I have never had a halogen but I used to have a mini oven for my tent. As  a solo camper it was fine and I could cook just about anything in it including toast. I can't remember the size of mine now but it was a Cookworks from Argos costing about £30.00 at the time. It wasn't the smallest one you can get but not the largest either. My opinion was that cooking for 1 or 2 would be fine but you may struggle cooking for a family.

It may well be that a halogen oven would be better as they would be easier to clean and easier to see how the food is doing inside. Size-wise I am not so sure, but many people use them and seem to be able to cook full meals for their families.

Another consideration is the overall size. A mini oven is quite large on the outside even though the oven inside is comparatively small. A halogen may be better in this respect.
