Page 2 of 2 As with most, if not all combo
cooking machines, there is not turntable to put your food on. Using the
microwave on its own was a minor disappointment. With just 700W this is
a little underpowered for our liking (we are used to microwaves with a
much higher power setting). But its saving grace is its combo cooking.
Sticking in a couple of potatoes from raw can produce really good,
crispy jacket potatoes in around 20 minutes.As for it being more nutritious, it would be hard for us to tell but the jacket potatoes had a pleasant taste to them, so the oven didn't ruin them, which is always a good point in an oven's favour. Fish fingers also did well in our test. Although we learnt it was better not to use the rack in the tray as the fish fingers would sag in the gaps when cooked from frozen. Rice cooked well in the oven although as the microwave was a little underpowered, this took a little longer to cook through. If you are looking for a combi-microwave oven/grill then this has to be on anyone's short list. Prices are around £275. Rating: 8/10
