My new microwave oven

"I purchased this microwave oven as a replacement for my previous combination convention oven which finally passed away after more than thirty years of faithful service.

At first I was rather disappointed because I discovered that, although it can function as an oven, it is not a convection (fan assisted) oven. In addition I also discovered that it does not combine microwave with oven at the same time, as my old one did.

However, I have now had it for a week and have experimented with its various combinations i.e. grill, grill and microwave, microwave and steam and using the 'panacrunch' tray and I have to admit that I have been pleasantly surprised with the results

Now, instead of pre-heating the oven I can use the microwave and grill together with the 'panacrunch' tray to cook chicken goujons, oven chips and breaded fish in half the time.

The fact that the oven is not fan assisted and that it takes much longer to come to temperature than my previous one is now irrelevant.

I am still getting used to the fact that there is no turntable and it seems strange when I am cooking something that the dish isn't rotating after watching it revolve for so many years.

There is one improvement that would be helpful and that would be a louder 'beep' to indicate when the cooking has finished. It sounds five times but if you are not in the room, or you have music playing etc., it is easily missed.

So far then I am really pleased with my purchase and hope that it may give me many years of service as my old one did."

Superb - Much more than just a microwave

"Absolutely brilliant piece of kit. Microwaves, grills, roasts all perfectly with a wide range of auto programs which work extremely well.

We were a little sceptical about the lack of a turntable but the Inverter program works even better, with anything we tried cook perfectly and with the combo programs, very quickly while the extra space the flatbed design offers is a real bonus.

We cooked a full roast chicken at the weekend, easily the best results I've tasted and in half the time it took in our electric oven. The steamer function is really novel works well for fish. Not the cheapest but worth every penny. I don't think we'll ever use our main oven again! "

Good Product

"We love our new Panasonic Combi Microwave. We’ve had one for a long time but the door was coming apart. This is a lovely machine and we like the fact it doesn’t have any round metal trays or glass plate it just has a flat base and a PanacrunchPan. We also love how the door opens from the top down like a conventional oven "

Combi microwave

"It’s a great bit of kit... a bit of learning required to get used to all the different functions, getting there slowly and am sure it will be a good purchase as I have no longer got a conventional oven.

I really like the flat bed base, without that spinning plate of older microwaves

The steam function is good for veg and also cleans the oven with the steam "
