Have a quick look through this microwave ovens guide for some tips on what to look for - according to that, you would want to buy a combination microwave oven which would offer the functionality of a convection oven (for baking) on top of your microwave needs. You can also do a price check from the same page by clicking the compare prices button, so you'll be able to see what microwave models come within your price range.

There are combination ovens, which consist of a microwave and a grill, which fall within your budget.

From Argos £42 reserve and collect.

Alternatively buy a halogen oven which will roast, fry or boil your food although it won't be as quick as a microwave. £49 including delivery from Amazon.

Try a TJ Hughes store if you have one nearbuy. I got all my electrical kitchen equipment from there when I moved into my new house. My microwave cost £40 from there, but the RRP was £80. Also, I got my toaster for £35 from there, but when I was in Comet last week they were selling it for £65! :eek:
