Product Information

Microwaves come in all sizes, ranging from small, compact models to large, bulkier machines that will take up much more space. These models are proven to be energy efficient and come from brands that stay fault-free for longer, so shouldn't need replacing very often. Some models at this price will come with other extras such as delayed start and multi-stage cooking (to automatically switch between heating modes such as defrosting and heating). Auto cook programs Enter the type and weight of food, and the microwave will automatically set the time and power needed to cook it. Premium models can offer up to 30 programs, including specialised ones for popcorn or roasts.

Pizza function This tends to work better with grill or combi microwaves, as the grill helps to crisp the pizza base and brown the top. Some models come with ‘crisper plates’ which can also be used for quiches. You'll get better results if you use a frozen pizza and pre-heat the oven and plate for four or five minutes first.Our Eco Buy models are also excellent at the key tasks, scoring 65% and above, so you get the best of both worlds. Despite their relatively straightforward purpose, microwaves can vary considerably in terms of the accessories and features they offer.

or Low The best choice for defrosting large items such as whole poultry and fish, and dense meat. Also good for softening butter or melting chocolate. Cooking certain foods at full power will dry them out or burn the outside before the middle is done. And you’ll use more energy doing so, too. If your turntable is on the grimy side, simply remove it and wash with warm soapy water – or pop it in the dishwasher if your model permits. Auto reheat Enter the weight of the food and the microwave automatically calculates how long it should take to reheat. Better microwaves let you select what it is you're cooking, rather than giving one cooking time for every type of food. Clear labelling Controls should be clearly labelled with a large font size. Digital displays should be brightly lit and easy to read. If you're visually impaired, consider one that beeps when you make a selection.If this seems like too much effort, look for a microwave with auto programs that'll set the time and power level for you. Switch it off at the wall Touch-panel controls These take far less effort to press than push-button controls. If you do go for button controls, they should be large, easy to press and not too close together. or Medium Low Simmer foods such as chilli, sauces, rice and cereal on this setting. You can also use it to defrost smaller items - many microwaves use Medium Low as the ‘auto defrost’ setting. These tips will help you to save even more money when using your microwave.
