Review of Two Combination Microwave Ovens

The Panasonic NN-CF778SBPQ Combination Microwave oven is a well made, durable and reliable oven, which although at the higher end of the microwave price range is well worth the money. Unlike most combi - micros it does not have a turn table, meaning that you can actually fit more in. The oven can be used for all cooking methods from roasting and baking to steaming, as well as defrosting and grilling and gives perfect results every time. 

There is a full temperature range of 100C-250C, and combination cooking can reduce the cooking times by half to two thirds, depending on the food. The door opens downwards and forms a very useful ledge on which to rest any dishes either before or after cooking. This model also comes with energy saving functions: it reduces energy consumption when not operating, in addition to energy saving advantages common to all inverter ovens. When using combination (micro + convention) programmes you can use the supplied metal oven shelf and if only using it as a conventional fan oven cooking can be done on two levels. The quartz grill doesn't need any pre-heating so is much more economical than a conventional grill, especially if you just want to quickly brown the top of a shepherds' pie or grill a piece of fish for a few minutes.

Make sure you work out where you are going to position your NN-CF778SBPQ microwave as it has vents on both sides of the machine that must have space between them and adjacent walls, cupboards etc. The oven comes with instruction and recipe book, square enamel shelf, square wire shelf, square glass tray and anti spark ring.

The Sharp R959SLM combination microwave oven offers a wide range of cooking options, combining microwave, convection and grill. This amazing oven allows you to bake grill roast just as you would in a standard oven, but considerably faster. This is a high quality and very stylish combination oven.
The R959SLM has a huge 40 litre capacity and is large enough to cater for any occasion, including cooking a full Christmas dinner! This is made possible by the two shelves that allows you to cook a multitude of dishes and is great if you do ‘batch’ baking. You can even use this oven to ‘prove’ bread as it has a 40 degree setting on its convection oven mode specifically for this purpose.

The quartz grill heats up very quickly and is fast and safe to use, giving great results. It features a double grill function that’s perfect for crisp pizzas straight from frozen. It is easy to clean too!
You can pre-programme up to three different cooking combinations. For example; full micro 20mins followed by combi micro/convection 25mins followed by grill/micro 55mins etc. You can use this feature with any combination of cooking/time. The oven has eco features including the power save standby and the very quick preheat which is much faster than a standard oven.
Be aware, though, this is quite a large piece of equipment and is very heavy. Make sure that you measure carefully before you purchase to make sure you have the room for this imposing appliance.
All round the Sharp R959SLM combination microwave oven is an marvellous piece of kitchen equipment and could be used to replace the conventional oven in many households. You can cook everything in it that you would put in a 'normal' oven - only faster, cleaner and much more conveniently. Instruction booklet, turntable and 2 shelves are included.

Critique of Three Solo Microwave Ovens

Solo Microwaves are basic microwave ovens that are ideal for small families who have light usage. Daewoo, Sanyo and Sharp all manufacture these sorts of microwaves and this article checks out the characteristics of these basic microwave cookers.

The Daewoo KOR6N9RR is a spectacular retro designed microwave cooker. It is small in looks but readily takes a dinner plate within its 20 litre capacity. The oven has a convincing 800 watt output and user friendly controls, for the 5 power levels,auto cook, one touch menus and auto-defrost. There's extra elements of a child safety lock and a kitchen timer.
The Daewoo Solo oven operates a conclave reflector system that ensures even cooking results. The classy design can be matched with other kitchen appliances in the range, for example a kettle and toaster to offer a coordinated look to your kitchen.
The solitary concern with this efficient microwave oven appears to be the rather 'tinny' effect and the noise and vibration which seem to detract from the all-around good evaluation of this appliance. Overall, though a striking, popular and efficient microwave cooker. The package includes an user guide, turn-table and warranty card. This microwave oven comes in purple, black and red.

The SanyoEM-S2297V is a middle rank basic microwave at a terrific price. It is stylishly designed with black mirror finish and silver and in spite of the little size has a 17 litre interior space that can comfortably hold a dinner plate.
The microwave oven is touch controlled with 10 powerlevels and has 700 watts of power. An additional aspect is the 'weight and speed' defrost setting. This microwave cooker has enough features to give you thorough management of your cookery without overwhelming the operation with intricate settings.

The SanyoEM-S2297V has a bright clock and timer and first-class inside light and is muted and smooth in operation. A child lock affords an further safety feature. This microwave is extremely lightweight and whilst this is a satisfactory feature when moving it round, it frequently causes troubles on polished worktops as the cooker may move as the door is opened.
Though perhaps overly small for a large family or strenuous use this microwave is excellent for single folk or families with lighter use. 

The Sharp R270SLM 20ltr Solo Microwave in Silver is a compact and stylish oven that is excellent for small families or couples. It has a 20 litre capacity and comfortably takes a normal sized plate. It has 10 power settings with 8 auto-cook menus and 3 express cook menus. There are additionally 2 defrost functions.

The Sharp R270SLM is a standard microwave oven that looks great in your kitchen and does what it says on the can! There's no clock, but this isn't usually a difficulty with so many kitchen machines having a clock nowadays.

It is light and this might be a problem on a number of shiny  surfaces since it could move along a big when opening the door. The controls are easy to use and cleaning is easy with no messy difficult toaccess places. Overall a goodserviceable basic microwave oven. The Sharp Solo Microwave is also for sale in White.

Browning foods is advantageous when you are baking or roasting, as it gives the food a look of being done rather than anemic and unappetizing as with microwave cooking.

Microwave cooker have invariably needed special care over the choosing of cookware and this is furthermore the situation when cuisine by the convection method as plastic cookware would be affected by the high temperature and metal cannot be used in a microwave!

The technical knowledge behind microwave cooking has in fact been around for approximately 70 years.

They believed that the microwaves or radiation could ooze out and produce sickness. Howbeit, most studies have proved that even if leaks are conceivable, the quantity is so low that there are no hazards to health.....

What does a microwave do to cook food?
Microwaves are absorbed by the liquid in the food, producing fast agitation of these liquid molecules - in fact vibrating them till they get heated! Foods with a rich fat or sugar volume cook more rapidly in a microwave as they are more active and effect greater friction.
