Mini Ovens
Mini Ovens are small ovens very suitable for kitchens with limited space,for student accomodation or for use as as a very useful second oven.
A cheap and excellent mini oven is the Standard Remosa Electric Cooker which has a stainless steel lid and a very useful glass viewing window.
The Standard Remoska is only 21 cm across and fits very well in limited spaces.
A larger version called the Grand Remoska is 32 cm wide and has a deeper pan.
Here are things you can cook in this mini oven:
Lamb chops with roast potatoees,roast chicken pieces,toasted sandwiches vegetable bakes,fish,8 inch pizzas from frozen.
You can also reheat ready meals and even cook sponge cakes.
Its made in the Czech Republic and is tefal coated for easy cleaning.
It is cheaper to run than a full sized oven.
With spiralling electricity prices the Remoska is definitely one to consider.
It is distributed in the UK by Lakeland who have a great reputation for qualty and after sales service.

Russell Hobbs Mini Kitchen Mini Oven 13824
Russel Hobbs is an excellent name in Kitchen appliances
A great mini oven with 2 hobs on the top.
This one is actually big enough to cook a medium sized chicken or a roast joint.
It has 2 Oven Shelves and a baking tray with removable handles.
You can boil or fry things on the top hobs but do not place this mini oven too high or it will be difficult to use the hobs and there would be a danger of scalding then if you slip.
Its fine at standard kitchen worktop height though.
Casseroles and roast,reheated meals and pizzas are great from the oven (fan assisted)
The grill works well but read the instructions !
You have to keep the door open when using the grill or it switches itself off.
A couple of minor niggles - the white exterior shows the dirt quickly and needs kitchen cleaner to clean it.It is self cleaning inside though.
There is no way to turn off the interior lamp without switching off the whole oven.
(I guess you could just take the bulb out ...) A switch would have been nice.
When new the protective coating on the heating elements needs to be burnt off.
This is very smelly and MUST be done next to an open window (this is not unusual with mini-ovens)
The glass door is see-through but not from certain angles (just move round a bit !)
Hobs take quite a while to heat up.
The Russell Hobbs is well made and should last for a long ,long time !
It is better made than most of the other mini ovens I looked at and it has the advantage of having a slightly larger oven than most of them.
These are the two I have tested and they were both great and eminently suitable for a single person with limited space for a cooker.
