A halogen oven is an appliance that has a lamp and an air fan which spreads heat uniformly through the cooking bowl to allow food in it to cook. Halogen ovens can be used to grill, bake, steam or roast food. One good thing about halogen ovens is that, they consume less electricity compared to the usual ovens we use, up to about 75% less.
