; it would mean more cupboard space.
Oh and any tips on doing a complete new kitchen would be gratefully received - I've never done one before.
