Comments
Good points: Good results for reheating, defrosting, fan cooking, grilling and using the combination programmes. A whole chicken was roasted in only 45 minutes and jacket potatoes were cooked perfectly, with evenly browned crispy skin, using the combined convection and microwave option.
Removable wire shelves are useful so you can batch bake - two trays of 12 fairy cakes were successfully baked using the convention setting. Alternatively the shelves can be removed to fit larger casserole dishes. Quick grill and large grilling area. Useful selection of combination programmes. Easy to use. Retractable controls can be pushed flush with the fascia making it easy to clean. Clear and comprehensive instructions.
Drawbacks: Quite deep so youll need plenty of worktop space. Toast and chicken were not very evenly browned.
