one of the elements has broken in my oven but the rings still work fine so i have been successfully using my combination micro for years now for a family of 3, i do everything in it that i would in my normal oven. in fact im sure its a lot cheaper to run as you arent heating up a big oven everytime you turn it on i wouldnt be without mine now and i havent even bothered getting myself a new cooker yet as im managing just fine without it! the combination micro is more expensive when you first buy it but i have more than had my moneys worth out of it and it would be very handy in your situation at the mo. i cook roast dinners in mine all the time, you normally have a wire circular shelf thing that comes in the micro so i put chicken/meat in the tray surrounded by potatoes to roast and on the tray on top i do stuffing and roast parsnips etc i then take it all out when cooked leave it to rest for 5 mins and by the time i have served everything up on plates i have nuked the peas/sprouts/veg in the micro till cooked and serve up!:T

I don't have a cooker or a hobb. I haven't had one for about 8 years. I have a combi m/w and convection oven/grill and an induction 'one ring' unit.

What about a ready cooked chicken from the supermarket and a whole load of new potatoes, salad and nibbly bits? This is what we usually have on boxing day - a welcome change from cooked dinners.

This is completely dishonest, but thought I would mention it, a friend of mine was awaiting gas install for her new cooker, and while she was waiting she bought a combi oven/hot plate thing from argos she didn't need then returned it when she got the cooker/gas fitted saying it didn't work properly (even took the fuse out) and they gave her a refund, ok she did keep it immaculate. I understand why she did it of course as a new single parent of 3 with not much money.

not only is it completely dishonest, but it is also fraud, which is illegal, and such activity ultimately results in price hikes which affect everyone..including single parents of 3 :cool:
