Default Microwave Replacment.

My Microwave is on its way out.

I am interested in suggestions for a replacement.

Bog Standard.
Or
With a Grill
Or
With a Grill Plus Oven.

TIA

Bog standard can be had very cheaply.

The grills in microwaves are not that powerful. About the only thing
I use mine for is doing a macaroni cheese combined with the microwave,
but that's probably less often than once a year.

Ovens can be OK, but microwaves don't have stay-clean liners like many
ovens do, so they can be difficult to clean if you bake the crud on.
I use the oven for plate warming, and just occasionally cooking food
if I overflow the main oven.

Have you already got an oven and/or a grill?

Thanks Andrew.
Just as I thought.

We have the later, which provides an handy backup for our usual
facilities, but having said that we have needed a backup in the six
years since we bought it. Backup plan C, would be to use the facilites
in the caravan.

How about a microwave with four 250W magnetrons, each in a different
position in the oven wall? You would have genuine control and there
would be far fewer hotspots.
