Overview
The MegaChef Multipurpose Halogen Oven is a glass bowl air fryer that defrosts, broils, roasts, bakes, steams and grills using halogen heat and a built-in fan, without needing to preheat frozen food.
The clear glass bowl is what reviewers highlight most, letting you watch food cook and stop it early if cheese starts to ooze or a roast is done. It runs larger than typical air fryers, big enough for a whole chicken, which some buyers like and one calls impractical for cooking alone. It shipped without an instruction booklet according to one reviewer, who had to look up loading instructions separately.
- Glass bowl with removable steel collar
- Defrosts, broils, roasts, bakes, steams, grills
- Built-in fan circulates halogen heat
- No preheat needed for frozen food
Who it's for
Good for a household that wants one countertop appliance handling roasting, baking and air frying at a larger size, and wants to see food while it cooks. Less suited to someone cooking for one who does not want a large capacity oven taking up counter space.
What buyers say
