The adaptable nature of German Pool’s Multi-Purpose Halogen Cooking Pot can serve as an electric grill, conventional oven, rice cooker, egg cooker, electric oven, toaster, stewing pot, bread maker, baking machine, steriliser, steamer, popcorn maker, hotdog maker and etc.

Healthy Cooking

The Multi-Purpose Halogen Cooking Pot requires no oil to cook food, such as potato chips, hash browns, peanuts, cashew nuts, fish and other pickled food products, so that healthier cooking can be achieved. Heat waves produced by the halogen heating element can penetrate directly into food and boil its fat content, which can effectively reduce fat consumption.

Time- & Energy-Efficient

The Multi-Purpose Halogen Cooking Pot transfers heat to food through simultaneous convection, conduction and penetration. As a result, food can be cooked within a much shorter time. Owing to its circular heating element and the patented internal venting system, German Pool Halogen Pot can transfer circulating heat from multidirectional perspective in order to realise energy efficient cooking.

Fumeless Cooking

With German Pool’s Multi-Purpose Halogen Cooking Pot, no oily fumes or radiation will be produced in the cooking process. In addition, its modern and enclosed design will enlarge the culinary boundary from the kitchen to the living room.

Easy Cleaning

German Pool’s Multi-Purpose Halogen Cooking Pot comes with a powerful self- cleaning function. Thanks to the ability to generate high speed circulating heat, the cooking pot can effortlessly decompose tough stains and grease within minutes.
