Six evenly spaced vents in the top let steam escape without letting all the moisture out of your carefully prepared meal, and deep finger grips in the centre make it easy to lift on and off the plate. Cooking certain foods at full power will dry them out or burn the outside before the middle is done. And you’ll use more energy doing so, too. Keeping your microwave clean will help to reduce energy costs too because bits of food, grime, and spills will add a couple more seconds to the cooking time of your food.While manufacturers do generally state the internal capacity, this doesn't actually tell you what size dishes you'll be able to get inside.

You can also use it to defrost smaller items - many microwaves use Medium Low as the ‘auto defrost’ setting. Pizza function This tends to work better with grill or combi microwaves, as the grill helps to crisp the pizza base and brown the top. Some models come with ‘crisper plates’ which can also be used for quiches. You'll get better results if you use a frozen pizza and pre-heat the oven and plate for four or five minutes first.
