As promised in my post "Microwave Oven And Cancer. The Untold Story" ( you should try and read that post if you missed it). I said someday I would give you a healthier alternative to microwave ovens yeah?
So, this one goes out to all of you, husbands, sons, and brothers who know nothing about convection ovens or microwaves, except that when you put raw or frozen food in, you wait a few minutes, hear a “ding” and delicious meal comes out; and wives, daughters and sisters who are sure there is a difference, but are too shy to ask for explanation.

I am particularly happy to inform you that there is a child of these two appliances, hybrid if you like, called The Halogen Oven.
The main characteristics of the Halogen oven is that it’s used mainly for baking and cooking. When you want something roasted, grilled, brown, caramelized and crispy, this type of oven should be your first choice. It utilizes a halogen lamp as its heating element to generated hot, dry air which is circulated by built-in fans.


This way, it produces lower temperatures and distributes heat evenly, making the process of cooking faster, compared to conventional ovens. Halogen Ovens are usually smaller than other ovens, as you can see in the picture above, therefore they take less space in your beloved kitchen.

Microwave, on the other hand, uses radio-frequency energy to heat waters and fats, which cooks food from the inside. These waves are causing molecules to vibrate which then causes the temperature to rise.

Exact term for this appliance is a microwave oven, which is funny because it is not oven at all. It is most commonly used for re-heating earlier prepared food, without having to cook it.

The good thing is using the Halogen Oven is incredibly simple so that anyone can learn it, even children. Also, it works very fast, and it consumes less electricity than other types of ovens and just about same electricity with Microwave oven.
So guys, here you have it. What are your thoughts... have you used any Halogen Oven before or you prefer to stick with your microwave? Share your thoughts in the comment box.
