If you’ve been neglecting yours, using it only to heat the odd tin of beans, it’s time to dust it off and put it to work: the fantastic Lékué Microwave Grill is about to make you fall back in love with it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eToasted sarnies – made in a microwave?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWho doesn’t love a toasted sandwich? Properly toasted, crunchy golden bread; ham, gooey cheese and a dollop of tangy chutney… irresistible. Our Buyers love them so much that they’ve spent a couple of years looking for a microwave grill that would cook them to perfection. So why a microwave grill? Well, as good as electric toasted sandwich makers are, they take up loads of worktop space, can be slow to heat up, are fiddly to clean and – worst of all – can sometimes leak out all that yummy filling. Plus, they’re a bit of a one-trick pony.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTop toasties\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn pursuit of toasted sarnie perfection, we tested a good few microwave products that claimed to do the business, but until we got out hands on this one from Lékué, they all fell short of our expectations. After testing, testing and testing again, we’re very excited to say this one really does make incredible toasties (even without any oil or butter!). Think crunchy toast with melted cheese and hot-right-to-the-middle fillings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConvinced by a crispy crunch\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNot convinced yet? When our Buying Team excitedly told us what this grill could do, we were a little dubious at first… but a plateful of properly crunchy toasties instantly had us persuaded! And it’s not just good for the purist’s cheese and ham variety; the plates are held together with silicone bands, so it can even accommodate deep paninis and ciabattas, packed with lots of lovely layered fillings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDelicious meat, fish and veggies\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs satisfying as they are, man cannot live on toasties alone… but versatility is one of the reasons we love this grill. You might not have considered cooking burgers and sausages in your microwave oven, but when you use this grill, they’ll be done to perfection. Unlike other microwave cookers that just heat or steam, leaving food a little pale, this actually browns food and gives it a lined, grilled effect, producing juicy burgers, chicken and salmon portions that look really appetising, and tender veg too.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I use it?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eBefore you start cooking you’ll need to preheat the grill. Pop it into the microwave for three minutes (use this time to prep your food), then carefully place your food on the bottom grill, rest the upper grill on top and secure it in place with the stretchy silicone loops. Cook your food according to the timings in the included booklet and you’re ready to eat! Make sure that you use oven gloves as the grill does get very hot.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEasy to clean\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMade from non-stick coated aluminium and silicone, it’s really easy to clean once you’ve munched your toasted sandwiches. Unlike electric toastie makers that are notoriously fiddly to wash up, you can dunk this in a sink of soapy water, or even pop it in the dishwasher on the top rack for a really convenient clean. \u003cstrong\u003ePlease note \u003c\/strong\u003ethat we recommend that the grill is cleaned thoroughly after each use.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePerfectly timed\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eWondering how soon you can eat?
