Grill Microwaves
A grill microwave is essentially a solo microwave oven, but with the addition of a grill mechanism, which will enable you to carry out all of the regular microwave functions, as well as grilling food.
It is not possible to brown or crisp food in a normal microwave, and a built in grill microwave enables you to carry out tasks usually reserved for regular grills fitted to your main kitchen oven.
The advantages of purchasing a Grill Microwave Oven
The main advantages of having this grill feature built in to your microwave oven are that:
- It is easier to clean than a traditional oven.
- It helps to give a more even grilling finish due to the rotating turntable inside the microwave.
- It provides handy access to a grill in a relatively small kitchen appliance – if you don’t have room or access to a regular oven, then this is a handy substitute.
- Enables you to cook foods that regular solo microwaves can’t, such as pizzas, crispy bacon, toast and fish fingers.
- It also provides all of the regular microwave functions, enabling you to defrost, heat up and cook foods, such as soups, casseroles, stews and baked potatoes.
The Disadvantages of purchasing a Grill Microwave Oven
The disadvantages of this kitchen appliance are that:
- It costs slightly more on average than a solo microwave oven.
- It doesn’t feature a regular convection oven, and such is not suitable for baking – for this you would need to purchase a more expensive combination microwave.
Grill microwaves are a versatile addition to any work or home kitchen, enabling you to get a crispy and brown finish to your food, that was previously impossible using a standard solo microwave.
Prices for this kitchen appliance in the UK typically start at around £60, and increase depending on the brand name and quality of materials and finish used.
