Fagor America Tabletop Oven Review and Giveaway

Thanks to Fagor America for allowing me to review their Halogen Tabletop Oven free of charge for review on my blog.

I received my Halogen Tabletop Oven this morning via UPS and I already had a whole chicken waiting for the oven to arrive! Lucky for me the oven came with a recipe guide inside the user manual and there was a recipe there for Savory Roasted Chicken and I had all of the ingredients on hand so I gave it a shot. I will share the recipe at the end of the post but to get started I'll tell you a little more about the product.

The Halogen Tabletop Oven has a 12 qt. capacity, cooks up to 50% faster and is up to 75% more energy efficient than a conventional oven. The powerful halogen heating and convection system circulates heated air evenly around oven. It has an easy-to-clean glass body with two stackable cooking racks (Racks may be used independently or simultaneously), simple to use dial for timer and temperature settings.

Included Accessories: 

•Two cooking racks; Upper & Lower.

•Tongs for lifting racks and foods from the oven.

•Stainless steel extender ring (adds an extra 5qt. capacity)

•Non-stick pan

This highly efficient and portable convection oven does the work of many appliances in one. A powerful internal fan circulates hot air to cook food uniformly and seal in natural juices for full flavor and aroma. I personally like the tabletop oven because it doesn't heat my home up like my conventional oven. I can still cook all of my favorite meals in the hot summer heat and enjoy the comfortable coolness of my home! The recipe possibilities are endless because this oven grills, bakes, broils, steams, and roasts! You can do anything from bake a cake to roast a chicken! 

The recipe I used was the Savory Roasted Chicken 

Serves: 4 

Cooking Time: 1 Hr 5 min.

INGREDIENTS

1 whole chicken (about 4 pounds)

2 tablespoons oil

2 tablespoons melted butter

1 ½ tablespoons lemon juice

2 teaspoons seasoned salt

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

½ teaspoon fresh ground black pepper

¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)

2 whole lemons that have been poked all over with a fork

DIRECTIONS

Rinse the chicken inside and out under cold water, pat dry using a paper towel.

In a small bowl, mix the lemon juice with oil and melted butter until blended, then rub all over the chicken and under the skin of the chicken breast.

Rub the inside and outside of the chicken with seasoned salt, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper and cayenne (you can season the chicken under the skin also if desired). Place the lemons inside the cavity. Using cotton string, tie the legs together tightly.

Place chicken on low rack in oven, breast side down. Bake for 35 minutes at 400°F. Turn chicken over so breast side is up. Top oven with extender ring and bake an additional 30 minutes or until the temperature of an instant read thermometer registers 165°F when inserted into the thickest part of a thigh.

Cover with foil and let sit for 15 minutes before slicing.

The end result.... Delicious
