Built In Microwave + Eye Level Grill
Has anyone been here before?
Kitchen refurbishment is under way... One of the requirements was for a Microwave and some sort of eye level grill. (NB. Don't want them in the same unit). Plan was to put our existing Panasonic NN-T591W Microwave into the lower portion of a tall oven housing. Then, above the microwave to put a Neff Compact oven B1724 (http://www.neff.co.uk/B1724.html). However we have recently been told by a friend that the grill on their Neff oven is very slow to heat up. Given that the main reason for going to this oven is the "eye level grill", and that it's B expensive we are wondering if there is a better way. I have considered the commercial grills such as... http://www.lincat.co.uk/prodfinalview.asp?item=LGT But that is fraught with problems re clearance space required etc. They are not really designed to be built in... Anyone got any good ideas? Thanks, Roy |

A second microwave, a combi model with grill function, set at eye level. MBQ |

Hi Quite a few of the manufacturers offer high speed grills. Hotpoint call theirs 'Solarplus', and I'm sure Bosch et. al. do something similar. They heat up in under a minute - often much less.

I'd definitely make it a microwave/fan oven combi unit, pointless to get just a plain nuke nowadays. NT |

There are always compromises made along the way in the design.. Still - I'll think about your point... Many thanks, Roy |

It needs to be a "compact" oven to go above the microwave... Hence the Neff B1724 (http://www.neff.co.uk/B1724.html). It's quite slim - height wise... Thanks, Roy |

The message
from "RzB" contains these words: Hmm... I have this thing about multi function gadgets... There are always compromises made along the way in the design.. You've only to look at the human penis. -- Skipweasel Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain. |

Definitely seems to apply to printer/scanner/teamaker gizmos but one of the longest lasting kitchen gadgets we've had is a Panasonic microwave/oven/grill, now 14 years old and never gone wrong. It wasn't cheap, but it has been well worth the money. MBQ |

MBQ Hmm - interesting - we had a Panasonic microwave for 18 years! One of their very early ones - it was a sad loss when it finally passed away! How well does the grill bit work on your machine? Do you use it a lot? Heat up fast? Any drawbacks? Being a mocrowave it's probably a little smaller than the Neff oven we have been considering... The neff cooking volume is 45L, with a width of about 45cm... Quite a lot bigger than our current Panasonic microwave (26L) Many thanks for your response, Roy |
