It’s an oven powered by halogen light that generates heat which combines with high air flow to cook. So today I decided to try baking a cake with halogen power
I am looking forward to trying baking in the oven, the roast beef was excellent beautifully browned but still juicy and moist, the roast potatoes crispy and tasty, given the level of interest in the oven at the recent cake club a few of my friends will also be splashing out on an oven soon too
A square tin would have been better but the ones I have do not fit in my halogenoven. I saw a recipe for a Sugar and Dairy free date nectar and banana cake on Mummy Mishap's blog on a linky that I felt I had to try
I have broken the halogen heater out of storage though, if I take my glasses off and squint I can half convince myself that the glow is from a roaring fire…
Halogenovens make the best Boli. Your traditional oven has got nothing on this method. The best chocolate cupcakes I have ever had, and that’s rich coming from a self-professed hater of chocolate cakes
I've adjusted cooking times to suit the halogenoven and used the low rack. It did rise slightly in the middle, but I patted this down on removing from the oven and it did not crack the base
Although one of the pros of using a halogenoven is cutting down on cooking time, I find that it’s not always the best thing to do in order to get the best baking results
I used fresh sweet chestnuts and roasted them quickly on the top shelf of my halogenoven. You could put them in your jalousie raw, but I wanted faster cooking time and something that could be shoved in the oven after work the next day
