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...

Review of Delonghi DMX70 Microwave Grill AND Convectio

microwave,oven,grill combination

Advantages: Quick no mess cooking
Disadvantages: A bit on the heavy side (19kg)

...Sanyo super showerwave EM D7750 This is a combination microwave oven with super showerwave, fan oven and power grill. The microwave is a 900 w with further power settings available of 750w, 450w and 350w The oven has a maximum control setting of 230c reducing by increments of 10 to a minimum of 100c The grill puts out 1200w and the overhaul timer can be set up to a maximum of 90 minutes. The oven capacity is .8cu ft which I find ample for a good sized roast or poultry. It is a bit on the heavy side weighing in at 19kg. (38lbs) The controls are touch operated and are clearly marked. The control panel features an LSD display which displays all of your imputs plus a clock. There is an instant access section which, when selected, allows the built in computer to take over the cooking wanting only the weight of the food to be...

Review of Sanyo EM-D7750 Microwave

A Lean mean grilling machine

Advantages: Healthy way to cook
Disadvantages: could be better designed for cleaning

...The George Foreman Health Grill This is my second George foreman I have owned the first one lasted for years and I replaced it with this model a year ago. The George foreman is a great invention. It takes about three minutes to heat up before placing your items under to cook. Appearance This grill is silver so fitting in with most modern kitchens. It does have George Foreman's signature plastered across the front and the lean, mean grilling machine logo. It has double sided grills that are angles downwards so that the fat runs out. It does come with a spatula specially designed to help you lift the item off the grill without scratching. The cord is relatively long for an electrical appliance and winds round the bottom for easy storage. What can you cook? Just about anything that you can...

Review of George Foreman 13350 Health Grill

A handy worktop grill that makes healthy eating a little easier .

Advantages: -
Disadvantages: -

...This is a product I've now been using for about 6 years . I frequently mention it in my food reviews, as I cook with it very often, so I was amazed to suddenly realise that I'd never reviewed the product itself . I was given this as a present from my parents shortly after I moved into the house I live in now . I think at the time they were currently quite a new product - I certainly remember having seen them advertised on television before I got one, so was delighted to get this little gadget. As you can see from the product image, the main body of the product is a silver effect, and there is a colourful lide on the bun warmer section - this actually comes in a variety of colours, mine was pink. On this you see the words Lean Mean Fat Reducing Grilling Machine . Opening it up, it has two non stick grill plates with ridges down them...

Medina Grill, Norwich

Advantages: Great food, very nice waitresses, quiet
Disadvantages: pricing structure, loud music

...The Medina or "Med" as is plastered on the outside in neon lights is a quaint Morrocan restaurant on the Prince Of Wales Road in Norwich. Every six or so months we have an 'old skool' night in which we try to get good food, good conversation (if you can call good conversation talking about partners, mortgages, work and life - a far cry from our college days - but I suppose we all have to grow up at some point!!) and a few drinks. We try and go somewhere different each time. Last Friday was my turn to organise the meal. I walk past the "Med" every day and I have always been intrigued. I love a good steak so I thought a grill restaurant would probably be a good option. When trying to book the restaurant I thought I would use the net to get the number. Confusion - I could not find the "Med" any where. I walked past it everyday yet...

Review of Medina Grill Restaurant Norwich

Camping Party Grill, Ramsey move over

Advantages: Price, quality, easy to use
Disadvantages: may be a little small for extended use.

...My mother bought one of the Campingaz Part Grills from Germany on her visit earlier this year. She spent 5 minutes on the phone trying to tell us what it was and I still didn't understand what she was on about. I was a little apprehensive as I already have a lot of camping gear including a hob type gas cooker so I wasn't sure how much use it would be for me. At the time I know she paid 35 EUROS for it but I have seen them over here in Millets outlets for £29.99 for the hob and about £7 for the gas can. There is another model available but its between 60 and 70 quid so it gets a little to expensive without many benefits. THE HOB AND ASSEMBLY The instructions were fairly good, providing enough instruction to get you going but not enough to explain everything. I was a little disappointed with these and thought that some more...

Review of Campingaz Party Grill

Ready for a grilling?

Advantages: reduces fat
Disadvantages: cleaning

...Over the years I have tried many diets, eating fads and cooking methods in hope of one day having that perfect body. One day I saw in a shop the ?Baby George foreman grill? on a special offer for £19.99, most places stocked them at around £29.00 at the time so this was a bargain not to be missed. The grill its self was silver in colour with a clear plastic lid on top of the main grill lid, this gives a two tier affect, the plastic lids come in a verity of colours, green, blue, red, purple and silver as well as the clear one so they will go well in most kitchen colour schemes. The idea of the top plastic lid is to place you bread, burger buns, pitta breads. croissants etc to warm while you are cooking, thus making good use of the heat. The top and bottom grill plates are joined together with a floating hinge so that it can take many...

Review of George Foreman Lean Mean Fat Reducing Grilling Machine

Good quality microwave and grill in one

Advantages: Stylish design, wide range of settings
Disadvantages: Gets hot when using grill

...I have had this combination microwave/grill for several years and have always been very happy with it. I bought it from Amazon.co.uk for £130 and it is a stylish brushed stainless steel design which I am sure will last me for many many years. The glass turntable is removable for easy cleaning, and it is also easy to wipe it inside. The microwave/grill is very reliable and I have never had any problems with it. It has a cooling fan which switches on automatically for a few minutes after you have used it. It is family-sized and significantly bigger than a basic size microwave. Importantly, it is big enough to take a whole Dominos Pizza box! The microwave/grill has easy to use buttons on the front. There are buttons for the various heat settings, specific food settings, and to select whether you want the microwave, grill or both. To...

LG SolarDom Microwave Oven, Grill and fan oven

Advantages: reduced cooking time, microwave, grill and fan oven in one
Disadvantages: none

...As a general rule in our house, all the kitchen related stuff is left to my wife. Not because I'm a male chauvinist but because she's a great cook. But recently our microwave oven stopped working so we bought a new one and suddenly I've taken an interest in cooking. The reason? Well the reason is that we chose the innovative LG SolarDom Microwave Oven as a replacement Calling it a microwave oven doesn't do it justice. This high-tech appliance is also a grill and a fan assisted convection oven. Okay so combination ovens aren't new but this is not like any other combination oven. For starters, in addition to the normal method of heating an oven (i.e. passing an electric current through a filament to produce heat) this oven also produces heat by using Halogen bulbs. There are a number of advantages to this. The most...

Review of LG MP 9482 S

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...
