Dr Dave Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 We have got one of these halogen ovens from Maplin and found them to be excellent at a good price of £29.99, noticed today they have then in the shops if anyone wants one. http://www.maplin.co.uk/12-litre-compact-halogen-oven-535830 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

issie Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Can I ask if the halogen oven uses much electricity? we had a problem using our microwave oven with grill, it kept blowing the electric on a site we use a lot and wondered if the halogen oven might be the answer? :-D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, if you have a power supply of 6 amps, you should be okay with either (so long as you don't try to run anything else at the same time). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You won't get that problem with a Halogen oven, the Maplin one is 1300 W about 5½ amps so shouldn't be a problem on most hook-ups, just be careful in Italy where hook-ups are often only 3 amp. Do be careful when on 220v hook-ups abroad, often in France the voltage can be down to around 200v then you would be drawing 6½ amps on full power.
