Review of the Whirlpool Crisp N’ Grill Microwave

I have never owned a microwave that does anything but heat up left over food, so when I heard about the Whirlpool Crisp N’ Grill, I was so confused about how a microwave could actually cook your food! So of course I had to get my hands on one and try it for myself.  

So my first question when I got it was “So does it also work as a normal microwave?” Yes it does! So no need to worry that you are losing the normal functionalities of a microwave. What the Whirlpool can do is actually cook meals through its crisp and grill functions. So I wanted to see what it could do when I decided to cook a quick family meal.

Cooking a hamburger

Here is how I put together a quick mid-week meal for the whole family, that took 10 mins to prepare and 9 mins to cook!

4 Serves

Ingredients

400g of minced meat

1/2 teaspoon of salt

Pinch of pepper

1 tbs of butter or margerine

4 x burger buns

Mayonnaise

Tomato

Kale

Cheese

Avocado

Tomato sauce

Recipe 

Use the Crisp function of the microwave

1. Mix the mince meat with the salt and pepper
2. Shape the mince into 4 hamburgers about 1 cm thick
3. Butter the crisp plate and preheat for 3 mins on crisp
4. Place the hamburgers on the plate and cook on crisp for 3 mins
5. Turn the hamburgers over and cook for another 3 mins
6. Serve burgers on the bun and build with the rest of the ingredients

Why I love the Whirlpool Crisp N’ Grill

1. It was super fast to cook!
2. No need to use a frying pan
3. Cleaning was much easier. All I had to do is clean the crisp plate
4. No need to be in the kitchen while the hamburger is cooking. You just put the timer on and the microwave lets you know once its cooked
5. Safer for when you have young children in the house and need to cook

Verdict

So if you are looking to buy a microwave that can do more than a normal microwave and is the same size as a normal microwave, then look no further than the Whirlpool Crisp N’ Grill. There is so many possibilities of what I can cook with this microwave and I can’t wait to keep on exploring other meals I can cook with it. When you are a time poor Mum (like the majority of Mums!) then this is a saviour for you to get those mid-week meals on the table quicker with less mess in the kitchen meaning more time to yourself and with the kids.
