Can anybody point me to a list of suggested cooking times for one of these,
please.

We don't need recipes, just the cooking times.

Evidently the same cooking times as a regular oven, only you don't have
to pre-heat the oven, according to the reviews I've found, such as:

...Well after a year of using a rubbish old electric cooker that would
take nearly 45 minutes to heat the oven, this halogen oven was a miracle
for me. My Dad bought me one for my birthday but it lay in my room for 2
month collecting dust. One day i decided to use it for a couple of
chicken kievs and they turned out amazing, Absolutely perfect cooked all
the way through. I havnt used my electric cooker ever since. The halogen
oven is so easy to use, 1 minute and its pre-heated. Just turn the dial
to wot heat u want, set the time, fling your roast chicken in there and
some vegetables and let it do the work. When the time that you set runs
out the machine switches itself off and stops it from been burnt to
death if you forget about it. Also you can look in to see how its
getting on without letting heat out. Its alot quicker than any normal...

Thanks for looking.
That just about sums up what I've found. I've seen one or two recipes, but
not basic times/weight ratio.
I guess we'll have to use guess work.

The present Mrs.G tried it out today, it cooked a small leg of lamb in an
hour instead of the normal two and a half in a conventional oven. Even then,
it was slightly overcooked.

I couldn't say, I always consume my Halogen raw.

I don't have any cooking times, but I do have a recipe.

Toasted peanut butter and sugar sandwich.

One slice bread
Peanut butter
Sugar

Put the peanut butter on the bread, sprinkle about 1/8 inch (2-3 mm) of
sugar on it. Put in under the broiler for about a minute or so until the
sugar bubbles and starts to carmelize. Cool it for a little bit so the
sugar isn't boiling any more, and has hardened. Don't let Dana see it, she
might find some way to substitute cauliflower for the peanut butter.
