Probably a bit late to the party but I've heard great things about Acer's Aspire One and the MSI Wind, both have sterling reviews to back them and can be bought for under $300 with a 160GB hard drive and Atom processor. Here's a netbook guide that m…
All cooking technics present health risks of some sort. The question is. Is the risk factor greater than that of other methods? In the use of this device, I put my food in it. Put the lid/cooker on the bowl, Set the temp/time, turn it on and walk aw…
Since my last post I've stumbled across these articles related to the safety of halogen....any thoughts?
From Time Magazine - ".....Two scientists at the University of Genoa, Italy, noted that the rays coming from unshielded quartz-halogen lamps ca…
Welcome Chet, and in deference to Mr Miller, I did a little more investigation and seems there's a lot more going on here in a positive way w/Halogen Ovens than when Micro's first heated up the culinary stage.
BTW, at some point go and check out a S…
You definitely can go from freezer to oven to table in shorter time than conventional ovens and by and by you also have a very clear view of your food as it cooks so you don't have to open the oven to check on your food and let the heat out, increas…
Thanks for the feedback chaps.
Novavon: Slow cooker could also be an option, thanks for sharing your expertise.
Stuart: I do have a conventional oven, but with very little time on my hands with work and social commitments the fact a halogen oven c…
I have one myself and my adult son calls it an easy bake oven. It we love it. It is not a do everything cooker there are some things every professional out there knows, having the right tools for the job is a must have. I do not mean to judge others…
Sounds a lot like the industrial propaganda they handed out when Microwaves first hit,
and new technology (especially w/cuisine is always a little 'dicey' at first?).
ie. Microwaves can remove as much as 70% of vitamins from leafy greens.
Used to r…
Don't get one. Just make easy stuff in an oven. And a halogen oven does sound a bit like a microwave... And I hate microwave-food.
Hey,
Are you serious, don't you have a proper cooker? No offence but I'm 25 and I love cooking, believe it or not if you want to make nice food then you do have to use oil etc as otherwise you'll end up with dry bland cardboard type food. What is i…
I see... hm, you got me thinking too. I'm checking the pros and cons myself now.
I have no experience with these though, it'd interesting to read some comments.
Thanks for sharing

Considering a halogen oven.....
Most bachelors I know find cooking for themselves a frightful bore, so are constantly eating out which means consuming vast quantities of mercury laden sushi or a variety of other greasy junk food. I'm tired of eating rubbish that could send me to an early grave so I decided it's time to cook more healthily at home. I've considered buying a kitchen gadget called a halogen oven, anyone have an opinion about them? It could just be propaganda but they are supposed to be super healthy as you can coo… Continue

The Death of the Dollar and Spiffy Netbooks.....
The death of the dollar? I read a fascinating article in the UK's "Independent" newspaper that could have serious implications for dollar wielding geeks everywhere. It is penned by Robert Fisk and it talks about the plans to change the world's reserve currency from dollars to a basket of other currencies including gold. I also read this rather lo-fi/understated yet spiffy review of the bargain pri… Continue
