There’s a clock to keep track of the time, and the timer will let you set your food’s cooking duration. The R860SLM also has a child lock feature to stop those nosey little hands interfering with your programme or timings.

There are six auto menu functions at the press of a button: jacket potato, pizza, rice, oven chips, cake and roast chicken. The buttons and display can be found on the right-hand side, as is the convention, and they’re intuitive enough that you needn’t look at the instructions. Novuna is a trading style of Mitsubishi HC Capital UK PLC, authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority. The LCD display will let you see, at a glance, how much cooking time you have left, while a handy oven lamp lets you check on your food’s progress.Much like the noisy baking tray, the Sharp visibly vibrated some of the time, so much so that you could see the potato rolling a bit from side to side. It’s easy to select your desired programme from the multitude of settings, using the touch panel on the front of the microwave. The R860SLM has multiple functions and cooking programmes, so you can prepare your food exactly how you wish.

Deliver + Unpack + Remove Waste - we will deliver to your preferred room of choice, unpack the item, remove and recycle all waste/packaging. This results in significantly more cooking space, which is great so long as the appliance does a good job of cooking food evenly.Combi microwaves include a grill plus a combination of functions, such as steaming and even air frying. On the outside, however, the brushed stainless steel and black glass finish is attractive, and makes for an appliance that appears far more expensive than it is. As expected, the potato wasn’t cooked right through once the six minutes had elapsed, so I had to pop it back in for a bit more time. Why settle for just one function when this Sharp appliance can microwave, grill and bake like a conventional oven. The convection oven preheated in under three minutes, though batch baked fairy cakes in 30, which was longer than we'd have liked.
