subject: Secura Infrared Convection Oven Fore Fast Cooking Without Microwaves [print this page]

Hey all. I have a great love for cooking my own food and particularly baking which I have done avidly since school. I take a lot of pride knowing that I have cooked something myself and I know what ingredients it contains. The trouble is that I find it difficult to bake my cakes properly and I put this down to the type of oven that Im using. I always end up literally throwing cakes away because they haven't turned out right.

Over the past few months I have been using a turbo oven - the Secura Halogen Infrared Turbo Oven which uses convection action to cook food.

What is a convection oven?

Unlike a conventional oven, a convection oven uses a fan to distribute the air evenly in an oven so that the food cooks evenly over a shorter period of time. A conventional oven passes air through the oven randomly.

So what makes the oven I am using different?

Well it cleverly uses Halogen Infrared Turbo Convection methods to cook food. I had never heard of the use of all of these methods together but I can tell you now, it works really great. This is counter top oven rather than a fully sized oven so isn't going to cook a whole family meal but here are the reasons why its so good.

This turbo oven can cook faster than a conventional oven BUT also almost as fast as a microwave. I have never owned a microwave oven because I don't feel comfortable using them because to me they cook food un-naturally. Cooking a large jacket potato in a microwave just doesn't appeal to me. The Secura Halogen Infrared Turbo Oven offers very fast cooking times without microwaves which I absolutely love.

This countertop turbo oven not only cooks great but looks it too. The cooking bowl is made out of tough glass similar to Pyrex. A lot of the counter top ovens I have seen are made out of plastic which I do not like heating up even if it is heatproof. You can see the food cooking so there is no need to open it to check progress and the bowl is really easy to clean.

The Secura Halogen Infrared Turbo Oven heats up really quickly so no more waiting around for your oven to reach cooking temperature which in itself wastes energy.

Cooking meats like chicken, pork and turkey is a real pleasure because they cook thoroughly in a fraction of the time and are golden brown and crispy on the outside and succulent and moist on the inside. It can even cook a whole turkey from frozen which is astounding. I suspect the water melts and evaporates plus this appliance can also be used as a steamer.

It allows me to pursue my passion of baking. I reckon the moist well cooked cakes we buy in store are baked in large convection type ovens that's why until now I couldn't get my cakes right. If you do use the Secura Turbo oven to bake cakes, just ensure you buy a tin that fits right and allows for rising.

The power cord can be unplugged so that makes the whole appliance even safer to use and storage is easier.

NOTE: This turbo oven has a manual clock timer which you shouldn't try to move once the timer is set lest you damage it. If you have allowed too much time just open the lid and that stops the oven.

How you can save money on this turbo oven.

Here is how I help you save money. You can get this oven from Amazon HERE where it receives very good reviews but its cheaper to get it direct from the manufacturers at securadeluxe.com At the time of writing, the Secura Turbo oven costs $129.00 on Amazon.com but if you buy direct from the manufacturer its $115.55 I chose the latter method because it was cheaper and you can pay in 3 interest free installments of $36.85 if you want which is what I did.
