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

    Love 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: 3 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 smart, very easy to use and very effective. Seems to warm stuff more quickly than our existing 700w machine. The analogue dials makes it very easy to use.

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersBought this to replace a broken microwave and after some research this one was chosen and I am not disappointed. Compact powerful and more aesthetically pleasing than most. Its simple retro styling and controls make it a great purchase and an ease to use.

    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!

    Golden Review Award: 4 From Our UsersI 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

    This product worked well for the first 10 months or so and then started to ‘clonk’ when in use! No problem returning it with Amazon.

    Its a bit noisy and doesnt seem quite as powerful as the last 700watt I had. However it looks great and I would certainly buy again.

    This is a stylish easy to use microwave .My only problem was that I didn’t realise it is quite small and my large dinner plates don’t fit in it .

    Golden Review Award: 8 From Our UsersI like the cream colour of this microwave which matches our kettle and toaster. It fits into the small surface space we have. I love the deco curvy shape and it looks fine. The controls are not digital and they will probably not break so easily. The only negative is that it is a bit small, but fine to heat up left overs or thaw things out of the freezer for a two person household. I purchased it for our holiday home and am very glad to be able to heat up soups etc without always using saucepans.

    Great product, only downside would be the timer is difficult to tell exactly how long food is being cooked for so use an alternative stopwatch.

  48. Culture Editor says:

     United Kingdom

    Looks good and works perfectly. Only downside is that the timer is not precise enough. Had to buy a freestanding timer to control the time accurately.
