Cooking Halogen Oven Style

There are so many different ways to cook using a halogen oven. You can bake, grill, stir fry, and broil. You name the recipe, and unless it does not require deep frying, then  you can use your halogen oven to cook it. This is how versatile a cooking appliance the halogen oven is.

If you have worked and cooked a broiler, then you have fairly good idea how it would be like to cook some halogen oven recipe using of course,  a halogen oven. There are distinct differences like the defrosting method and the cooking time, but cooking and baking is basically the same whichever appliance you use. This makes it very easy to transition from a microwave oven, toaster oven, range, or broiler to a halogen oven.

You could try making kebabs which are wonderful to showcase your cooking skills. Almost anything can be cooked as a kebab – vegetables, seafood like large shrimps and squid, pork, chicken, beef, and even fruits like pineapple. You could even combine all these into one kebab. The only thing you should be cautious about is the cooking time for each. Shrimps and vegetables do not take long unless they are potatoes and other tough root crops. Beef, pork and chicken will take longer. If you want to grill combinations, you must pre-cook the meats, then marinate the ingredients together before grilling in your halogen oven. A good marinade would be the spicy kebab.

Spicy Kebab Marinade

Combine plain yoghurt, about 500 grams, with cumin, grated ginger, and tikki paste. You can get this tikki paste in specialty stores. If you enjoy very spicy food, you could add some chili powder, red or white, and even more cumin. Mix them all well together and viola! You have a great tasting spicy kebab marinade. If you make too much, you can store it for a few days in your refrigerator provided no meat has touched the remaining marinade.
