Aldi Mini Oven

With our kitchen being ripped out this week and a couple of weeks wait before we get the new one we decided to try the Aldi Mini Oven which was on sale last week. Priced at only £19.99 I thought it was worth a try. 

We tried it out last night for the first time and it worked really well. The initial smell was rather off putting, as it smelt like burning plastic, but once we'd left it to run for 15 minutes with the oven door open, as the instructions suggested, it cooked dinner perfectly. 

Advertised as big enough for 4 slices of bread or a 9 inch pizza it isnt huge, but as it comes with a baking tray the correct size it means you can make maximum use of the space. It was plenty big enough to fit chicken & potatoes for two.

Having spoken to a friend who had a similar mini oven when their regular oven broke, I was worried that the food in the middle of the oven would cook much faster than the rest. However, the food cooked evenly throughout.

Once the kitchen is fitted we will have a hob but we wont have a cooker until the house has been rewired. I can see this little oven coming in really handy.
