Tried and Tested
GillE:
Are you referring to the convection oven, Sandra? Although I've never tried one, I'm tempted because they're supposed to cook food about 20% faster than a conventional oven. However, I already have three ovens (four if you include the microwave) so my attention is on the food steamer.
Sandra:
Its the convection oven Gill that I am interested in, steaming would be way too healthy for me and I dont really fancy steamed fillet steak and chips :woot:
I read this review last year on them :

The reviewer gives the JML only 5/10 but thats possibly because she needed to adjust the time or heat settings to cook properly with it. If you compare the pictures on that site and the Aldi one then they look identical.
If I can get out early enough tomorrow and they havent sold out I will go and have a look at them and see if they look OK.
Simon:
My breadmaker arrived yesterday, but I haven't had a chance to get it out of the box, or even make room in the kitchen for it, yet. I have also been tempted by a vegetable steamer, as I do like my veg crunchy. :)
GillE:
What sort of breadmaker is it, Simon?
I've decided against buying a steamer because cheap models seem to get bad reviews on comparison websites. Added to which, I've already got a three-tiered steaming pan which works admirably.
I see there have been lots of complaints about the Tefal Actifry being made of flimsy material and having a tendency to blow up!

Yes, I've looked at those too. I must decide on something.

I'm now on my third, and treating it very gently! I don't think they stand up to the heat very well, and I wish there was an alternative similar product, but there doesn't seem to be, and they do make damn good chips!
