  • I should imagine it gets quite hot, so, a bit of experimentation required. I think I would try baking whole onions and garlic in their skin. I think they would become very sweet and the garlic could be squeezed out from their skins and spread on toast or your baked spuds.
    I would be interested to know how you get on.

    Likely you could roast any sort of veg in it or cook a mini meatloaf or whatever else takes your fancy.  I'd be trialling lining it with thick slices of bread and some cheese and ham/veg in the middle - like a fat toastie.

  • Just a thought, did it come with any instructions about anything else you could cook in it or have you had a look on Youtube?
