I have a Cookworks halogen oven, the same as in the video. It' my third halogen oven since the mid '90's, and the only one I have had with digital controls. Mine is in daily use. Yes, it cooks in a glass bowl, with the food on stainless steel racks or directly in the bowl. There is No Teflon anywhere on the machine surfaces, so there is no chance of ingesting Teflon particles.
Oh! I've learnt something today. I didn't realise that's how to store the extension ring ! I'm on my 3rd halogen oven and keep trying go tell everyone how good they are 😊
@@bearsbreeches I have had one for ages and same as yourself i never knew thats how to store the extension ring! ...Mind you now we have an air fryer (on my 3rd one now) ABD THE HALOGEN OVEN IS IN THE GARAGE BUT i still love it! , one year at christmas my kitchen oven broke down and they could com out to fix it till after new year so luckily i still cooked my chrinstmas dinner in the halogen oven it was a god send tbh as otherwise we wouldnt have had our christmas dinner with the kitchen oven being out of comission!
Good Video however not helpful for me at all, just added to my confusion. I've already bought the Ninja in this video based on your previous videos, now I'm thinking I need to get a Halogen as well. 🥴
Thank you for the nice comment 👍, The Halogen is surprisingly good, and cheap, It's a handy addition to have alongside your air fryer, for those days when you want to cook that bit extra.
Thanks for the video. I'm vegetarian, fairly useless with cooking & want maximum convenience. Looking to increase veg intake by making use of frozen veg & would usually be cooking for 1-3 people. Would also use for fries & Indian pastries like samosas & occasionally pizza/enchiladas. Air fryer seems more convenient to me in terms of speed, shaking the tray halfway (compared to turning over with halogen oven) & also seasoning the veg, would you agree? And less likely to burn yourself. Can you make up for the loss of steam from the air fryer by putting a little water in the air fryer beforehand? Also, I read the Daewoo halogen oven has a self-cleaning feature, do you know if that's common/any good? Thanks for any advice :)
Thank you for the nice comment, yes I agree, one thing I have found with halogen ovens is that they don't quite crisp as well as air fryers, for instant chips would probably come out more like chip shop chips, so slightly softer whereas air fryers would be crisper, Also if you are cooking a lot of pastry I would think an air fryer would be better as again they would come out crisper in the air fryer, as far as washing they probably are the same unless you are getting an air fryer with shelves than they are harder to clean, sorry I am not sure how self cleaning would work.
@@its-review-time Ended up going for the Instant Vortex/VersaZone in the end for the price+single & dual compartments. Just wanted to say thanks, all your videos & reply here really helped a lot! Keep it up!
I have been using my halogen oven for years.. It's great.. I find that all air fryers are big shit.. I don't understand why it's so popular.. ..Sorry..
Tefal and cookworks have both recently released halogen air fryers, I have also done a comparison between the tefal halogen air fryer, and a Ninja Air Fryer, in my opinion they are just halogen ovens that have been renamed air fryers, so they sell more of them, the main difference is air fryers cook a bit quicker and they crisp things more , in my experience halogens don't cook breaded products like pizza or potatoes, like chips and roast potatoes as well as air fryers, even though they are still much better to use than a normal oven.
@@its-review-time trouble with JO is he makes everything so 'cheffy' and complicated. It might put people off. He's cooking with an airfryer that he's advertising and endorsing. Don't trust him!
Hologen every time.
👍
Does the halogen oven contain any teflon? That is a concern for me with the air fryers. It looks like the cook bowl is glass.
Yes the bowl is glass, I don't believe there is any Teflon in it,

Great video I have a halogen oven and was considering a air fryer, may now just get a smaller one❤
Thank you for the nice comment 👍
What bothers me the most on the airfreyer: plastic and non Stick coating all over the place.
Yes, you are right, long term using a halogen is definitely healthier
So the halogen is better for meats and the airfryer is better for chips
It depends how you like your food, they both cook similar times but the air fryer crisps the food more

Halogen probably more healthy being glass,
however, probably a much easier clean up with the Air fryer
👍
No! You just add some water and detergent to the bowl and set on low. Very easy to clean

That's great thank you for the compliment 😊, I hope you enjoy your air frying.
@@its-review-timeI used to put hot water and washing up liquid in the bowl and let it run a few minutes.. definitely clean coming out 😊

Yes halogen are very good 👍
My halogen says on the box its an air fryer or is it just an oven ? I wanted an air fryer and this says halogen air fryer not oven

I was cooking a whole chicken in the halogen oven 10 years ago. Jamie Oliver now getting on the bandwagon
🤣

Yes, I agree. He is only doing it for the money. He probably never uses an air fryer at home, or to cook with at any time.
Only if he can add a bottle of olive oil into it 🙈🙈🙈 @@its-review-time
