KitchenAid KMQFX33910 33 Litre Combination Microwave Oven - Stainless Steel

Product Information

A broadcaster, raconteur and public speaker, Duncan used to be on telly loads, but an unfortunate incident put a stop to that, so he now largely contents himself with telling people, "I used to be on the TV, you know." When buying Microwaves you should firstly think about the brand that you’re buying. In fact we often recommend that before you get into the detail of choosing a product, you should firstly spend some time researching the various brands. It’s also worth considering writing up your own list of brands that you’d be happy to buy. The Milky Plant is an all-in-one blender and strainer with one job – to make excellent plant milk– but how does it compete with cheaper alternatives? Self cleaning. This does an okay job, but cannot be compared to a self-cleaning oven. You put a bowl of water in and hit go, so effectively you are steam cleaning the oven interior. It's fine for regular maintenance. If you want inspiration for an update to the rest of your kitchen's cooking appliances, we also have handy guides to the best oven, best range cooker and best induction hob. For now though, we've tested a range of microwaves and combi ovens and decided that these are the best microwaves the market has to offer right now.

KitchenAid KMQFX33910 33L Combination Microwave Oven

Forced air cooking. AKA a convection fan oven. This works well, and is very handy for doing roast spuds when your main oven is already full of meat, and/or is running on a lower temperature than is needed for potatoes. It does a surprisingly long time to preheat however, so you need to factor that into your cooking. I've had the KitchenAid KMQFX33910 for a year or so now and have used it a lot, but there are still functions buried in there that I've yet to try. Softening chocolate, for instance, or defrosting fish – it has a programme specifically for that. It's probably the best microwave you can buy, but to be fair, that is because it is far more than a microwave. With a grill and fan heater built in, it's a true combi oven. There are, as you know, many different brands offering Microwaves, so our advice is just take your time to write up your list of brands you’d be happy to buy, and use that list to filter your search when shopping online. It’s a great way of really cutting down the number of results to look through.The Kitchenaid KMQFX 33910 can crisp fry using minimal oil, with bacon being a prime target for the appliance. It's also very adept at baking, and can handle delicate cooking challenges like buns and cakes with vigour. At the same time it lets you get your pre-bake time ingredients spot-on thanks to a soft melt function. The other problem is more… problematic. The plastic turntable that supports the main cooking plate is ridiculously flimsy. This is rather unforgivable, considering it's one of the most important elements of a microwave oven. Almost the very first time I cleaned it, one of its little wheels came off in my hand, while another one went wobbly. Panasonic appliances are generally very reliable and the NN-CS89LBBPQ doesn’t look to be any different. Special' menu. This is probably more useful for the target audience, and includes settings for proving dough, melting chocolate, softening or melting butter and more. Very handy indeed. Also includes a 'keep warm' setting, to hold food at between 60º and 80ºC

As you can see, this is a pretty handsome fella, at least so far as microwaves go. The handle and knob are both large – the handle is HUGE – tactile and eminently grab-able. The internal cavity is large for a microwave at 22 x 39.5 x 37 cm (H x W x D) – that's 33 litres in all. The overall machine is not too enormous at 37 x 49 x 54 cm (H x W x D). Admittedly that's a fair old chunk of worktop space. This free-standing microwave combi oven has two possible uses: second oven in a large kitchen or only oven in a small one, and it seems to me it would work well in both roles. But mainly the former.We covered the importance of choosing a great brand, earlier in the quality section of this review. Material is another great specification to help you determine if a product is likely to be good quality and durable.
