I cook food without the help of a "turbo", simply by putting a lid on - doing slow cooking - and guess what? It turns out simply fine! Guess we have to buy, whatever it is we have to buy, but that's not on my shopping list.

Hi Phyl, Must comment. We have had 1 of those turbo oven for about 3 years. (we paid over $200) They are everything you say with the added advantage of cooking the best BAKED dinner ever & in half the time. The cost savings, over a convential oven are enourmous.

I know many older folk living alone who would never light up the oven to cook a roast dinner for one but with the small quick heating easy clean convection oven will now have many roast dinners as the electricity alone is such a saving, and also, everything cooks in the one pot so to speak. Even a small meat loaf or just any meat at all with veges. makes a roast dinner and I am really looking forward to making scones and bread and cakes any day maybe every day lol (for awhile anyway) as it is so cheap to run. How many Seniors would light up an oven to cook 1/2 doz. scones or one small cake or a tiny loaf of bread? well now everyone can.

It is actually exciting.

Phyl.
