Before T3, Duncan was a music and film reviewer, worked for a magazine about gambling that employed a surprisingly large number of convicted criminals, and then a magazine called Bizarre that was essentially like a cross between Reddit and DeviantArt, before the invention of the internet. There was also a lengthy period where he essentially wrote all of T3 magazine every month for about 3 years. Combi cooking. You have the choice of microwave + grill – very handy for adding a bit of colour to your speed-cooked food, although curiously, you can't adjust the grill temperature on these modes. There's also and microwave + forced air. This is perhaps a bit pointless unless you are in a huge hurry. Sadly there is no oven + grill setting which is a shame as that setting on other combi ovens is excellent for doing meat and gratin dishes.

If you’re after a small, ridiculously easy-to-use standalone microwave that doesn’t cost much and comes with a good brand name attached, then make this an early port of call. 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. Alternatively, you can input the weight of the food being cooked and the appliance will automatically determine the cooking period and the amount of power required. Come and see our ovens, hobs, refrigerators, wine coolers and other major appliances in a store near you. Ask us questions and explore our ranges in person. If you're shorter on space, move straight on to one of Panasonic's superb range of microwaves. If you're shorter on cash, Daewoo has some excellent and surprisingly stylish options for the cash-strapped.

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."

KitchenAid 33L Freestanding Combination Microwave Oven

Grill cooking. You know what a grill is, right? I haven't really used this much, but it seems to function well enough. There's a choice of three heat settings.Microwave ovens are great for heating moist stewy foods but usually struggle with crispy ingredients like pastries, quiches and pizza, which is why we'd usually recommend a combi. We then wanted to look to see how that compared to other products in the Microwaves category. The average review score of all Microwaves is 4.7 / 5. The KitchenAid KMQFX33910 Limited Edition combination microwave is the perfect addition to your kitchen thanks to its array of features. Accessories: The KMQFX33910 comes with a two-tier steamer – excellent – and two stands of different heights; tall for grilling, short for fan oven cooking. These are again a little flimsier than they ought to be, but they do the job. I have also used the fan oven without bothering with the low grill, and that seems to work fine.
