Very simple recipe posted in our forums
Use high rack at 250 deg C. Spread grated cheese on 1 or 2 slices of bread and put on high rack.
Cook for 6 to 8 mins until cheese is bubbling. You can add onion, tomatoes etc on top of cheese.

Ingredients:
300g potatoes, peeled and chopped into 1cm pieces
1 red pepper finely chopped
4 large eggs beaten
1/2 red onion finely chopped
100g feta cheese
Preheat halogen oven to 225c for a couple of minutes, put an oven proof dish in to heat through with a drizzle of olive oil in. ( Or the halogen oven frying pan works well for this recipe: http://bit.ly/g7sFMn )
Add the potatoes to the hot oil and stir to coat. Cook until potatoes are evenly coloured on all sides (stirring occasionally). Add the pepper and onion with a little more olive oil and stir to coat evenly. Cook for a further 5 mins.
Remove dish from oven and add the beaten eggs.
Give the dish a shake to evenly spread the eggs. Do not stir as eggs will scramble.
Put the dish back into the oven and crumble feta cheese (although any cheese would do) over the top along with salt and pepper to taste and cook for a further 5mins until golden and set

Alot of people get this wrong but we think we’ve nailed it! 1 part rice to 2 parts water. Place in a glass bowl put on full heat for 20 mins. Keep stirring every 5 mins or so. Perfect! Post Views :6506Continue reading… How to cook rice
Read the rest of this entry »Ingredients:
1 tblsp of either butter or olive oil
1 leek
1 large potato
1 stick of celery
2 large carrots
1 garlic clove (crushed)
1 tblsp parsley (fresh) or 1/2 that amount( if dried)
1 1/2 pts of chicken stock (or water and stock cubes)
1 tsp curry powder (secret ingredient)
seasoning
Method
Roughly chop up all the vegetables, keeping the chopped leek separate…
Heat the oil/butter in a pot and then gently fry the leeks for 3 or 4 minutes. Once they have softened a little, add the rest of the vegetables.
Let everything sizzle for a little while longer – stirring to prevent any burning.
Add the stock, curry powder, bring to the boil and then simmer for 30-40 minutes until everything is cooked and soft. Let the soup cool a little and then liquidise with a hand blender or liquidiser. At this point, taste the soup and then add salt & pepper to your taste.
If the soup is too thick, thin it down with either a little more stock or milk.
If it is too thin, add a little instant potato until you are happy with it.
Serve with crusty bread or a naan.
Enjoy

As with quite a few of the recipes, the connection to cooking it in a halogen oven is tenuous to say the least. Is this all done in the halogen oven? If so, it’s not the most convenient cooking mode for frequent stirring. What temperature should the oven be set on? Should the cooking dish be covered, and at what stage? Even basis things like what size dish is needed to contain the ingredients without it boiling over? This to me reads just like a “soup cooked in a saucepan” recipe.
What would be more helpful would be more information about the different dishes, temperatures and timing needed to convert from ‘normal’ cooking to halogen, and the best way to use the limited space to cook complete meals.
No mention of a halogen oven, no Tempratures etc
Jacquie, I was thinking exactly the same, so you’ve beat me to it. Soups in a saucepan or in a crockpot seem the most favoured method.
I made cheese muffins in the Halogen oven this morning & we enjoyed them for morning tea.
I agree. I think the recipes are too simplistic as I have been cooking for years. The recipes tend to be directed to beginners! But we are all beginners when it comes to using the H/O so I think this site should help more with the technical/ practical side of using the oven and as Jaquie says converting our existing recipes/ways of cooking to this new way. That would be so much more helpful.
Maybe the forum is the place for these comments
I have bought a small halogen oven which is 3.5 litres which will convert to 5.5 litres. It has one smalll rack which measures 6 centimetres. I t is supposed to cook a meal for two people. How could I put two chops and four roast potatoes on a rack measuring 6cm. There is no high rack and I am told there isn’t one available. I am in the UK
Ingredients
1 Chicken breast
1 teaspoon Pesto
Mozzarella cheese
Instructions
1. Flatten the chicken breast out (put it in a plastic bag and hit it a few times with a rolling pin).
2. Next place into the Halogen Oven on to the lower rack and cook on HI for 18 minutes (may need to cover in foil so that top doesn’t burn).
3. Spread some pesto on the top, and put sliced mozzarella on top of that.
4. Put back into your Halogen Oven and watch until cheese is melted.
5. Serve with jacket potato (45-50 minutes in your Halogen Oven!) and some of your favourite veg.

I have tried pork chop in the halogen and they never seem cooked. Theyb have been in there for a lot longer than 20mins….and no they are not over cooked.
Look forward to your reply
Thanks

It depends how big your chops are, you need to warm up the oven first.
I always dust in flour then fry my chops off before I put them in the halogen cooker and I put round them – skin side up, oiled, salted and halved potatoes that I have microwaved first of all. I agree with the original poster 20 minutes would just not cook them!
Depends on your oven!
What’s the point if I gotta cook things before putting them in the oven? I got my halogen oven as a gift from my daughter & as yet have only tried it once but am dissappointed with the lack of information available, I wanted to roast potatoes & grill the chops but do I need to put these items in dishes or on the grids? I can grill the chops normally in less than 20mins even fat ones I thought this was quicker
It depends on your oven, It uses less energy that a normal cooker. You can roast the potatoes , but i prefer to part boil then first. Up to you,
Have just used my new oven once for a roast Duck and did the potatoes halved on the top rack with the duck near the end , they took about 20 mins on 220 turning them as they cook quickly they were delicious. I did spray them with 1 cal oil first.
Funny… 8 minutes each side does chops perfectly for me
