Cook Better, and Faster Using The Halogen Tabletop Oven!

Do you ever wish that you could just snap, and cooking was easy? You know,  you were able just to pull chicken right out of the freezer, toss it in the oven, and have dinner ready in about thirty minutes? Finding tools that make my life a little easier puts a smile on my face. There is only so much time in the day to get everything done that needs to be done. Which is why I am super excited to share the Halogen Tabletop Oven with you.

Fagor America Halogen Tabletop OvenThe Halogen Tabletop Oven is a nice sized cooker that allows you to cook up meals 50% faster and 75% more energy-efficient than your traditional conventional oven. Not only does it cook faster, everything I have used it for tastes better. There is more juices, more flavor, and my taste buds just love it.It uses a powerful halogen heating and convection system, which circulates heated air nice and even around the oven. Which makes things cook faster, more evenly, and taste so good.

Using the Fagor America Halogen Tabletop Oven is easy. Just turn it on, set the timer, flip whatever your cooking, set the timer, allow to sit, and you done in about 20 minutes.  It includes everything you need to get started like:

  • Large glass body – Which is large enough to fit a 16-pound turkey in.
  • Tongs – Used to flip meats or life racks out of the oven, and perfectly life the racks out of the oven without any issues.
  • Stainless steel extender – This is a ring that adds an extra 5 quart your Halogen Ovens capacity.
  • Two stackable cooking racks – There is an upper and lower rack, which is removable, used independently, or simultaneously.
  • Non-stick pan – Used for the cook on, but also makes a great catcher for any juices that might fall into the cooker. It’s super easy to clean as well.
  • Lid support – The top is different from regular lids, but it’s what gives the Halogen Oven that excellent light that cooks so evenly.
  • Cooking Dial and Timer Dial – Use them to set the temperature and timer.
  • ETL Approved

The Halogen Tabletop Oven does it all. You can use it to steam, roast, broil, or grill. This oven is super sturdy, does the work of several appliances, and makes amazing meals.  It has a 1400W halogen heating element that helps to cook your meals and an internal fan that circulates the hot air to help cook your food faster and more evenly while sealing in all the juices. Which makes whatever you are cooking taste amazing!

Cooking chicken in the halogen ovenThis excellent Halogen Oven does some pretty big things In the kitchen, which makes it nice that it’s compact and portable. It is perfect for our kitchen, not to mention over to my mother-n-laws house. Now let me tell you what I think about the Halogen Tabletop Oven. GET ONE, you will love it. Seriously they are amazing. I have used it to cook more than my oven for several reasons:

  • It makes better, more flavorful food
  • Takes less time
  • Doesn’t heat up the house the way your traditional oven does Heats up instantly
  • Cooks nice and even Cleaning is a breeze

The first night I received my Halogen Oven I watched the video that came along with it. On the video, they tell you that it’s okay to place frozen chicken, steak or whatever else in the oven. Now here is the kicker, they also tell you that it only takes about 20 minutes to cook this frozen chicken, and yes I thought the same thing. Yea right, there is no way it will only take 20 minutes to thoroughly cook a frozen chicken breast. However, it did take exactly 20 minutes.

Halogen Cooker ReviewFirst I placed my almost entirely frozen chicken breasts in the Halogen Oven, turned it on, and set the timer for 10 minutes. I couldn’t help but stand there and stare at the chicken cooking. You can watch how fast it cooks. Once the timer went off, I used the tongs, flipped my chicken, and set for another 20 minutes. Guess what? It was not only complexly cooked but the best chicken I have ever tasted!

The next night we made steak. I placed the frozen steak in the oven, set for 10 minutes, flipped, laid down for another 10 minutes, and once again it was unbelievable. The Halogen oven seals in those natural juices that make your meat taste so good. Another perk is the glass bowl that allows you to see and watch your food while it’s cooking. Just love that!

Cooking ReviewI have used our Halogen Oven to cook almost every single night since we received it. It came with a recipe book, and there is also one online at Fagoramerican.com. You can cook just about anything you can think up with this bad boy. Check out a few of the many things you can make:

  • Vegetables Quesadillas
  • Casseroles
  • Baked Potatoes
  • Rolls
  • Biscuits
  • Cornbread
  • Pizza Rolls
  • Chicken Breasts
  • Chicken Wings
  • Beef fajita’s
  • Roasted Salmon
  • Cheesecake Bars
  • Soups

Now that is one huge list of things you can cook in the oven. The best part about it is that I don’t have to remember to take meat out of the oven anymore. When I am ready to make dinner, all I have to do is grab the meat out of the freezer. You can do also it to warm frozen French fries, tater tots, onion rings and it only takes 16 minutes at 450 degrees. Frozen hamburgers cooked in 14 minutes, frozen pork chops 15 minutes, and sirloin steak that is 1 inch thick only takes 14 minutes on each side.

Cook Steak in a Halogen OvenCleaning, it wouldn’t be a complete review if we did not talk about cleaning. Everything about this cooker is easy, cleaning included. It includes a self-cleaning mode and is dishwasher safe. As soon as we finish dinner, we always do the dishes, but cleaning is always easy.

cook fasterIf you enjoy baking, cooking, grilling, and just about everything else you’re going to love the Halogen Tabletop Oven!  While writing this review, I decided to swing by Amazon and see how much it costs. I was honestly thinking several hundred dollars, in my option, it would be worth every single penny. I almost fell over when I found it for only $79.95! I would buy this product again, and again.  It saves me time and lets me cook some pretty tasty meals for my family.  They have all noticed the difference, especially in meat that is cooked using it.

  6. I ike that it is clear so that I can see what I am cooking and also that there are two levels so that I can cook more than one thing and have a full dinner cooking at once and have it ready at the same time

  7. I would love to have one of these. We have been trying to eat healthier and I think this would help make it easier.

  8. I'm not surprised that it does a great job on meat and potatoes. But it does surprise me that it can also be used for baking. I would use it regularly for both.

  10. I love that it can cook so many things in a healthy way in such a little time. My goodness you can even cook a big ol' turkey in it

  12. I love that although this is a compact oven you can still fit a 16 pound turkey in it. This is a great oven and really something I hope to win

  17. I hope to win this oven that makes it so easy to bake , cook or grill in a short period of time

  19. I've been wanting one of these. i didnt realize they were so inexpensive. i cant wait to get rid of that blasted microwave. i have heard about al lthe dangers of microwaves, but didnt realize how bad it was until i tried to place a bowl of bread dough to rise by setting it on the only empty space in our away too tiny kitchen. the dough DSIEd and began smellign fowl within an hour. and we didnt even use the microwave!bt, the color of the text i nthis box makes it nearly impossible to edit or see what you are typing.

  20. Forgot to say in my previous comment: Thanks for such a thorough review!I put this on my Amazon wish list so hoping hubby may get it for me for Christmas :)

  21. This would be so perfect for my family. We are so busy with after school activites and to cook our healthy food faster would be a blessing :)

  24. I need one in my home, so I can prepare meals fast. I am tried a lot and this will help me.

  25. This sounds amazing! I think it's great that they are more energy efficient than conventional ovens. The fact that it seems to cook things in the same amount of time, if not faster, and seals in juices makes it a plus in my book.

  26. Someone posted on the wrong site. Hoping to win and even if I don't, I hope whoever wins enjoys. Have a great day!

  29. I'd love to have one of these ovens and cook in secret. Kidding! But I think food that I try to cook would turn out better.

  30. The tongs make it look so easy to lift the rack or flip the meat in this energy saving oven.

  32. Happy Labor Day! Hope you're enjoying a cookout, or whatever.We're going to have my husbands famous BBQ ribs. They aren't really ribs. He marinades pork loin, adds onion and peppers. After they're slow cooked and cooled they get cut into rib sized pieces and finished off on the grill. Yum!

  33. Ok it's 2 am here and after reading the review again ALL i can think about is peeling some apples. slicing them up and mixing them with cinnamon, sugar and butter and just let them simmer in this amazing item and then eating them all-LOL

  34. I also love the stainless steel extender and 2 stackable cooking racks which allow me to cook more if other family members are coming over.

  35. The energy costs in NH are super high. I would like sonething that is more energy efficient and cooks faster than my oven.

  37. I love that on days i forget to pull something from the freezer i wont have to freak because this oven can cook it from frozen to table in 30 mins...thats awaesome!!

  39. I have been wanting one if these type of cookers forever. I automatically freeze the meat I purchase as soon as I get home and I am one if those that never knows whats for dinner until the last minute. With this cooker I can pop the frozen meat right in it and it's cooked in a very short time. I love that feature.

  40. Would love to try this product! I have never used one before, but it sounds a lot easier than cooking in the Oven!Thanks for the awesome review!

  41. Funny thing the most thing that sticks out is the fact that it's safe and cooks through evenly. I despise chicken that is not cooked through...For good reason

  42. I would love to win this amazing oven that cook so quickly and uses less energy.

  43. To be able to steam, roast ,broil or grill and save on energy and not make too much heat makes this a marvelous appliance.

  44. I need this oven in my home because it's the perfect size and I want to get rid of my microwave. This would take up less counter space.

  46. This items is absolutely amazing. If I dont win one I think I should buy one for the house. I LOCE it cuz it's safe. You can cccok almost anything in it and the juices remain which is the number #1 rule for making gravy.

  50. Maybe with this my husband would actually let me cook. Seriously, he never lets me. He is a very good cook, but I'll never learn being banned from the kitchen!

  51. This is so handy. Once it is set I can put on the timer and don't need to watch it.

  54. I have counter space ready for this! Hopefully I'll win this one. If not, I'll probably end up buying one at some point.

  55. I like the lid that spreads the heat and light evenly for faster cooking, yet allows me to see the food.

  56. I'm still impressed by how fast this cooks things! It seems like a combination of a microwave oven and a conventional oven.

  59. This oven is great because it would save one time and emit less heat., especially for the hot months.

  60. I just noticed that you can make pizza rolls in it. I love pizza rolls but hate turning on the oven to cook a few. The microwave? Forget it. They get soggy.

  61. I would use this to cook whatever was possible. We live in a small apartment in Texas so turning on the oven some days will turn our lovely abode into a full on sauna.The size would also be agreeable with our living arrangement, tiny and tidy. The main things I would cook would be chicken and steamed veggies!

  63. I wonder if the food tastes any differently when you cook it frozen as opposed to thawing it out?

  64. Man, this would be wonderful to have for cooking in the summer. My house is so weird in that it retains heat like you wouldn't believe, so obviously I'm not able to use the oven (except late at night with the windows open. :(

  66. What I like about the Fagor American Halogen Tabletop Oven is that it's great for cooking for two and the reason why I need one in my home, is because it gets in the mid-90s where I live during the summer and if I use this oven it won't heat up the kitchen like a oven will. Also, it uses less energy making cooking cheaper as well as faster.

  67. I keep forgetting to thaw my meat out for supper so need to fret about frozen food if I had this appliance. I would love to have this! I could bake a cake in ,my oven and cook my meat and veggies in the t fal! We hate to cook in the microwave.

  68. The Halogen appliance makes the best chicken wings like they were fried. But no fat or grease. This is my favorite way of making wings and then putting buffalo wing sauce on them when done. Yummy.... I used mine so much, it broke.

  71. I've been following products like this all over eBay, I would love to have one and use it to make healthier meals for my family and myself.

  72. I'd love to try my favorite regular oven recipes in this oven which seem to make egerything easier.

  73. Hmmm, There are so many thinks I'd like to try. I haven't had Swiss steak in a long time. That would be first.

  74. So this would b so awesome to win. Would make excellent use in the summertime for us. We don't have central air and when we cook in the oven u cant breathe it's so hot. Would b such a privilege to have this, Pop the turkey, ham, chicken in it. Save the juices and make gravy. OK NOW I'm hungry

  75. We eat a lot of chicken breast. This would be nice not to heat up the kitchen and it would be much quicker than the oven.

  76. My husband and I have health issues and we need to learn to cook and eat healthier. By steaming, roasting, broiling or grilling we can reduce the fat intake we get from frying foods.

  77. This is so much better than a microwave oven which doesn't always cook food evenly. Slow cookers are good but I usually overcook food. This sounds perfect.

  78. I would love this , especially in the summer so that I don't heat up the house with the regular oven

  79. I love this because I can take food out of the freezer and cook it without it thawing first.

  81. My Hubby has seen the inframercial and hes been bugging me to get one of these. He likes the idea of using frozen food but I wasm't sure about that. Thanks for the interesting review, I think I'd like to give this a try...thanks!

  82. I always wanted to try and cook with one of these. I heard it is such agreat productsibabe64 at ptd dot net

  85. I love that this oven is so versatile, cooks faster and is more energy efficient than the regular oven

  86. This is very impressive! I've heard a lot of good things about this product, but i didn't know it was so versatile! I would really love to have one!!

  87. Cheesecake bars? That sounds good. I never thought about cooking anything other meat in an oven like this.

  88. Awesome! It's something that I wouldn't ordinarily buy unless I knew for sure that it works well. I have seen some infomercials for the oven, but I'm pretty skeptical about things on commercials, so I appreciate the review.

  90. I have a table top convection oven but this seems to be much nicer. I like the fact that it is so energy efficient and cooks much faster. According to the review the chicken was juicer and tender. I would love to try one!!

  92. I've never used a halogen oven. I'd love to try out different recipes. I think the best feature is that you don't have to thaw food out. Sometimes I get a taste for something and by the time it's thawed out, it's too late to cook.

  93. I could fall in love with an item like this. I have bad knees and can not stand for long periods of time. Cutting cooking time down is awesome! Another plus is cutting down on heating up the kitchen. I stay hot 24-7!! My thermostat stays on 68 and I freeze my daughter, but I also have respiratory problems , so I need cooler temps to breathe easier.Anything that makes cleaning easier will always win my vote!

  94. I like and need this because I want an easy way to cook and clean up after. This fills that need. And the food tastes good, too!

  98. I like that you can use this instead of heating up the whole kitchen with the oven or stove top. I also like that it doesn't use much power to operate. I would love to save money anywhere I can.

  100. To be perfectly honest, what is there not to like about The Table Top Oven, but personally, I am.a wife and Mommy of two, and Daddy works 3 jobs, while I stay home with The Kiddos, I have always had a hard time preparing meals for our Family, not too sure why, it just doesn't seem to come together very well, I lost my Mom at a very young age, so eating out was a regular part of my daily life, nowadays, that is just not possible, so Daddy tries to prepare meals.on top of his 3 jobs, which makes me feel horrible, The Table Top Oven seems, quick ,easy, fun and most of all, healthy! Our Family could definitely learn together , and have each meal ready for Daddy when He gets home, after his long and dreadful days! Sounds like a WIN-WIN situation, for whomever the Winner is, although, We would be forever grateful, as the Family claiming, The Table Top Oven! Thank you so very much!

  101. Every time I look at that chicken I get hungry. I love that oven. It reminds me of the Easy Bake oven Oven. Only for grown ups.

  102. We don't have a working oven (just a microwave), so this would be great - I could actually cook again!

  103. I really love this! I need one because I am always forgetting to lay meat out for dinner especially on the weekend.

  105. I love that it can steam, roast, broil, grill or even defrost! What doesn't it do? I'd love to get this cause our oven doesn't work!

  106. your review certainly made me want one of these! Roasted chicken is one of my favorite meals, so that would probably be the first test of this oven if I won one. Then I'd try cooking everything for a meal together in it. If it will do that, what a help!

  109. This would be such a blessing to have. i'm single and also have a very limiting back condition. I would eat so much healthier. This halagon oven is great!

  110. It sounds awesome, and just the right Product for me, since I live alone, and I don't like to heat up the House to cook a full Meal for just myself, but this would really come in handy for making Meals for myself. I will check this out for myself!Thanks for the awesome review!

  111. I love that it has a large glass body...always want to make easy and big meals for my hungry family...and now I could with this wonderful space~

  112. I have not used one nor have I ever heard about it. I would like to win it because of the ease and speed of cooking, easy cleanup, less energy used, and keeping the foods more flavorful and juicy. It would be perfect for my house in particular because I have chronic illnesses and am in pain, sick, and tired a lot, so I don't get to do much cooking. My husband would love having good homecooked meals again! Thank you for the great giveaway!

  113. I'm looking forward to hot soups, hot chocolate, and pies, especially pecan pie! They not only feed your body, but they feed the soul. :) Thanks for the great giveaway!

  114. I have a really small apartment and barely any space to cook, so I would love to win this oven. It also sounds like I could cook some great dinners in it. Thank you for the review :)

  116. The Fagor Halogen would be a prefect fit for myself and my husband,as we both have high blood pressure,this would certainly help us both to eat healthier also living in Florida the heat gets unbreabable in the summer months so cooking in the oven is impossible,thanks for this oppertunity

  117. I have the Fagor-America Halogen oven and love it. I can cook a rib roast, from frozen to medium rare in 30 min! We make fries, potatoes, soups, breads, etc... in it. it saves money, time and makes the food taste delicious! It's the best item I have ever bought! Hope to win this one for my daughter

  118. Halogen ovens make the best chicken wings. The cooking time is cut in half and no use of oil or fats.

  119. I need this because if you've ever tasted my cooking I think you'd agree. I need all of the help that I can get in the kitchen.

  121. my mother in law has one and she really likes it. I had never seen one before. I think it would be a great device to cook with and use during warmer months outside.

  122. This is amazing!!! Love that its easy to clean. Like that you can use frozen food and cooks its fast and completely. Would really enjoy using this..

  123. I'm amazed at all the different foods that can be cooked in this oven. It's so much better than a microwave oven.

  124. I would like this because it saves time and energy. Who would ever have to go out to eat for fast food when I could make mine at home just as quickly.

  125. I love this for several reasons! First, it is energy efficient. I like that I would have to run the oven to do the same foods more quickly in this machine. Second, cooking the same foods faster is always a plus. The kids have activities most week nights so quick meals are a must in our house.

  126. This can bake, cook, grill - I love a multi-tasker! Why have 3 or 4 appliances when you can just have one that does the work of all of them? Plus, our regular oven doesn't work!

  127. I remember watching the infomercial on this and I if it really does all that I seen, I want one. To cook food in a fraction of the time and it be more healthy. Also in our Family when we have our get togethers, you can't have too many cooking appliances. This Family can cook and I just want to see what we can do with this.

  129. I love this oven. It's the perfect size for the counter top. There are only two of us here and I hate to turn the oven on and heat up the house.

  130. My nest is finally empty and I'm alone cooking for only myself. Last son left for college and this would be perfect for me to cook with no mess and store for leftovers!

  132. 16 lb bird fits! Wow, so nice. Plus it does not heat up your entire home like a regular oven does. This would be awesome to have and I'd use it a lot!

  133. I have wanted a halogen table top oven for a looooong time! They are so versatile and can cook from frozen to eat quickly I love how you can save on electricity and cook so many different ways.

  134. Food cooked in 10 minutes? The first time I used it I'd check with a meat thermometer to make sure it was done. I'm very weird about food safety.

  136. I've been wanting to try this for a while! I don't have an oven in my apartment and I don't like having to microwave my food or buy takeout all the time, so this would be really useful!!!

  138. I've been using mine for over 2 years now and love it! But my cover cracked and now I need a new one!

  139. I love the fact that you don't need to use as much cooking oil. This means a lot to me due to health issues. The article was very well written and interesting!

  140. This would be so perfect for me! I am in Florida and dread putting on my oven during the summer-which is most of the year- and I am so wishy washy with what I feel like eating so it is hard to plan ahead. It would be great to know I can grab something out of the freezer and be able to have it for dinner a half hour later.

  141. This is delightful! I could be so creative, even though I only cook for my husband and myself I would be using my time and energy wisely with this appliance.

  143. I cannot or will not believe this until I am able to try this for myself. seen too good to be true.

  144. I have a halogen oven and use it just about everyday. I can take a frozen chicken quarter out of the freezer and cook it in an hour without having to thaw it out first. It is amazing how much fat is left on the bottom of the oven after the chicken is cooked.It is good also for cooking fries without oil. Replacement bulbs are available at Amazon.This is a great product, I love it..

  145. This is awesome! I have had many times where I forgot to take something out of the freezer for dinner and ended up having to defrost in the microwave where I lost a lot of juices from placing in there. Love that I could take it out and directly put in here and have a wonderful dinner with lots of flavor and juice in my meal. Thank you for a wonderful giveaway

  146. This sounds like an absolute must have item. The versatility of foods that can be cooked is amazing. I think I just may have found the one thing I will ask Santa for this year!!

  149. I have seen this on television and I can never believe what I see on those tv ads, lol, but after reading your review it makes me want to do a little more research on this oven. I would much rather cook in this instead of heating up my house with the big oven.

  150. Hello, nice review. I've seen this on TV and wondered if it would be useful or a dust collector. I've bought some things that we don't use very much and they end up in the yardsale and then I've gotten things that we use all of the time like my Showtime Rotisserie. I'm now going to give this a second look. Thanks!

  152. This oven sounds amazing! I'm always forgetting to take meat out of the freezer in time to defrost for dinner. I'll have to add this to my Christmas list this year! Thanks so much for telling us about it!

  153. This is awesome! I will be looking into getting one of these! We are always in a hurry when it comes to meals & this would be great to have on hand!

  154. I really need one of these! I always forget to defrost my meat and I hate using the oven in the summer in Florida. I did not know that something like this was available.

  156. Wow - THis is great for small apartment living. Better than a microwave. Pictures make me hungry!

  158. I have been very curious about cooking with halogen. It sounds like it is as good as I had hoped. I love that you can go from frozen to cooked in 30 minutes. I do really like that it is energy efficent too.

  159. This sounds like a dream come real cooking fast easy and even start of with frozen food it sound just so good it is diffently something people should check into especially busy people and people wanting to cut back on electral bill

  162. Wow, this would be a God-send for us, as we do not have a working oven, and the microwave is pretty limited in terms of real cooking. I'm going to give this some serious thought, I'd love to really be able to cook again!

  163. I have been looking into the Convection Stoves but was looking for some usefull info on them, Thanks

  164. Would love to have this because I always forget to take meat out of the freezer to thaw!!!

  165. This looks great! That is amazing how it can cook frozen meat and foods so quickly and requires so little attention - it would be a great addition to my family's busy lives.

  166. How cool is this!! I have never seen anything like this before. it amazes me how far technology has come. I would love to have this.... Great review Jenn

  167. I love it! I usually forget to pull food from the freezer. By the time it thaws it's too late to eat. The size is perfect too!

  168. I haven't tried this product yet but have been stalking it on amazon. I do have the t-fal actifry which I LOVE! This cooker would be a great addition to cook chicken while the "healthy" fries are cooking in the t-fal. Definitely going to put this on my wish list for christmas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for the review it was very helpful!
