Product Information

An oven took a much longer 76 minutes, and also cost more at 39p, although Which? testers noted that the meat was a little dry.

The oven took the longest amount of time and used 37p worth of energy - over 7 times more than the microwave. Which? found that the pressure cooker used slightly more energy than the induction hob and overcooked the broccoli.Essentially a grill microwave is just like a microwave oven but with the addition of a specialised grill plate that you can use whilst cooking. But the air fryer also provided impressive results, taking half the time of an oven and only using 9p worth of electricity. Unlike a tabletop microwave, integrated microwaves are built into an area of the kitchen, like a cupboard or designated unit for example.

Foods that are traditionally cooked in an oven or on a stove top can be rustled up in grill microwave, which offers a bit more flexibility with meals than your standard solo microwave. Which? found that baking a cake in an air fryer costs just 8p and takes almost half the time needed for a regular oven, without compromising on taste and texture Which? found that a microwave was 3p to 4p cheaper than using an induction hob or pressure cooker, both of which cost 7p. As the potential for cooking opens up, so does the price tag in most cases. Combination microwaves tend to be pricier, so it's worth looking at a solo microwave if you only plan to heat up and defrost foods. Integrated Microwave
