Turbo Convection Oven

Great Product, Great Price!
A friend of mine purchased a Turbo oven last year from another manufacture and he swears by it. I Thought it would be nice to have ,but I didn't what to spend $139 as he did for his. When I entered Turbo Ovens into Amazon,the Oyama Turbo came up. Upon doing a little research on the Oyama, and others products like this , I saw they all had 1300 watts of power, ran by halogen heat source and used a fan to distribute the heat. So what was the difference? Each manufacture was charging double the price for their oven compared to the Oyama.

I decided to purchase this oven because it looked solid and had all the features as the expensive one's did.The Oyama arrived days later and the moment of truth was upon me.I opened the box up read the directions and within ten minutes I was ready to go. I decided to try a steak,and fourteen minutes later It was ready. The steak came out perfect and I was sold. The next couple of weeks I tried everything from pork chops to fish and everything...

Like it!
I love this little oven. The glass bowl and metal racks clean up in the dishwasher. You do have to clean the lid by hand. I accidently got some water in the lid (where the motor is) once while cleaning it, and it tripped the GFI when I plugged it in. Set it on the stove while I used my regular oven and the heat dried it out. It worked fine as soon as it was dry again. With the two of us, I can put in a cornish game hen, potatoes and veggie and have dinner in 45 minutes with no added heat in the kitchen. That is especially nice in the summer.We use it several times a week and will do so even more this winter. I wish the glass lid came apart for cleaning, but that is a minor detail. I have not used it for bread or cake, but see no reason that would not work as well. A roast and a hen also cooked well in it. Mine has a timer that turns it off and you can also set the temperature. A handy guide on the lid suggests the temperature for various items.

I Love It - Wish I'd Bought One Years Ago
It took me a few days to actually get interested in using my new oven. The directions are really lacking, so I wasn't sure where to start. There were only two recipes in the instruction booklet - lobster and crispy chicken. There wasn't even a standard instruction booklet diagram explaining the different parts in the box or how they fit together. Fortunately there are many similar models on the Internet, so I found directions in other brand's instruction booklets to fill in my knowledge gaps. One mysterious, extra piece turned out to be a handle to take the racks out when they are hot, but that took some Internet digging to figure out. It wasn't obvious what to use it for from looking at it, and it wasn't mentioned anywhere in the instruction booklet.

Other than that, once I got over the where do I even start hurdle, the oven overall works great. Food generally cooks in less time than it takes to cook in our wall ovens, and I suspect at much less wattage. My first dish...
