Tower Oven: A Review

Hello all,

 

Last year, I purchased an instant pot duo crisp which is both an air fryer and a pressure cooker. Although, I have used this as an air fryer, as it is a basket, have found it okay for things like chips but for baking, practically unmanageable.

 

I had decided to clear out my old George Foreman grill as I now often just use the air fryer to cook any meat. So I had room to purchase another appliance.

 

I specifically wanted one with shelves and found this little beauty from Tower. 

 

It is a 12L and a manual oven. It’s not too big for my kitchen and has 2 dials at the top, one for time and one for temperature. I have had someone help me put bumpOns on different markers to make it easier to find the exact time and temperature quickly. The shelves are great.

 

It did come with a rotating chip basket and rotisserie components for both joints and for making kebabs. Although haven’t used any of these just yet.

 

The timer is like the old school ones you used to wind up and goes up to 60 minutes and pings when done. The temperature dial goes from 100C to 220C. 

 

There are three shelves which can be removed and a removable drip tray. All is very easy to clean. 

 

The oven door opens downward onto the counter so I’ve got mine pushed back on the counter top.

 

It is safe to say, after cooking some cakes in it the other day, I’m super happy with my purchase.

 

I just find it easier to locate items and check on their cooking progress without catching my arms as I was doing frequently in the deep basket of the duo crisp.

 

Air frying is a type of cooking you really have to adjust to. Things will cook brilliantly each time you cook but you have to get the timing and temperature right which sometimes means a little adjusting. I’m excited to try more things on the baking side of things now and may need to get some new accessories, although thankfully all of my cake tins fit and can let my silicone muffins just stand on the shelves. I will probably be ordering some other accessories for a pizza and muffin tray at some point though, just for ease of use as ordinary oven trays are too small.

 

Tower deliver quickly and Its I was a first time customer, got a lovely discount so keep an eye out for that if you choose to buy directly from tower.
