Aldi Convection Oven

Aldi have a Convection Oven for sale on Sunday 16th Jan I fancy one of these and the price is good from what I have seen.

http://www.aldi.co.uk/uk/html/offers/special_buys3_17220.htm

Has anyone got one of these from when they were selling them at another time or has anyone got a Convection Oven and can advise about getting one.

Thank you for any help :beer:

    We bought one with them last year.

    It is the same as a Halogen Oven, but they use a metal element element instead of a Halogen bulb.

    Can not fault it. You do not get the annoying bright light that you get with a Halogen.

    (Cooked lunch in it today.)
    I used to be indecisive but now I am not sure.

    Think that you can cook anything that would normally go in an oven, but for a shorter time or at a lower temperature. Here's a conversion calculator:

    Sounds like a plan :-)

    Do they really use half the energy of a normal cooker? My poor daughter loves baked potatoes and I won't put the oven on just to bake one (well, would you?!) so she ends up eating pre-frozen ones most of the time, this might well be the answer, and she could take it with her when she goes to Uni!
