AEG AG-MBB1756SEM

Expand your cooking options with this excellent microwave from AEG. Its 17 litre capacity and 27cm turntable makes it ideal for medium dinner plates. It features a wide range of automatic programmes too that set the time and temperature for each dish depending on the weight and type – so you get perfect results every time, without the guesswork. There’s also a special function for saving up to 3 specific settings that you use frequently – such as defrosting bread, or reheating chicken – so you can access them at the press of a button. And the ultra-responsive touch controls make the whole process seamless, while adding a hint of style to your kitchen. Touch to open You’ll be able to get cooking straight away with this microwave, thanks to its touch control opening. When you’re ready to pop in your food, just give the door a tap and it’ll open for you. This is really easy to use, and means you’ll never be left fumbling with fiddly buttons. Enjoy your favourites at your fingertips Because you can save your most-used settings, you’ll be able to select them more easily. Just choose your desired programme, and press the star-shaped icon on the control panel. This will remember them for you, so the next time you need to use them, they’ll just be a quick touch away. Ideal for custard jugs and gravy boats Thanks to the re-turntable feature, it’s a lot easier to take out piping hot cookware. When your meals have finished cooking, the turntable will bring your dish back round to the starting position. This is perfect for anything with a handle, as you’ll be able to grab it straight away without having to twizzle it round to find it. Spend less time cleaning With a specially designed interior, this model is really easy to clean. Each side is made out of smooth glass, so there are no nooks and crannies for bits of food to become wedged in. This means it’ll just need a quick wipe down with a cloth every now and then, rather than a tough scrub. Say goodbye to bowls of thawing chicken The defrost function means you’ll never have to take the meat out the freezer the night before again. Once you’re ready to start cooking, just enter the food type and weight, and it’ll automatically work out how long you need to leave it in for. It’ll thaw your ingredients safely and hygienically too, so you’ll always get the best flavours without the 12-hour wait. Tips for measuring up There are two types of built-in microwave you can buy – standard and compact. This is a standard model, which means it’s around 60cm wide. Measure your kitchen space to make sure it’ll fit. Also, you’ll need to check the depth of the space, as built in microwaves vary between 45 and 60cm.
