Air fryers have been the biggest rage for a while , but people have been since then talking about an alternative to this popular kitchen gadget.
Introducing the Halogen Oven:
This innovative device utilizes a halogen lightbulb to cook food within a small glass bowl positioned behind it.
Typically, the halogen oven consists of a protective basket on the outside to prevent burns, encasing the glass bowl. Above this setup is the halogen bulb, which activates the temperature rising high enough for cooking. To maintain the desired temperature, the bulb may flash on and off intermittently.
Some models offer temperature ranges from 60°C to around 240°C (140°F to 464°F).
This device has been suggested to be a cheaper alternative to the air fryers. Whilst the air fryer is popular, the most expensive models can start to get a little pricey which undermines their status as a budget item.
