New Turbo Oven Suggestions

Lacehim

Well it's that time again. My turbo oven power cord is looking a bit dangerous so I think it's time to say bye bye.

Does anyone have any suggestions where to buy a good quality halogen (I like the light) TO that pumps out enough heat for the big roasts?

I had one of the Kmart ones: $39. It lasted 13 months before becoming noticeably less hot despite my cleaning and de-chaffing.

I have a feeling mine is going the same way really. 600gm roasts have been getting longer and longer despite a pre-heat 🙁

My Coretto has been churning out weekly 750 gram batches for 5 years with no sign of slowing down. The DMM failed a few months ago, inconvenient, $80 and a few days, I was up and running again. Did I mention I love my Coretto.

Thanks KK, PM replied. I ordered one. I had visions of Mark (AM) telling me off the other day when I saw the insulation had come away at the plug! Best to be on the safe side! I suggest you post it up, the free shipping was a great offer! 🙂

I got one as well All those 1 kg roasts have taken its toll from the current TO Cheers KK

Could I have a PM too... Mine is fine at the moment but approaching the 18 month mark 🙂

Sorry to hear your on the crook list Brett, do you know what cased the Labradorititis?

cosmic_couple22

Or was it Labyrinthitis, which is never as cute as Labradorititis.

Think you've nailed it CC, rolls eyes, did you mean to say as acute as Labradoritis. LOL. Bring back the smilies.

No problem Get well soon and we can plan that audition another time Now for the explanation of the condition Symptoms of labyrinthitis begin quickly and can be quite intense for several days. ... Symptoms can include: dizziness. vertigo. loss of balance. nausea and vomiting. tinnitus (ringing or buzzing in your ear) loss of hearing in the high-frequency rangein one ear. difficulty focusing eyes.

Yep, that's the one. Bloody aweful at first especially with Addisons as an underlying condition. I'm feeling much better now and can even sleep in any position I choose... I just have to be a bit careful with how fast I turn my head. I got the virus from my 3yo who got it from a friend of ours who is a nurse. Didn't affect her so badly (week or so off colour and a but hung-over like): She's young and fit!! Didn't affect him so badly: he's very young and subscribes to the 'no brain no pain' organisation... despite initial signs of prodigious intelligence.... Go figure. Me, it hit me moderately... the lovely doctor gave me a nice big course of stemetal and with doubled meds I fared better than the many others who also presented at the local GP! Bloody aweful sickness, avoid it if you can! Saved a fortune on grog for a post new-years party and still experienced the after-effects 😉 I reckon the DD looks the same as the Kmart versions. Having said that, free delivery for folk who don't live 900 metres from Kmart makes it a good option!

Pleased to hear your on the mend Brett, bad luck it struck over the Christmas new year period, guess any time would be a bugger but over the holiday period even more so. Was unaware of the Addisons, is it under control?

Lacehim

Looks the same as my Homeart one it's replacing too. Saves fighting fold in the shop and carting a big box home with the kiddies in toe at least. I haven't seem them this cheap for a while though, and the TO isn't listed on Homeart's website.

Brett_H

Thaks guys for the concern. Agree completely L... Shops and kids are not fun at the moment with the 'back-to-school' crowds. Hey DB, my Addisons was diagnosed 2 and a bit years ago and is largey under control. I had a crisis brought on by an acute bout of gastro last year but I'm trying to take take care of myself and trying to avoid as many of the dreaded lurgies as possible... With young kids... And working in a school environment... Lol

Lacehim

Well at 8.15am today my TO arrived. 🙂 Not a bad order process! Ordered Friday, Despatched Monday, Arrived Wednesday am 🙂 The TO looks exactly like the one it replaces, just a different brand. I might also modify the old guard and see if that improves the roast times at all.
