I saw this one in my local but due to bad reviews on amazon 1/5 didn't bother to buy it. It's 12 liters but forget the brand. Reviews says it grills/burns the food and will not cook properly...

" A waste of money
By Mr. Geoffrey W. White - 10 Mar. 2014
We bought one of these ovens on an impulse from Morrisons (around £25) with the idea that it would be more economical than using our main oven for small servings such as naan bread, oven fries etc. Our initial findings were that this oven tended to grill the food rather than cook it throughout. The fan directs the heat from the element straight down rather than circulating it. I did try and mitigate this effect by trying various temperature settings and even placing a glass bowl on the top rack to deflect the heat from food placed on the bottom rack. I was beginning to understand how to best use this oven when it failed to work within one month of purchase. Unfortunately, we didn't keep the receipt. I think that in principle, this type of oven may have a use but it needs a lot of development. I honestly can't recommend this product as it failed to produce good results and then stopped working."

So does my toaster and my grill.
Was going to take your advice and go out and buy an air fryer... But as it was sunny and I can't take the risk! :smiley:

infrared present in natural sunlight (according to wikipedia:Sunlight is a portion of the electromagnetic radiation given off by the Sun, in particular infrared, visible, and ultraviolet light)
This means by your comment, you'll have to stay indoor forever from now :wink:

arent they the same thing. reading about it and says the the same thing.
Infra red is literally heat. Yeah it's radiation, but whenever you feel warm, you're absorbing infra red heat radiation.
