Using both halogen and infra red heating, halogen ovens dramatically cut cooking time by up to 40% and also use less power than a conventional oven. They do everything in one pot - from boiling and roasting to toasting and baking cakes. The ovens even help with the washing up as they have a self-cleaning function. Halogen Cooking is becoming increasingly popular, with JML listing the halogen oven as their bestselling product. Part of the bestselling Hamlyn All Colour 200 series.

Maryanne Madden is a home economist and author of several halogen cookbooks which she self-publishes and sells on www.bookshoparoundthecorner.co.uk
