MY MARVELLOUS MONSTER MICROWAVE.

Advantages: Powerful. Good value and ease of use.
Disadvantages: A bit on the large side. Takes some getting used to after a less powerful microwave.

...My microwave is a classic white Proline Micro Chef ST44 which measures 38.2 cm (Height) X 52.6 cm (Width) X 34.5 cm (Depth). It?s quite a large unit, so bear that in mind when deciding whether to buy one. You may not have enough space to accommodate it if you only have a small kitchen, or a low shelf to put it on! It is a standard microwave; this means that it doesn?t crisp, grill or brown your food?it is ideal though for cooking, warming, defrosting and reheating. ****HOW MUCH WILL IT SET ME BACK?*** It's currently selling on the Comet web-site (www.comet.co.uk) for 69.63, plus a standard £3.95 delivery charge. This is a really good price and I would advise you to get it delivered because it is a bit bulky and heavy in the box! ****I?VE GOT THE POWER!****** The power output of this microwave is 950 watts ? This means...

Review of Proline ST44 WH Microwave

Ready steady microwave

Advantages: Quick and doesn't taste too bad.
Disadvantages: not great.

...was quite lucky as they had an offer on of two packs for £!.50 thus saving me 80p so I thought I would at least give these a try. Uncle Bens Express Rice comes in bright orange plastic pouches With a picture of a bowl of rice on the front and cooking instructions on the back as well as the nutritional info and a little recipe suggestion. There is just enough for one person in each pouch. There are many different flavours to choose from. I chose one egg fried rice and one Tomato and basil. It is the latter that I am doing this review on to day. There are two ways to cook these; the first is in the microwave. Just tear a small slit in the pouch and pop in the microwave for two minutes and stand for one minute, then open pouch and serve. The second is cooking in a pan, put 2 tablespoons of boiling water in a pan with the rice and simmer...

TOMMEE TIPPEE CTN MICROWAVE STERILISER

Advantages: easy to use, clean and transport
Disadvantages: more hassle than a steam one

...Although I intended to breastfeed I did not get on with it, however I had already purchased this microwave steriliser to use with expressing equipment. I bought this Tommee Tippee one mainly because it was on offer at Tesco, it was £9.99 instead of £19.99 and came with 3 free bottles and a bottle brush, worth £18 allegedly. WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE? Well,basically it looks like a big plastic bowl with a lid. It holds 4 Tommee Tippee Closer To Nature bottles, or 6 normal bottles and will sterilise in the microwave in just 4 minutes and bottles can be used 5 minutes later It has a hinged lid, which means that condensation runs back inside the bowl and for safety the lid is lockable . The lid also converts into a sterile surface for hygienic bottle preparation which is great. It can also be used as a cold water steriliser. It...

Review of Tommee Tippee Closer To Nature Microwave Steam & Cold Water Steriliser

avent microwave steriliser good money value and easy to use

Advantages: Easy to use, easy to clean, great value for money great to store
Disadvantages: Only holds 4 bottles

...place in your bottles and put it in the microwave for 5 minutes simple as that it is easy to store away and is a great time saver it takes up less room than the bigger models takes less time to do the job it needs to do and takes less time to clean there is no need to de-scale. I would recommed this to anyone having a new baby because time is never in your favour and a child will always scream for a bottle when you dont want them to. If you are limited on space it is perfect for you due to easy storage....

Heinz Microwaveable Baked Beans

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: Expensive and eco unfriendly packaging

...I first heard of Helinz Microwaveable Snap Pots about 4 months ago an noticed them in a corner shop a few days later. They were very expensive compared to tins, the first ones I bought were £1.79, but this was corner shop prices. I did think it quite a good idea and was keen to try them out. First problem was removing the lid, which I though was extremely hard to pull off and felt that anybody suffering from atheritis or such like would probably not be able to actually get the lid off. Anyway once the lid was off I followed the instructions and put it in the microwave. It does warn you that the product will be hot, but it dosn't warn you that some of the contents would be splashed around the microwave. The portion when put on toast was almost exactly right which was good as there was no wastage. The beans tasted exactly how Heinz...

Express Delivery from Uncle Ben and Mr. Microwave

Advantages: Quick and easy to cook. Good choice of flavours.
Disadvantages: A tad pricey.

...Although in general I try to eat freshly cooked foods, working nights lately has meant that I have to eat either sandwiches or microwave meals. One of my staple foods has become Uncle Bens Express Rice. The range itself is rather large with many different flavours to choose from. These include mushroom, Chinese, golden vegetable and Thai style, however my personal favourite has to be the vegetable pilau flavour and this is the one which my review will concentrate on. The product itself is available from all good supermarkets and convenience stores and is normally located in the aisle with the other pasta and rice products. It costs £1.19 in Sainsbury's but is frequently available on special 2 for 1 offers. It is available in pouches of 250g only. It is packaged in a bright orange plastic pouches so it is very hard to miss...

Review of Early Learning Centre Electronic Microwave

Big Microwave,convection and grilling oven

Advantages: could be used as the sole means of cooking in a small kitchen
Disadvantages: Too many different combinations of button presses for each operation

...When our old microwave finally died after 12 years we looked for another one that would let us cook a whole chicken . I checked out our local electrical appliance type shops but couldn't see anything of a similar size to our old microwave. Then I checked our Argos catalogue and found this one. It had everything I was looking for which essentially was the same functionality and size as our old one ,whilst it had the added benefit of being stainless steel inside and out for easy cleaning, longer good looks and no peeling paint. It also had a grilling facility and a convection oven setting which I was not really bothered about but hey they were extras. Being a microwave oven it was bound to be heavy so I looked at Argos online and found that I could order it for home delivery! For some undisclosed reason , buying it online...

The Panasonic NNA574S ≈?≈?≈?≈?≈?≈?≈?≈?≈?≈?≈?≈?≈?≈ Panasonic decided with this microwave to reduce the appliances external dimensions without reducing the capacity of the oven. This was mainly achieved by repositioning the fan system in the roof, rather than at the rear of the oven. This allows 20% more space on the work surface...

Panasonic NE-255 Microwave

Advantages: Easy to use,well built
Disadvantages: thin glass turntable platter

...A nice clean looking finish,easy to use microwave. Setting the timer is simplicity itself with clearly marked controls and the autocook works extremely well for me.The ability to set the power levels to change during a stage cook is a superb idea. The manual is well written and after a few goes is not needed. The microwave seems very well constructed with nice stylish lines and a crisp white finish which will look good in any kitchen. The downside is a very thin plate which I am concerned will break every time it is washed,but hasn't so far because I take extra care. If you are looking for a basic well made microwave you can't go far wrong with this machine.I really am very pleased with this microwave....
