Welcome to The Halogen Cookbook website
Now, I don’t know about you, but the only Halogen I had heard of, was attached to the ceiling in my bathroom, and though they do get very hot it would be difficult (and messy) trying to cook on them…
Well to start with it’s a compact table top cooker which cooks food quickly and is healthier than traditional cooking methods. It uses powerful halogen technology to produce infra-red light waves that heat up food quickly. Basically it’s a huge glass container with a heating element built into the lid and fan that distributes heat quickly and evenly throughout the oven.
They come with a couple of removable cooking racks so that any fat produced simply drains away, making meat products healthier. Its abit like a George Foreman but you can bake in it and do baked potatoes etc…
The JML Halogen Oven even has a self-cleaning function and a thaw option which makes it a really versatile gadget. It’s easy to carry and you can watch the food as it cooks.
There are lots of manufacturers of Halogen ovens, but here in the UK the main one is JML.
The cookbook and recipes you’ll find here are not specific to any one particular Halogen Oven, they’ll work with any oven (though I’d suggest always refering to the manufacturers instructions to be on the safe side).
We’ve now got two cookbooks specifically for cooking with halogen ovens (any type), which can be downloaded here.
Happy cooking
