Hey Lawlz:

This is the approximate one at the approximate price I paid:

I can't find the exact one I bought. I think it sold out. In fact, it looks like several of the different ones I reviewed have sold out and been replaced by other offers. But, this one is certainly the same OEM model with the same accessories. The control panel and heating/air element is the same, except for one thing. I does not have the 6 preset buttons that I have on mine. Also, my control panel is in Greek. I chose the one I did because it had a digital controller and it included all of the accessories. (I was especially interested in the extension ring, which would come in handy if I was baking a big object.)

If you would like to see some YouTube movies on this thing working, just check out the links on the earlier posting I did on this thread.

I will say that one of the preset modes I used had a pleasant little surprise. It actually cycled the halogen light on and off toward the end of the cooking time, in order to regulate temperature. I'm not sure if this is an absolutely necessity, yet. My unit has a baking preset on it. I'm imagining that in this mode, it does all sorts of interesting tricks. There are some models of this type of oven that have a simple time dial and a temperature dial. (I might have bought one of these, since they were cheaper. But, I found that those models usually have very few accessories with them and the cost of buying them separately would actually cost more.)

Folks, I'll take Tiger's advice and start a separate thread called "Convection Oven Discoveries". We can switch to that for future info. See you there.

NOTE: FOR ADDITIONAL INFO, PLEASE SWITCH TO THE "CONVECTION OVEN DISCOVERIES" THREAD.

Good Idea, Tiger. I'll do that. I'll also try to post some pictures.

I just sent some pics back home from a trip to Carrefour. Two of the more scary things that I sent were the dry cured pig faces and (what I think is) a BBQ'd rabbit in the hot deli case. (Think Martha would have any interest in those, Mag?) :))

Damn, Silvio! Sorry to hear about that, man! I'll keep an eye out for your ride.

Hey Folks!

I said I'd get back you once I got my convection oven working. I ordered this thing on Taobao and received it Saturday. I've got to say that it didn't take long for me to fall in love with this thing.

It has a small footprint on the counter and can easily be stowed away, but the interior is ENORMOUS. You could easily bake a 15 pound turkey in it. All I had to cook was this slab of boneless pork. I butterflied it to 1", rubbed it with salt, pepper, and garlic, and stuck it in this thing. I used a present for roasting meat that took 13 minutes. This thing rocks! It cooked this piece of meat perfectly. It left a nice, slight brown on top and I could see that not much juice was lost.

The next mission for this thing is going to be baking something. But, I can already say that its worth the $50 I paid.

Damn...just when I thought I lived in a really nice and safe place! :)
