    Yes quite upset about the Pandora.
    But was glad it just gave up the ghost in the house so I have the charms.

    I like my little halogen oven - but little is the operative word, if you're used to doing traybakes, or 2 or 3 big things at once, they're not for you. If mine bust, though, I'd buy another one :)

    I love my halogen too! I did manage a full roast dinner in there last weekend. Roasted the chicken first then whilst that was resting i put a dish of stuffing mix in the bottom with a small tray of parboiled new potatoes for roasties on top. When they came out and I was plating up I chucked in a few frozen yorkies.

    Since my big oven "blew up" when we were on holiday I've been using the small oven I'd previously never used before. It's fine but very slow. Until I get a new kitchen a halogen sounds just the ticket. I never bake Karma - I don't have the patience.

    I don't do it that often, I must say - I use the hobnobs recipe on here, about once every two months. Round Christmas, I whisk up a stuffing mix .... its been like that since I've been ill - I'm certainly hoping to do more, get a few apple crumbles going now that the apples are ripening.
