Avoiding Mishaps

To avoid any microwave mishaps it is recommended to take extra care with the following:

Low moisture foods (eg. cereals, bagels, dried pasta, pulses and chocolate)

– These must be cooked on a low power level for a very short length of time, or preferably not at all.

High sugar content foods (eg. jams, syrups)

– These foods can become easily ‘super-heated’ when cooked in a microwave oven.

Foods containing alcohol

– Foods with an alcohol content must not be cooked in a microwave as they could ignite.

Foods with a membrane or outer skin (eg. fruits, sausages, potatoes)

– Food with a sealed or none porous skin must be pierced to allow pressure and steam to escape

    I do not cook in a microwave – its handy to defrost and other minimal things – I’m sure this microwave can do more but Im not very demand so far. I would recommend as it looks lovely in kitchen – its small, compact, but big enough, and fits nicely – It is home to my salad spinner – fits perfectly. Yes, I would recommend.

    I was looking for a simple microwave because I mainly use it for defrosting and heating milk for lattes when coffee making. This doesn’t take up too much worktop space and colour matches food mixer. Very happy with it.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersLove the mic. Very easy to use.Only critiscism is the dial has to be moved forward and then back again for times less than a minute.The timer also does not indicate seconds ,so you have to guess.Not for people with poor eyesite.Looks good, and heats nicely.Its also smaller externally which is good to fit in smaller area.The interia fits a good large plate.Over all notbadfor money.

    Golden Review Award: 4 From Our UsersI like this, controls look very retro and it’s very easy to operate. You don’t need a degree in math to understand how to set the cooking time, simple controls for a simple person like me 🙂

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersSimple easy to use dials, always used a higher W microwave so have to remember it takes longer.
    As for compact you can just about fit a pint mug in height and it only just fits our dinner plates on.

    A good microwave. Only 700w but really powerful. Fits neatly on my work top and is very good if you have a small kitchen like I have. This is my second Russell Hobbs microwave. Love its simplicity. Especially for technophobes

    My previous, all singing & dancing microwave was not used to its full potential…as all I wanted and needed was a microwave that saved oven time by part cooking jacket potatoes and cooking perfect al dente veg! This cute microwave takes up hardly any room and is attractive whilst being a vital part of the kitchen. Perfect!

    Had this about month and a half now. Very pleased with. The bad reviews appear harsh to me. Cannot fault it at all. If you cannot say anything nice may just be best to say nothing at all…

    I am of the older generation and positively dislike the high beeps emitted by so many modern appliances. The Russell Hobbs microwave gives a pleasant sounding deep tone when the food is cooked or defrosted. There are just two simply controls which are easy to use. I have previously owned microwaves with a variety of controls and settings but for me, simplest is the best way to go. It also looks good in my kitche

    I love this microwave – it’s so simple without all the fancy electronics most of us never bother with. 2 knobs, one for temperature, the other for timer. All you need really! Looks great, easy to clean and nothing much can go wrong with it, sure I’ll be using for many years to come.
