im still only using my halogen oven for grilling bacon etc..despite my better judgment i did try and cook another chicken--it was horrible,(cookbook with it stated a full chicken would cook in 60=90mins at 200c),but after 60mins,the top was overdone with the skin bubbled n blistered,but when i turned it over to cook from the other side bright red fresh blood poured from it...basicaly the top was overcook but the middle +bottom was raw--again....nearly enough to put us off meat(but it fed our wee dog for almost a week...couldnt risk feeding it to family,all that raw blood spilling over cooked breast meat etc.YUCK.
sorry probably too much info:o

I've cooked chicken a number of times in my halogen and always get good results. Try cooking at 175c and turn the chicken over for 20-30 minutes to ensure it cooks evenly.

I'd say yes. I have used casseroles dishes with lids in mine, not cast iron ones though, but if it fits inside, then it should be fine. I use the lower wire rack to stand them on, but you would do that in a regular oven, so there is no difference there.

Which make did you buy? I've just bought the Mr T Flavourwave and am going to try some salmon steaks on Sunday.

There's a Thaw setting on them, so you can defrost things. Otherwise I would say that unless it specifically says it can be cooked from frozen on the packaging, you can't. It's just like a traditional oven really.

My hubby got me to buy him one for Xmas last year !! We have not even used it yet as there was not a recipe book with it ( well one with 4 recipes) !! After hearing all your good comments about it, I think we will give it a go now !!!

Hi Folks !
I've just pulled a JML Halogen Oven apart - because the mains cable was in a dangerous condition - having apparently pulled free of the cable grip.
Getting it apart was a major chore - very fiddly - but fortunately I am blessed with endless patience !!!
Inside it is VERY shoddily put together - and the cable grip, although present, hadn't actually been fitted across the cable - so the dangerous fault I went in to repair had actually been present when it left the factory.

The Halogen bulb is showing signs of 'splatter' from cooking food, so I'm wondering how long it will last.
Like many of the previous posters I'm having difficulty tracking down a replacement - I shall persist though.
It doesn't help that the JML website gives customer service email addresses that are defunct !
customer.services@jmlgroup.co.uk
seems to work - unfortunately clicking on the link on the website sends you to a different address that doesn't !

If I find a replacement, or if JML ever get back to me, I'll let you know.
