Glass oven

My newest homewares-experiment is with an alternate type of oven, a glass oven called an 'Easy Cook'. People who use them seem to love them and I thought it might be an energy efficient way to cook without heating up the kitchen (and my studio!) in summer. So far I have only cooked one thing, a plum tart which cooked well. (It is fun being able to watch the cooking process through the glass.)

The glass oven does not seem to need to be as hot as a normal ovens, perhaps because a reasonably strong fan forces air around the food all the time the oven is on. Next I will try veges or a meat loaf or scones.
