Many thanks for this page and for the advice and recipes. I have recently bought a MR combi and have used micro/grill/convenction but although it has recipes I am not sure which to use for which recipe (DOH) and have no idea how to use the combination feature, does this have to be changed part way through - scared to try in case it blows up. (Suppose I would be best to test using Pyrex, not metal/foil)

I'm getting one when our kitchen is refitted in the new year so would definitely be interested in any recipes, please!

You can use metal dishes in combi microwaves but I tend to use Pyrex in mine.

Always do my jacket potatoes but I just have a button that does the micro/conventional automatically. 2 jackets (weighing 500g or thereabouts) takes 18 minutes.

Only just found this thread. Thanks, pink (and many others, especially for those recipes so thoughtfully typed out)

Recently purchased second combi-microwave after kitchen refit. Used to have a Sharp. Lotta years ago now. 1980s. It came with a full colour illustrated cookbook that led you every step of the way through great recipes. what buttons to press, in what order etc. It was brilliant.

Wondering if Sharp-brand micros still did this, I just googled any sharp combi to see if the instructions provided would be as good as in that bygone era. Well almost...

To do the same, fine sharphomeappliances and work you way through to combis, then user guides and click around until you get a PDF to down load.

The one I found had towards the back dozens of recipes including for puddings for those so inclined. All for 4 people. No pictures. But recipes, all the same.

The micro I bought recently is a Samsung. MC28H5135**.
If you're thinking of this one, don't bother.
Not a complete waste of £200 but the instructions are RUBBISH. 5pt size grey print on grey paper (oldies among you will sympathise - unbloodyreadable!). Full of mistranslations. only tells you how to do parts of meals. Omits really useful instructions (eg microwave porridge) altogether. Sure, it's got some automated programmes, but they are very restricted, and adapting them to other foods or dishes would probably require loads of experimentation I haven't time for.

Oh, another idea - I looked on Amazon and the most recent recipe book for this type of device was one published in 1987 !!!! I think I must be living in a timewarp!

Combis are really useful devices but without proper well-written well-illustrated instructions they are about as much use as chocolate teapots.
