Mini Oven recomendations

paganflossy

hi
I am looking to buy a mini oven as we only have a huge oven as part of 6 burner cooker so it is very uneconomical to run unless doing a lot of cooking/ baking.
We did have a Cuisinart mini stone oven which was perfect but the element died and it couldn't be repaired (full refund from Cuisinart) and we have never found a replacement.
The ones I have seen are either quite a lot smaller or have a hob on top which we don't want. We have tried a halogen but I didn't find it very good for baking or bread (and it is an awkward shape!).

Does anyone have any recommendations for decent mini ovens that don't cost the earth?

Try a halogen oven, they are excellent, my daughter in law, no longer uses her cooker at all, since she has the halogen, and the best thing about them is they clean them selves, just put water and washing up liquid into the bowl after you have finished, and switch it on, its brilliant, I have one but as I very rarely cook, mine is still in the cupboard. It can grill, roast, bake, and even casserole.

The OP has already said they've tried a halogen oven and it wasn't suitable.

imho

What about a combination microwave oven ? Panasonic are good and as its combination you can use it as a proper oven and its not much bigger than a normal microwave .Its heats up really quickly .

thanks for all the replies.
Unfortunately I didn't find the halogen suitable and my Toshiba combo microwave seems quite erratic with its results and takes ages to heat up. I will look at the Panasonic ones, thanks for the recommendation.
