Smaller Oven

Options
Heres the score, I live alone & when I make some Tea, I have to use a Big Electric Oven.

Im curious to what others do, as im thinking surely me Heating up the Big Oven and using that to Cook must be using far more Electricity/Energy than needed.

Would I be better off looking at getting a Mini Oven. Ive spotted a couple and thought it would be perfect, especially with one being around £20.

Would it be more energy efficient and cheaper for me to use the Small Oven

Lidl - Electric Grill & Oven

Moulinex Principio Mini Oven

Whats peoples opinions to if I would be better off? or if they know of any equivilents,


I have ordered something with La Redoute & hope to get this as a Free Gift anyway

    You could try a baby belling and a slow cooker. I cooked for 3 to 5 people on one of those for 3 years!!

    For 10 years I have used a Panasonic convection microwave for small amounts of baking etc, I have also used it with a hot plate for 2 years as my only oven when we lived in a small cottage and the choice was a table in the kitchen to eat at or an oven, the table won.

    It heats up quickly, cooks at a lower temerature and is econimical to run......jacket spuds weighing 1lb cook in 16 minutes and the skin is crispy. It cooks roasts, bakes and casseroles as well as microwaves........

    I have a slow cooker which I use on econ 7 at night, and a romuksa which we used to use in the caravan, but I use it occasionally of I have a very small amount to cook, although it will take a fairly large chicken as long as you take the ends of the legs off.

    I keep wondering when its going to give up but it keeps going........ I cooked out supper in it tonight, pork chops and roast spuds.

    Its worth investigating.......
