Designed to do everything your oven can do: Samsung MC32K7055CK – Microwave Oven
5/5
With a 32L capacity & 345mm turntable, this super sleek microwave is more than a match for your conventional oven. Ideal for compact kitchens, larger families and busy foodies, it's rammed full of features and patented Samsung technology to defrost, heat, cook and grill dishes of every variety.
Settings such as "Healthy Cooking" & "Slim Fry" (grill + warm air circulation) include some 15 pre-set programs for common dishes such as vegetables, potatoes, seafood and poultry - although you will need to familiarise yourself with the manual to make the most of them. There's even a setting for rising yeast dough or fermenting homemade yoghurt!
Otherwise, Hot Blast Technology ("Hot Blast Auto" setting) blows hot air through food to reduce cooking times, and Samsung's Wide Grill provides more consistent heat distribution to allow for more even cooking.
Accessories-wise, you get a low and high rack for cooking dishes simultaneously, and also a (genius) Teflon-coated "crusty plate" for browning and crisping off your dishes.
Elsewhere on the control panel, there's a child-lock, and eco-mode - making this one of the most energy efficient microwaves I've owned.
Aesthetically, I'm loving the drop down door (although this is a fingerprint magnet) and sheer size of the microwave inside - it can accommodate most crockery & cookware, and the turntable can be disabled to allow for squarer dishes.
All-in-all, I love it. The build quality is first-rate, and it looks the part in my kitchen. There are weeks I don't use my standard oven at all, so less faffing about with pots & pans, and less work for my dishwasher! It's a cinch to keep clean too.
It's five stars from me.
