I deliberately avoided more traditional ovens because the achievable ramp up rate looked so much better with a halogen oven.
It also has great visibility if you don't mind wearing sunglasses (removing the diffuser made it BRIGHT).
Best of all, this cost me just 25 euro's shipped to my front door.. that can pass by the missus without causing a frowny face
So, I put the platform in and covered it in foil, the oven's effective volume has now been halved. Curious to see what that will do.
Next test will be to run the oven through the triac at full blast to see if the heat-sink is adequate. Need to find a cable with a plug socket
I can cannibalize (or just a spare wall box).
