Convection Oven Lamb Shanks & Baked Potatoes

- Just got this Lumina convection oven from ALDI - which was a bargain for only $25. This was my first attempt at using it and I was exteremely happy with the results. The cooking process was simplicity itself as all I did prior to cooking was rub some crushed garlic onto the lamb shanks.

Have had this one for many years, paid $15 at ALDI, bought two of them one to give as a gift and they are still cooking well 12 years later
well ours was sunbeam and cost $145 and I am just cooking for the first time with it. Yes you are not meant to place the lid on benchtop as it can shatter, you should've got the rack which the lid sits in with the unit
I just bought a casera convection oven (basically the same thing) yesterday upon seeing this video. IT IS AWESOME. THANK YOU for helping recommend this!
...don't forget to take veges out of freezer bag before you put in oven! You can cook both chops and veges together. Another little hint is to place a sheet of foil in the bottom, folded up the sides a bit and then a sheet of baking paper on top of that. Just put them in and mould them to the shape of the bowl. Doing this will save you a hell of a lot of cleaning as all the fats etc are caught in the little well that you have made. When it's cooled down just pull the sheets out screw up& in bin
Hello sir - thank you for 'normal cooking' no chef type food or cooking something people would only eat if there were no Turkeys on Christmas day.
I followed your demonstration easily & will be doing that myself. Lamb shanks are good 'bloke food' meaning, I can cook 2 & eat 2 - lamb is my favourite.
Been a few years since you posted, hope the Aldi machine lasted, no reason why it wouldn't.
Please don't think I was being sexist with regard to the comment of 'bloke food' - I was referring purely to greed!
Hope you doing well, best wishes.
Thanks for your comment & so glad that you enjoyed my video & you will certainly enjoy the lamb shanks. This same Aldi Convection Oven is still going strong today,. The most recent video on my channel shows it perfectly cooking a turkey. Be sure to have a look at the other clips on my channel as well. I recommend taking a look at my Mashed Potato method which is a great time saver & perfect to go with the lamb shanks. All the best, Steve.
@@Ozbullwinkle Did you get your convection oven online?
Great review Mate, thanks! Cheers, from Melbourne, VIC.
Thanks for this demo. I have just purchased one of these from Aldi and needed some sort of guidance as to how it works. Cant wait to get started.
ONE GIGANTIC PROBLEM - If you break the glass bowl YOU CANNOT GET A REPLACEMENT. You MUST buy a complete new unit.
However, if you do break one you can still use your oven by placing the metal extension ring in a large cast iron skillet and put the top on that. You can still see through the lid if you want to watch the food as it cooks.
I have the Oyama oven which is very similar. One thing I would suggest is put a non-stick round cake pan at the bottom to catch the grease and it will make clean-up so much easier. Easier to take out the pan and clean it than wrestle the huge glass bowl in the sink!
Thanks for this. It really did help!
Niyaz - No I did not need to turn the lamb shanks as the heat is fan forced and circulates around them on all sides.
Rab carn - Vegetables have a shorter cooking time than the meat so you just put in your veggies when your meat is about 30 minutes away from being cooked. A little tip for potatoes is to put a whole potato into a microwave for a few minutes then take it out and cut it into 4 pieces and into the convection oven which will shorten the cooking time for the baked potatos but I dont normally do this unless I am in a bit of a hurry.
Regards,
Steve
It all comes down to personal taste. As I mentioned in the clip I like my shanks to fall off the bone & this is achieved by slow cooking them so that they are well done. BTW the ALDI oven is not halogen it only has an electric element. Some more expensive units also have a halogen light in them as well but this model cooks just fine & I do not miss not having one.
I just bought what is obviously the same convection oven with a different brand name and a halogen light bulb heat source rather than a conventional heating element. I am sure that this one will last longer with fewer problems. I too saw this unit at Aldi's recently but had mine on order over the internet. I got mine for $30 too. Don't get suckered into a $100+ halogen oven.
I totally agree don't get suckered into one of the expensive brands.
The ALDI convection oven is top quality and I could not be happier with mine.
My same Aldi Convection Oven is still going strong today & I would have used it for hundreds of hours by now.
I used my oven 4 the first time n I cooked 6 drum stickes n I'm telling u this oven cooked so wonderful 2 many ppl that doesn't no how 2 use it should. Learn more about like look more in you tube read more about it it's not that hard if a tool n ur kitchen I love it👍❤
If you just mean that the green heat light goes on & off then yes this is completely normal & it is just the thermostat turning the electric element on & off to maintain the temperature that you have selected just like a normal wall oven does.
I have been through 3 nuwave ovens and 1 of these. It is the best cooking appliance ever. NuWave is plastic and the heat wears it out. A model like this has a great thick glass bowl.
I totally agree with you. Thank you for your comment.
Never put the lid straight onto a bench top......that is where the heat is!
Pam, my benchtop is solid marble so it is not a problem. If a benchtop material was heat sensitive then of course it would be best to put the lid onto something like a kitchen cutting board.
My kmart one came with a specialised metal stand to lean the lid/heater against safely, so off the benchtop whilst attending to the oven contents.
Just making a correction to my earlier reply Pam. My countertops are solid polished granite & not marble, my mistake, don't know what i was thinking at the time.
I have one arriving any day can't wait! Cheers from the UK 👍🙂
Hi Lynn, I'm sure you will love it. I don't use my wall oven anymore. Check out my Mashed Potato method video too, its a real winner & huge time saver. Cheers from Sydney Australia....Steve.
The problem as I see it with putting the potatoes on the lower rack under the meat on the top rack would be that all of the fats that you see in the bottom of the bowl would drip all over the potatoes which I prefer not to happen as I don't want to eat this fat. I did cook the potatoes at the same time as the lamb shanks but took them out partially cooked as they did not need the same length of overall cooking time. Thanks for your comment by the way.
I am very pleased with my Halogen oven - different make to yours, I usually cook my whole dinner together at the same time, meat, potatoes and veges. Just make the gravy separately. I am cooking most meals for two people.
Winksartist T Hi & thanks for you comment. I love my oven too & have been using it very regularly for years & its performance has been faultless. Mine is not halogen, no light bulbs, but has an electric element with fan forced convection. I hope you enjoy my other videos on my channel. May I suggest you take a look at my Mashed Potato method which is a great time saver. Merry Christmas!
I just brought a halogen oven and like it very much. Just one thing I've notice that the outlet I plug the oven in, the wall area gets really warm as the oven is cooking. Is this normal for the wall area to become very warm?.
Moose-that comment about taking veges out of bag was exactly for the people you just mentioned "blow me away". I reckon there would be some dumbies out there that would leave them in the bag. Foil and b/paper together for strength to roll up like a ball and it makes a better leak proof container. Another hint-when chops are just starting to brown, you'll see a fair bit of juice on top. Turn off oven and let rest for awhile. The juices will be absorbed back into meat, turn over and finish cookn
other cooking examples I have seen suggest that you put the potatoes, on the lower rack under the meat, on the top rack, and cook them at the same time
I got mine at aldi's for $20! Wow! what a deal. They were closing them out and i got the last one. Thanks for the demo!
im onto my second one
the old one was halogen it blew up after 6 months of daily use
the new one is same as this one with the standard element heater
just testing it out now with some fish fingers and chips
the halogen version was 1300 watts
and the standard element version is 1400 watts
from the looks of things, theres very little difference between the 2
its the fan forced heat in a small area that does the magic
2kg beef or lamb roasts moist and tender in about 2 hours :D happy days
well i beat you guys on the price , I just got mine out a skip bin at Kyogle tip for zero dollars !! the lifting handle was inside the Glass bowl as well ! It's just been sitting here till i did a search and found this clip, wanted some damper so it's cooking now as I type, the top was done in an hour using a frypan with the handle unscrewed, and now I'm cooking the bottom a tad, thx for the info I have no conventional oven here so this is an absolute bonus cheers.
just eating the chips and fish fingers now :)
crunchy and crisp on the outside and tender in the middle... cooked to perfection... about 20 minutes give or take 200 centigrade turn halfway
chicken salt and tarte sauce thats the magic
Ξυξηθθθθθθ
I've liked mine so far and I've had it a year, it is a Sharper Image one, the handle safety feature broke on it so it has to be unplugged or the timer has to run out for it to turn off. Annoying but it still works. Meat is by the best thing to cook in these, I've had mixed results with veggies and baking.
Looks great. Was given one as a gift and haven't used it.. Will definitely give it a go after seeing this.
If you mean the LED light then Yes it does. That is due to the thermostat when the element comes on & off to maintain the temperature setting that you have selected.
I place my potato on the short rack and the meat on the high rack with the exstender on so that the beautiful meat juices can drip on potatoes. Quick question: Where is your lid stand? The lid can "explode" from the contact with the cold benchtop cause it's super hot.
Yes your method sounds good too but I prefer not having the fat from meat or chicken dripping on my potatoes. Just a personal preference. Regarding the lid explosion risk I have been using this same Convection Oven instead of my wall oven for almost 10 years now with no issues. I think the stainless still ring on the outside of the lid overcomes this risk. Thanks for watching. I recommend taking a look at my Mashed Potato method video, it's a real winner & time saver.
Yes I loos the manual thank you so much
I would recommend to place foil at the bottom to make cleaning easier. That is a bargain though - paid $39 for mine from Kmart.
Aluminium is not eco friendly. Better for the 🌎 to clean the bowl
@@lilg9359 You would still need to use paper towels to clean up the excess oil.
i have one of these i got with as soon as aldi had them there hah i have cooked pizzas pies chicken breast fillet and a roast chicken so far really tender food you could never get it that tender and cooked with a normal oven or fry pan.
Would have been handy if you explain how long you cook the stuff for that you're talking about at the same time like the potatoes
(Don’t take the lid off during cooking - you lose a lot of heat) Also I wouldn’t put the lid straight down on the counter top - isn’t the hot element in the lid?
So if you don't open the lid during cooking how are you supposed to add ingredients which take less time to cook like vegetables or check on cooking progress through the use of as kitchen fork? No different to a normal household oven.
Also my benchtop is solid granite which is totally unaffected by heat no matter how hot the item is.
Michael I am no electrician but as the element in this unit it is much smaller than a wall oven so I would spect that it would use much less power. I haven't tried to cook a stew but can't see why it would not work just as well. It is after all just a fan forced oven..
Getting my third oven Friday!!!
Hi Rocky..uuumm oooohhh sorry..Bullwinkle. Got one of these at Aldi also. I only paid $24.99 for mine, you were ripped off !!! Anyway you're right, probably the buy of the century. Went back to get a couple more. Unfortunately they had sold out, is there any wonder. These ovens are a good way to save money(electricity) and time. Try some inexpensive forequarter lamb chops. Cut veges into 50mm(2"in.)chunks,put in freez/bag, poor oil&herbs roll around to coat. Cook 200deg for 25-30 mins..unreal !
If you'll put just a little water in the bottom. I promise you'll be amazed in the results.
Thanks for your comment, I will do this in future & it should also make the wash up after cooking even easier.
yes it will
They are handy 😊just bought a new one..
Have done more spuds now - see my Tandoori Roast chicken clip they definitely go really crispy on the top rack so this works for me. I'm sure you will love this gadget when you give it a whirl.
My Lumina from ALDI definitely does not have a light that lights up the cooking bowl The only lights it has are the 2 LED lights near the control knobs - one for power and the other for heat when the heating element comes on. Maybe your one is a later model than mine and they have now included a light..
No I agree with the other comment ,put the spuds underneath , the excess fat drips of anyway,& tastes lovely ...last August I got one of these for my birthday , thought it was a bullshit gimmicky thing. Being a bachelor at present ,, after watching your video I'll give it a try .. THANKS .
just to let you know that you should' not put the lid on the benchtop the way you have done as the element is very hot and could burn the benchtop, just a tip
Sue Wright Hi Sue & thanks for your comment. Placing the lid on the benchtop when it is hot is no problem as my benchtop is solid marble. I can also take a hot pan straight off my hotplate & put it on the benchtop as well. For those viewers who do not have heatproof benchtops then of course they would need to be careful & I would suggest putting the lid on a heatproof cutting board or suchlike. I hope you otherwise enjoyed the video.
Tell us what you really think! I can assure you that it tasted great and was not dry at all. It all comes down to personal taste, obviously you would cook for less time so that the meat is the way that you like it.
Witam.Proszę powiedzieć gdzie mogę dostać instrukcję po polsku?
Dostałam ten wspaniały Convection Oven i nie wiem jak go używać .
Next time get once that isn't halogen as they are too hot. You will be surprised at the difference. I've had both ties from Aldi.
Hi Diane, my one is not Halogen, it is just fan forced Convection.
My one isn't halogen.
Mine is fan forced with an electric element & not halogen.
Hola me gusta esa olla
Donde la consigo
Ha ha , good comment. Damn it when I was in Aldi a couple of weeks after buying mine they actually had a few left over that they had marked down to $19 - super bargain - looks like we were both ripped off. Like the sound of your recipe - I will give it a try,
Turbo rerna je super, ja je koristim .
I know it's nine years later but I'm about to get one of these. $44! Off eBay. Brand new. Open Box
Good stuff, I really love mine & have never got into the current air fryer fad.
This little Convection oven does it all. Try cooking a turkey like in one of my other videos in a little air fryer.
I got one from the reject shop for 20 the other 2 were around 40 or under l might get another.Cheers
Super rerna ja je koristim.
I bought one used 2 times I like it.
Now the fan doesn’t work, does anybody knows why?
Thanks for this great video and cooking idea! I like your countertops and I did know they were marble :) :)
Hi Maryanne, thank you for your comment & I am glad that you enjoyed the video. I made a mistake saying my countertops were marble, what I meant to say was that they were solid polished granite.
You are welcome and I surely did enjoy the video! I have always mixed the names marble and granite, so you are definitely not alone :)
I'm sure you will like it. Let us know how you go Cleona and what dishes you cook in it.
I lost the manual, so thanks!!
Enjoyed the video. Will buy one. Thanks.
I just bought my Lumina for $19.99 and roasted a chicken , tasets great. My question is on the power saving with this unit , how much power does it use compared to the conventional oven @200 degrees for 30 minutes.
thanks for that, I thought it might have been, but maybe you should let people know to put it on something else as a lot of people like me don't have these sort of bench tops
still luved the video
What temperature did you use for shanks and what time
quick question do these ovens have a light as well ? i see some of these ovens have a bright light, I am assuming these don't have a light because it cooks just fine so I am hoping there is no light in this model which is exactly the same as yours please let me know cheers
i just got a Singer one of these for $25 too :)
i thought the same thing, even if it doesnt work the bowl is worth that. glad to report mine seems to be working too. chicken is in right now. how long does it take for potatoes?
Potatoes take around 30 minutes or so depending on your temp. I put mine on the top rack as I don't want all the fat from the meat dripping all over them. If you microwave the potatoes first it cuts down the cooking time as by doing this they are already cooked any you o9nly need to make them golden brown in the convection oven.
Hope your chicken and potatoes were a success. Timing is a visual thing and using a kitchen fork to test things. You can speed up the cooking time for the potatoes though by microwaving them first.
It doesnt have halogen bulbs right? Most of these products have.
I want to buy but cant find a similar product like yours with no halogen.
That's right NO Halogen bulbs, mine has a full electric element. I address this query in some of my other clips & show the element clearly. Thanks for viewing, check out my Mashed Potato clip too, it's a huge time saver & so easy.
Can I bake a cake in this oven
Why is my Sunbeam taking so long to roast chicken - what am I doing wrong?
I can't help you much as I am not familiar with the Sunbeam brand. But , what I would suggest you do is set your desired temperature & put an Oven thermometer inside your bowl to see if it comes up to your selected temperature. Maybe you have a heating element or thermostat problem. I hope you enjoy the other videos on my channel & thanks for watching.
Thanks!
When we are cooking, if it burn the glass part
If you mean does the glass bowl get hot when cooking, yes it does as it is an oven. Thanks for watching my video.
I just bought one for $15 and i love it
How long and temperature to cook this? Mine seems so difficult cook😭
How long did you cook it?
My lamb shanks were awful and potato did not cook in 20 mins. The light went on off on off????
Sorry to hear that you did not get a good result Lynette. Can't understand why your lamb shanks were "awful". I season mine before cooking and also put some herbs on them like rosemary and they turn out great as shown in my video. You just need to cook them to your liking so there is no hard and fast cooking time as everyone has different preferences but I certainly like mine well cooked.
Potatoes take longer than 20 minutes though, have a look at my earlier reply about them to Anne Marie Hammond which you will find below. Once again cook them to your liking and their golden colour really sums them up.
Don't know what you mean about the light going on & off though. My oven does not have a light in the bowl as it us not convection. The only "light" that goes on and off on mine is the one on the top of the lid at the dial for the temperature which is normal and us just the thermostat turning the heating element on & off to maintain the oven temperature.
Just an edit to my lengthy reply where I am talking about the light. I should have said that mine does not gave a light in the bowl as it is not HALOGEN whereas I said Convection by mistake.
Ozbullwinkle I think it had a bit to do with the light turning on and off the whole time. However, 20 mins. to cook a potato under halogen is expensive. it takes 5 in microwave.
Lynette, as my oven is not halogen I cannot comment on your issue. But I do not know how you could cook a baked potato in a microwave in only 5 minutes, cook a potato in its jacket in 5 minutes yes but not a browned baked potato.
Say you dial in 170 degrees, when the oven gets to that temp the light goes OFF.. When the temp drops it goes back ON to show it's heating up to 170 again. Takes longer than 20 minutes to do lamb. Read the user manual. E.g 2kg chicken takes about 70 minutes at 200 degrees with a few veggies around the sides. Cooking just one potato alone is a waste of time and energy.
I dont understand is how do you make multiple ingredients in this how can I check various foods if they all cooked at same time
Hello, I just got one of these and attempted to cook a beef roast that was 3.3lbs and the instructions said I believe 25 minutes. Well, after an hour it was FAR from done and I had to throw it in the regular oven. I think for smaller stuff this works well however. Have you tried anything a bit larger?
I agree that larger thick cuts of meat take much longer in these types of ovens compared to a conventional oven. I don't do thick cuts in mine for the reason that you state above. I find that for a chicken it cooks fine whole as it is hollow but I prefer to butterfly them like the one shown in my Tandoori Chicken clip.
I never go by hard and fast rules like times to cook meat. Every piece of meat is different, some take longer than others. A simple method is to use a kitchen fork and check the colour of the juices that come out of the meat. Also if the fork goes in with little resistance you know that the meat is doe and is tender. You could also use a meat thermometer as well.
can i ask you why you didnt make use of the meat juices and fat when u did the potatoes? couldnt u have just popped your spuds underneath the meat ?
Hi Paul, Thanks for your comment. I prefer the more healthy option as I intentionally do not want the fat dripping all over my potatoes. Also if they were under the meat I suspect that they would take longer to brown. It just comes down to personal preference and I want to increase the mileage I get out of my coronary arteries :-)
Yes, you could put the fat from the meat onto the roast potatoes if you want. It just comes down to personal preference. I personally don't want to eat this fat so I like my potatoes without the fat on them.
Annabel, maybe you should get one like mine which does not have the halogen bulb. I have cooked lots of things and it is going strong. You can see my electric element if you look at my new clip for Honey Soy & Ginger chicken legs.
Also another thing , can the unit be used to cook up a stew??
how long you need temperature and time for each cooking
You have to watch it though, after a while it starts to burn through those screws that hold the perforated element cover on. These will eventually burn/corrode and the fan cover will drop off, then your temperature sll goes to rat shit and anything fatty you cook will be plastered all over the upper inside of the oven/fan and lid.
I have been using my original same Convection Oven for over 6 years on a regular basis & have not experienced this issue & I see no sign of degradation of my screws. Thanks for your comment though. As an aside please take a look at my video on my channel for making mashed potato which is an awesome method & you will never have to peel or boil potatoes ever again.
My light goes on and off. But they say thats normal. Does yours that too?
I didn't get a owner manual so I how to begin to use it. I have a whole haw frozen solid How do I cook it
Step 1 defrost it. Then use your normal wall oven as a whole ham would not fit in this convection oven.
I have the extension onv mine so the whole ham did fit in it
No, there is no light in the Aldi model.
I didn't get a owner manual with my Infra Chef. I have never used it. I don't how to even start. I have a whole ham frozen solid. can someone help
I can't comment about the brand that you have. But I didn't get a manual with mine either. My oven has an electric element that is fan forced so it is not rocket science I use it exactly like a normal wall oven. A frozen solid ham?..would you normally put this in your wall oven?
I got to work thank you and it came out pretty good I get a turkey for Thanksgiving now I know how to use it
I cooked a turkey in mine recently and it came out great. Hope yours does as well.
Very fine and easy and fast
Really for only 25 $ in 2012 ? I just bought mine 2 days ago 2016 and they said it was on sale for 99$ after the original price of 139 $ Huh !
vinny lee Did you buy yours at Aldi as well?
$49 in kmart (home brand) -2016
Mam dwa halogeny i jestem zadowolona.Nigdy mi się nie przypaliło mięso w tym urządzeniu.,
Machine ok I am on my third I wore the others out !! Good recipe book pity I cannot read it without a magnifier tiny yellow writing on white backround !!!who dreamt that up ??? Is there anything that can be done about that ?? I also wear glasses any ideas anyone I would very graceful
I didn't get a recipe book with mine and frankly I don't think that you need any as you can use recipes from any recipe book and even though the cooking times may vary having the glass bowl makes it easy to keep an eye on what you are cooking. If cooking meat of any type just use a kitchen fork to test how it is progressing.
Thanks for posting this, mine didn't come with instructions :-/
Mine didn't come with any instructions or recipes either. There is nothing mysterious about a convection oven. Just use it like you would use a normal oven or following w my videos for some hints. Enjoy.
Is it chewy
No it is very tender.
my light gose on and of with the aldi one
can i cook sausages in the oven, will they explode and if i can, do i need to prepare them in any special way Thanks in anticipation
Yes, you could certainly cook sausages in this convection oven. There is nothing mysterious about this oven as it is just an electric element with a fan to distribute the heat. If you want to release some of the fat from the sausages just prick them with a fork during cooking.
You can cook anything that you like in the convection oven that I have. It has am electric element just like a normal wall oven with a fan to distribute the heat.
Definitely! You can cook anything that you can cook in a conventional oven. If I was cooking sausages I would put some water in the bottom of the bowl to catch the fat which makes cleanup so much easier. I would also prick the sausages with a fork to let the fat escape from them as well.
Is this an air fryer
It's a fan forced Oven with an electric element. I don't have an air fryer so don't know how the two appliances differ.
Please can you tell me recipe how much for how long.
Sanja Vuković there is no recipe when baking lamb shanks, it is very simple. You just put them in the oven totally raw & as I said in the video I cooked them for 1.5 hours as I like the meat to fall off the bone. The temperature was 180 degrees Celsius which is a standard roasting temperature. The potatoes take only about 30 minutes.
Thank you! I appologize
Captain Obvious about taking it out of the the bag before cooking - us Moose are pretty smart you know but then again the comments that some people make just blow me away. I like your tip about the foil in the base of the bowl but what benefit does the baking paper on top of the foil give. I would not think it would assist with browning the meat being under it.
After all these years I've stumbled across your clip on the Lumina turbo. I noticed that you mentioned that yours doesn't have an internal light that lights up the bowl. Just to jog your memory, I bought mine from Aldi ($24.99) bout the same time as you did. You better have a look under the lid, cause mine definitely has a bright light that comes on whenever the oven is powering up to the selected temp and then goes off when the temp is reached, and then turns on again etc. etc.. It keeps doing this all the time the unit is in cooking mode, i.e. until the timer goes off. I was just thinking that maybe yours actually doesn't have a light, or possibly the globe has blown or not screwed in properly ? By the way, I don't use foil and baking paper in the bottom anymore, just the baking paper. I tear off a piece about 3" longer than the width of the bottom of the bowl, push it into the base and work in with finger nails to form the circle and excess up the sides a bit( I think you know what I mean). All the fat drips onto the b/paper and can't get away cause you've formed a little dish so to speak. Once the fat and other stuff has cooled, you just carefully lift the b/paper out, screw it up and chuck it. All I have to do occasionally is wipe the inside of the bowl with some paper towel dipped into your washing up water and squeezed out before wiping. Freaking easy man ! Forget the self cleaning gimmick, that's a load of bull. I've tried a thousand different ideas and recipes in the old turbo and 95% have been SUCCESS !!!
loutondacoast Thanks for your comment & I am glad that you have found my channel & enjoyed it. My little oven has an electric element only, it is definitely not halogen & has no bulb. I think that there were 2 different models, some were halogen & others were totally electric like mine. If you have a look at some of my other cooking videos, can't recall exactly which one it is, but I address this very issue & give a close up view of my electric element. Using the baking paper is a great method isn't it, I do this too & it makes cleanup a snack as you say. I love this little oven, never use my wall oven now & it has been going strong for over 7 years with very regular usage. Thanks again for watching. BTW be sure to check out my "Worlds Fastest Mashed Potato" clip as it's a real winner & so easy too.
@@Ozbullwinkle ....no I'm not saying mine has a halogen Globe, just a regular light globe, kinda like a microwave oven has, and only comes on when the thermo cuts in. I think they put it in there so you can see what's happening while you're cooking. Definitely not halogen ! ...and yes I have checked out your WFMP clip. I have been doing something similar, but whole potatoes simmered slowly in a saucepan, and then put through one of those Sumo Graters (James Sheeny), it leaves the skin behind, kinda the same thing, but not quite as fast. Simmering vegetables real slow in lightly salted water with a couple of dashes of brown vinegar, is much more healthy in my opinion. You should try it. Baked potatoes .. try lifting the lid slightly ajar at the last five, or ten minutes. Helps get some of the moisture out and definitely makes them a bit more crisp. Happy cooking Moose !!
Cook well
Wrong in the very first word. Think about what produces the heat - it's a halogen BULB...
No, it is you that are WRONG when commenting about my convection oven. It has a circular electric element with a fan to evenly circulate the heat and does not have any bulb at all and is certainly not halogen! I am well aware that some other makes are halogen but my one is not.
Ozbullwinkle My apologies - but this is really weird - yours looks just like one I have - in fact it looks just like every other halogen cooker I've seen - and a search on the product even customers who have it seem confused about if it's supposed to have a bulb or not:
www.productreview.com.au/p/lumina-aldi-convection-oven/2.html
It seems that there are 2 models - 1 has an Electric element like mine & the other one is Halogen. If you look at my new clip for Honey Soy & Ginger chicken legs you will see a close up of my electric element at the end of the clip.
Ozbullwinkle Ah, fair enough. They're neat little devices - love mine!
Yep, mine an element not a bulb. Absolutely love it.
Just need something to cook crusty fish and chicken, How about that? Before I buy something far more expensive. thanks
Crusty fish & chicken? If you would not expect to get the result that you are looking for from a normal wall oven then a convection oven with an electric fan forced element like mine may not be for you.
thanks
will. bake Pizza ??
Yes, check out my Banana Bread Vudeo.
