It can also be applied to dehydrate vegetables for preservation. The cooking process of the halogen oven is also a type of dry - heat cooking which either air or fat is used as the medium of cooking.
A higher temperature can be achieved as compared with moist-heat cooking, which uses water and steam as the medium of cooking. Muscle the protein-rich part of meats cooked at high temperatures, or that are cooked for a long time tend to form HCAs. Cooking methods that expose meat , especially high-fat meats, to smoke or charring contribute to PAH s formation. These contaminants can be found in charred foods, barbecued meats, and "Siu Mei", etc. Information shows that acrylamide is formed when certain foods, particularly plant-based foods that are rich in carbohydrates and low in proteins, are cooked at high temperatures such as in frying, roasting or baking.
These kitchen electrics utilize a bright halogen light to produce heat, which is spread throughout the oven via fan. The temperature inside is controlled by a thermostat, which means the light knows when to turn on and off at will. Want to roast a chicken in a half hour?
Look no further than a new halogen oven for your kitchen. In many ways, buying a halogen oven is similar to purchasing any other type of appliance for your kitchen, which is to say that it can be easier said than done!
There are a number of things that need to be taken into consideration when shopping for a halogen oven, all of which will factor into which option is best for your home.
Take, for example, the following criteria:. Halogen ovens can be controlled by the user in different ways depending upon their design. Not unlike slow cookers, most halogen ovens are controlled via rotary dials that can be manually turned so as to create the best environment for cooking the food at hand. The heating chamber often consists of multiple metal racks which help with cooking more than one type of food at the same time. Inside the assembly there is a circular halogen lamp, a temperature control interface, a fan, an automatic shut off timer and other temperature controls.
The heat lamp inside the oven is controlled by a thermostat when it comes to turning it on or off. A simple on-off switch turns on the halogen lamp inside which generates waves of high density infrared light to heat the air within the chamber. The fan inside helps the heated air to be evenly distributed throughout the chamber so that food gets cooked to perfection.
Grilling with infrared heat eliminates the mess and smoke of charcoal grilling so you can enjoy it year round. The same goes for cooking with an infrared halogen oven.
Some households even use it as a secondary oven to use for larger family meals or gatherings. However, there are important factors that will affect your choice:. Firstly, you must make sure that you have enough space for this cooker. One of the main halogen oven disadvantages would be that they are not huge. However, you will require a decent amount of cupboard space or work surface space. Review the size and consider where you could store it. Typically, this type of cooker is approximately 40x40x30cm, to give you a rough idea of how much space you need.
Think about how much food you cook on a regular basis and what size of oven you will need. Also, although these devices are not huge, they can be heavy. For example, some halogen devices can weigh up to 10kg including the lid. Ensure that you are comfortable lifting the weight and that you will not cause any injury. Next, consider the cooking power and cooking methods. These devices typically have an energy rating of around W. This denotes the power of the bulb and its energy output.
The energy output will directly affect the cooking speed. For example, a W device would cook food quicker than a W device. You should also look at the temperature control. Does the device have a temperature dial so you can easily cook different food?
Does it support any functions like charcoal grilling, steaming, or slow cooking? Is there a timer so you can use recipe books and cook your food to perfection? Also, consider if you can safely add water to the device during cooking. As mentioned, cleaning is relatively simple for these devices. However, you should still consider the different parts the device has such as lid stands, a lid, and drip trays.
Generally, the bowl is the easiest to clean as you can simply soak it in warm soapy water. Other items like the support posts or food stand can be more difficult to clean.
