Kenwood MWP31.020SI Grill Microwave Oven, 31 Liters, Silver and Black

The Kenwood MWP31.020SI is the grill version of a 31 litre Kenwood microwave, finished in silver and black. It pairs 1000W of microwave power with a 1000W grill and adds combination cooking, defrost, five power levels and an LED touch panel with a 95-minute timer. It suits families who want to brown and crisp as well as reheat, at Rs. 48,500 from AYS Online.

Microwave, grill or both: modes on the MWP31.020SI

• Microwave: 1000W for quick reheating and cooking.
• Grill: 1000W from the top element to toast, brown and crisp. It works on its own, much like a small broiler, for garlic bread or a grilled sandwich.
• Combination: microwaves cook the food through while the grill colours the surface, which shortens the time for chicken pieces or a baked pasta.
• Defrost: thaws frozen meat before it goes on to cook.

Room for family dishes

At 31 litres, with a 31.5 cm glass turntable, the cavity takes large dinner plates, oven dishes and a whole chicken, so cooking for four or five people is a single round rather than two. The turntable and its ring lift out for washing, and the interior wipes clean with a damp cloth after a grill session.

Controls and safety

Everything is set through an LED display with touch controls: five power levels, the 95-minute timer and a clock that shows when the oven is idle. A child lock secures the panel so a child pressing buttons cannot start a cycle, which matters on a grill model where the element and glass get hot.

The MWP31.020SI plugs into a standard, properly earthed household socket; give it its own socket rather than sharing an extension with a kettle or iron.

For the best grill results, put food in a heat-proof dish, turn pieces halfway so both sides colour, and use oven gloves when lifting the hot dish out. Keep metal out of microwave and combination modes.
