Double oven or microwave with grill?

[jackiesgirl]

We’re moving into a new house soon which currently has an integrated single electric oven. I had one of these in our old house and hated it, so planning to replace it straight away, the main aim being to be able to use the oven and grill at the same time.
I’ve never had a microwave with grill before - are they any good, and are they a viable alternative to the double oven? Could I get away with one of these instead of replacing the oven? Of course the double oven does mean I could have 2 ovens running as well.

We’ve had a couple of microwaves with grills, awful. Far easier to look into a grill to see how things are doing than to stop the microwave, open the door, have a look and then restart it. They also don’t seem to grill very evenly ime.

Double oven would be my recommendation.

We have a combination microwave with a grill and a cooker with a separate grill. The only time we ever use the microwave grille is when it is part of some combination programme.

The oven grill is so much easier to use, plus the whole grill or half can be selected. I suppose if you could find a microwave with a slide in grill pan there wouldn’t be too much difference.

We tried a microwave grill and thought it wasn't as good as the oven one. i would go for a double oven and separate microwave. I still think there are times even now with air fryers in many homes when using a grill is the best method.
