    it looks really cute and its a great price... i think it is just an oven though so a frozen ready meal would probably take about 40 mins to cook (plus preheating time) rather than a few mins in microwave so you'd need to plan ahead for your lunch...

    would be good for pizzas or pasties or chips anything you want to brown or crisp up ...

    My mum works in a school and takes small groups for cooking lessons but the school doesn't have a home ecomomics room. She uses two of these instead. Avoid trying to cook things like cakes in them but for pizzas, heating up soup or ready meals usually fine.

    A friend has been using one for a while because he thought it would be cheaper than using the big oven (cooking just for one) BUT it made no difference to his bill and took just as long to cook anything, so he has relegated it to the garage. Although it is cheap to buy, I am not sure you would gain anything by buying it. Personally I would stick with the microwave.

    Hiya

    We have one of these which we take camping with us, does heat up really quickly.
    Jacket potatoes you could do in the microwave then crisp them up in the oven.It has a toasting bit aswell so you could have cheese on toast etc...
    I do wedges in mine coz the kids love them with dips.
