Offering an awful lot for a small oven, this model from Morphy Richards is a definite option for anyone who will be relying on it a lot for their cooking needs, for instance, if your current large one is broken or you’ve had to turn the Aga off for summer.
First of all, it is fan assisted which helps with temperature regulation and even cooking. There are plenty of settings to choose from depending on your food and the results you are after, including a rotisserie option, conventional and grill options and the all-important hobs.
Whereas a lot of other mini ovens with hobs don’t allow you to use them both at the same time, with this model you can (although the heat with the hobs is slightly compromised). Still sufficient if you want to simmer some frozen vegetables while your lasagne is cooking, and each has three warmth settings which can be controlled independently to one another too.
It all heats up pretty quickly which is great if waiting for the oven to preheat is the worst part of preparing dinner for you, and this also keeps costs down on your energy bills.
The outside of the appliance gets warm when in use but the cool touch end panels reduce some of this warmth, so it isn’t bad enough to avoid touching it. The instruction manual states that a gap of 12.5 cm must be left around it, so bear this in mind before buying and make sure you could fit it in the space you have planned.
You get a rotisserie spit with the oven, and a crumb tray can be inserted under the food to collect any stray crumbs which makes cleaning up a lot easier.
