Microwave Oven Guide: Solo, Grill or Convection?

A microwave oven is brilliant for reheating, defrosting and quick meals. Knowing the types helps you choose the right one.

Solo microwave

The simplest and most affordable type. It heats, reheats and defrosts food. Ideal if you mostly warm up leftovers and cook simple dishes.

Grill microwave

Adds a grill element for browning and crisping, great for kebabs, sandwiches and tikka-style dishes.

Convection microwave

Works like a small oven too, so you can bake cakes, cookies and roast chicken. Best for those who love baking, and usually the most expensive.

Capacity

20 litres suits a couple or a small family. 25-30 litres is better for bigger families and larger dishes.

Safe use

• Use only microwave-safe glass, ceramic or plastic containers.
• Never put metal or foil in a solo microwave.
• Cover food to prevent splatter and stir halfway for even heating.
