Are you a fan oven user? I like to bake my sausages so bunged a few in the oven earlier but forgot that I had put them on the fan setting. In what seemed a micro second I had burnt offerings on my plate. If you have one of these things do you use it. Has it made your cooking life easier or do you steer well clear of it?

What's an oven? Is it as small as a microwave? Do you have to clean it? If burns things, why bother?
Just wondering as I pass through here........................................*happy dancing, can you guess why?*

Hullo, my little happy dancer! Why, I can feel my own feet starting to tap out the most jiggedy rhythm! Must be catching!
Now, as to the oven. I'm currently cooking a lovely roast beast, pot roast style, well Nova pot roast style anyway. It should be a delectable feast! I don't know that I'm a good cook, but I'm damn sure a lucky one! :)

Hi P1kef1sh, I have a fan assisted oven and providing you turn the temperature down by about 10 and adjust cooking tiome by the same it cooks okay, in fact I think I would struggle to burn something especially sausages so well done you, LOL. I cooked sausages the other day in the oven but usually I use the grilling machine for them. Better luck next time! Ellie :D

I have baked my sausages using my microwave,toaster oven and my George Foreman Grill. I love them in my George Foreman grill
it makes them taste so good and makes them faster and easier cleanup.
Add some BBQ sauce and I am in heaven.
.yum! good!

Well that is one good thing about being a grown up you can eat whatever you want for breakfast. Or you can just eat a sausage egg mcmuffin made with a sausage patty,slice of cheese,egg,and a English muffin. I make these sometimes and the whole holler always wants one or more each I think that is why I stopped making them so much cause when I did I had to make enough for eveyone..but they are ohh so good in eh morning with a hash brown and a cup of coffee.

Good morning Piky,well with the credit crunch now in full flow,and the chitchat that reports an impending recession,there are stll a few things in this life that you simply cannot compromise on..one of them being...the humble sausage...originating from Europe.If my grammar isnt too hot...take no notice ive been up since five am ..poorly dog..bless him..Or if you wish we can discuss assisited fan ovens..now my oven is just a tad ancient,but it does all that it has to do,but I was thinking of getting a thermometer to test the temperature,but when I viewed them on Ebay.lol..well no way..but my oven is not a fan assisted..but yes they heat quickly,an indeed cook quickly!and black snorkers (sausages)have frequently reared their ugly heads..but I scrape them and pop some gravy on top,no one would ever know..erm..but you have different tastes to me,im afraid that I like to fry mine,along with a few sliced onions,a drop of sugar on the onions to caramellise the onions..mmm..OH and I pierce the skins first too..but its a good job we are all very different isnt it?

Let's talk poorly doggies Ruby. What's the problem? Maybe a few more sausages in that direction might help. Grilled, baked or fried. You cannot beat a good butcher's sausage. I don't pr1ck mine as there shouldn't be anything much to come out. I have found a wonderful butcher in Romsey who makes fantastic sausages. Not cheap, but Mmmmm. Heaven on a fork.

Our oven has a fan - but you can't turn it (the fan) on or off - it's just there all the time. Not being the world's most enthusiastic cook, I can't say I've noticed any disadvantage. Not like with the microwave, in which my son regularly bursts eggs and leaves them splattered all over the interior to give me a nice surprise next time I open it!

Hi ya p1kef1sh
I too bake my sausages as you get them cooked all the way around don't you? Well I have a gas double oven but I am thinking of changing it for a fan assisted oven. My mum has one and when I recently visited her in Cornwall it made my life so much easier. I couldn't believe my gas bill recently it was sky high and I think that this might be the answer!

Ours is electric Humbug. But it cooks so fast that I have to be nippy or we have to use the food to draw pictures and not eat! We have a gas hob though, and central heating/hot water. The bills are heart stopping. I think that this time last year we were paying £37 a month and now it's £51!

My last gas bill was nearly £200 for the quater! That was for the winter and my gas heats my water and heaters. I thought that maybe getting a faster oven it might help with my bills in the long run. My mum's oven is electric with a gas hob too! It is much more efficient than my oven!!
