Fagor 12 Quart Halogen Tabletop Oven Review

Nothing could be better than a simple and straightforward design that works beautifully.  That’s why the Fagor 12 Quart Halogen Tabletop Oven is getting positive reviews from customers.

You can broil and bake without heating up the entire kitchen, and you can grill meat, poultry and fish without smoke or flames.

The Fagor 12-Quart convection oven seals in nutrients and flavor so that food tastes wonderfully delicious.

This tabletop oven features a 1300-watt heating element combined with a powerful fan to circulate hot air for uniform cooking.  The tempered glass bowl allows you to see your food as it cooks.  Two stackable racks allow you to cook on two levels simultaneously.   It comes with an extender ring to increase the oven’s capacity to 17 quarts.  Tongs, a user manual and recipe booklet are also included.

The Fagor oven’s control panel is remarkably easy to operate.  A timer knob is used to set the cooking time up to one hour.  The oven switches off automatically at the end of the preset time and an alarm will ring  to alert you that cooking is done.  You can easily select the desired temperature using the manual temperature knob.

Pros

With the Fagor 12 Quart Halogen Tabletop Oven, it’s the little things that count.  First of all, the bowl is made of tempered glass and not plastic.  Plastic tends to discolor and deteriorate over time; tempered glass does not.  In many countertop ovens, you have to purchase the extender ring separately but it is a standard accessory that comes with the Fagor tabletop oven.

This oven is compact and perfect for boats, dorm rooms, RVs and small kitchen spaces.  It saves cooking time and is energy efficient.  It also has a very nice safety feature: the oven won’t work unless the handle is folded down correctly.

You can prepare perfectly cooked meals including air fried chicken wings, pork roast, chicken breasts, steaks, vegetables, etc.  Cleanup is very easy — the glass bowl is dishwasher safe and the frying pan is nonstick for easy food release.

Cons

The recipes are not too clear about cooking times.  At any rate, you have to give it your best estimate.  Take note of how long it takes to cook food when you try out a recipe for the first time in this oven.  You may need to experiment to get the correct cooking time.

Recommendation

Overall, the Fagor 12 Quart Halogen Tabletop Oven is a marvelous gadget.  It is simple to use, light, compact, and efficient.  It cooks food quickly with minimum fuss.  You can count on it to last for many years.  The oven is on sale at Amazon.com.  This is one purchase you will not regret.
