I enjoyed watching the infomercial for the new Halo Oven. (Let's face it: I love watching any commercial that says they want to help feed me.) What I liked most was that the announcer seemed to know me. He starts the commercial by saying that when it's time to cook you "throw it in the microwave or feed the family fast-food on the run." This guy reads me like a book!
Halo Oven, by the way, is a circular device that's sized about halfway between a food processor and small microwave oven. It uses infrared waves to cook your food as much as 50 percent faster than a regular oven, but uses 85 percent less energy. It's better than a microwave, because it keeps the food's natural juices and cooks the food all the way through, without burning the outside. Best of all, it actually cooks out most of the fat. I bought my Halo Oven a few weeks ago, and it has replaced my microwave oven.
However, I have to be honest: The commercial was clearly made more for a woman than for a guy like me.They show all of these fancy things you can do with your food, and it even comes with a book of recipes. That's clearly not how we guys cook. When we cook a microwave food item, who reads the directions? The woman. The guy just takes it out of the carton, puts it in the oven, cooks it for a while and hopes for the best. That's probably how most of us will use the Halo Oven, too. Grab some chicken, drop it in, cook it and see how it comes out.
Fortunately, so far has come out great, despite my haphazard cooking methods. I encourage you to try the Halo Oven.
