What are the views - is a grill element worth having? Does it have any
real use after the initial "let's try it" phase

We have two combination microwave grill ovens. One is a Sharp professional
model, built out of girders, stainless steel girders. The other a Belling
domestic model. The grill element gets used in both, a lot. The Sharp has a
programme to cook up to four full English brekkies at a time that makes
good use if the grill, also roast potatoes and roast chicken.

If all you do with a microwave is heat TV dinners then no use at all. If
you like your meat browner and potatoes with crispy bits then essential.
