At one point, all people could talk about was the game-changing magic of having an air fryer. The convenient and trendy appliance was all over social media as people celebrated an alternative to unhealthy food fryers.
Air fryers offer people a way to make crispy chicken, french fries, and all kinds of goodies without any fuss. They can just pop their food in, set the timer, and temperature, then wait for the deliciousness to be ready.

Some people think air fryers are too pricey

However, over time, many models and brands have increased significantly in price, while the quality just isn’t impressive. They generally range from $25 to $400, and many people report disappointment after purchasing one for more than $100.
There’s a new kitchen appliance rivaling air fryers
It’s time for all of the air fryers of the world to scoot over and make way for the very hot Halogen Oven.
This more affordable appliance uses a halogen lightbulb to cook food in a small glass bowl underneath it. It’s essentially a mini oven that cooks food much faster than a traditional conventional oven.
Halogen Ovens have more cooking options
Halogen ovens offer an array of cooking options, including roasting, grilling, baking, steaming, and even dehydrating. They can do things that air fryers just can’t quite pull off.
Plus, they can cook pretty much anything, while air fryers have more limitations.
These ovens also cook faster than air fryers
Air fryers rely on circulating hot air to heat things, while Halogen ovens utilize both convection heating and infrared radiation technology that makes things cook faster.
People are raving about their Halogen ovens on Amazon
People on Amazon are amazed by their Halogen ovens.
“I’ve had this for just under a week and honestly don’t know how I got by without it,” one customer wrote in a review.
“Heats faster and cooks more efficiently (and cheaply) than my oven, I’ve cooked several meals for a family of 3 including lasagnes, roast potatoes, chicken etc, except the pizza where the base was soft but I think a decent pizza tray will fix that,” they added.
People even find Halogen ovens roomier
One customer found room in their Halogen oven to put in larger food items, including beef hamburgers and large slices of garlic bread.
The baskets and shelves of their oven offered much more room than most air fryers can supply.
Holagen ovens use less electricity
Halogen ovens use less than half the electricity that conventional ovens do. Similar to the energy expenditure of microwaves, they can be used throughout the day without driving up the electricity bill.
In fact, the Halogen oven can use less electricity per hour than an air fryer.
They also come in an assortment of colors and designs
There’s no shame in admitting that one of the best parts of having an air fryer is getting it in a cute color. Trust us, we get it.
Fortunately, Halogen ovens also come in an assortment of cute colors that can coordinate with your kitchen decor.
There are also various designs to fit each person’s taste and needs.
