From cooking a ready-meal to steaming veg for a roast dinner, the humble microwave is a versatile kitchen appliance. As well as being convenient, they can help you save, too, as they tend to be more energy efficient than an electric oven or hob.
With so many different types of microwave available, we recommend reading our best microwaves roundup before you buy. You’ll want to consider how much room the appliance will take up in your kitchen, as well as the settings you’ll need. If you only need to heat and defrost food, a solo microwave will do the job, but if you want more versatility, combi microwaves are able to grill, roast and sometimes even air fry, helping you create a wider range of delicious meals.
