The convection function circulates hot air through the stainless steel interior at temperatures from 110 to 200 degrees C, enabling roasting, baking, and grilling in a way a standard microwave-grill combination cannot. A flat borosilicate glass base replaces the rotating turntable, accommodating larger and more awkward dishes and making the floor easy to clean. Ten microwave power levels, ten convection temperatures, a 1200W grill, and nine automatic cooking programmes cover most everyday cooking tasks. Microwave reflectors distribute energy more evenly through the cavity, reducing the uneven heating that affects most standard microwaves. A 95-minute timer, digital display, and adjustable sound settings complete a well-specified unit at this price point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e3-in-1 microwave, grill, and convection oven: Combines a 900W microwave, 1200W grill, and 2050W convection function in a single 25-litre appliance, enabling roasting and baking tasks that a microwave-grill combination cannot perform.\n\u003cbr\u003eFlat borosilicate glass base, no turntable: A flat borosilicate glass base replaces the rotating turntable, giving the full 30.5cm x 32cm floor area to any dish shape and making cleaning straightforward.\n\u003cbr\u003e10 convection temperatures from 110 to 200 degrees C: The convection function heats from 110 to 200 degrees C in selectable steps, covering everything from gentle warming through to roasting and baking temperatures.\n\u003cbr\u003e9 automatic cooking programmes: Nine preset programmes combine microwave, grill, and convection functions automatically for common cooking tasks, removing the need to manually manage function switching.\n\u003cbr\u003eMicrowave reflectors for even heat distribution: Built-in microwave reflectors distribute microwave energy more evenly through the cavity, reducing the cold spots that are common in standard microwaves without a rotating turntable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCapacity: 25 litres\n\u003cbr\u003eMicrowave power: 900W, 10 power levels\n\u003cbr\u003eGrill power: 1200W\n\u003cbr\u003eConvection power: 2050W\n\u003cbr\u003eConvection temperature range: 110 to 200 degrees C, 10 selectable levels\n\u003cbr\u003eAutomatic programmes: 9\n\u003cbr\u003eTimer: 95 minutes with digital display\n\u003cbr\u003eBase: Flat borosilicate glass (non-rotating)\n\u003cbr\u003eInterior: Stainless steel with microwave reflectors\n\u003cbr\u003eSound settings: Adjustable\n\u003cbr\u003eExterior dimensions: W490mm x H285mm x D480mm\n\u003cbr\u003eInterior dimensions: W305mm x H195mm x D320mm\n\u003cbr\u003eWeight: 16.65kg\n\u003cbr\u003eVoltage: 230V, 50Hz\n\u003cbr\u003eCertifications: GS, CE\n\u003cbr\u003eMPN: 03351\n\u003cbr\u003eEAN: 4038437033519\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCare instructions:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAfter each use: Wipe the interior with a damp cloth while still slightly warm. The stainless steel interior and borosilicate base clean more easily when food residue has not had time to harden.\n\u003cbr\u003eBorosilicate glass base: Wipe the flat glass base with a damp cloth. For baked-on residue, a little warm soapy water and a soft cloth will lift it without abrasive cleaners. Do not use scourers on the glass surface.\n\u003cbr\u003eGrill element: Allow the grill element to cool fully before wiping near it. Use a damp cloth to remove splatter from the element area when cold.\n\u003cbr\u003eExterior: Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners on the stainless steel housing. Keep the door seal clean and check periodically that it is undamaged.\n\u003cbr\u003eWhat to avoid: Do not use metal containers or foil in microwave mode. Do not operate the microwave when empty. Do not block the ventilation slots. Do not place flammable materials near the appliance during convection cooking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eQuestions and answers:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhat is the difference between this and the CASO MG 25?\n\u003cbr\u003eThe MCG 25 adds a full convection oven function (2050W, 110-200 degrees C) that the MG 25 does not have. This means the MCG 25 can bake, roast, and act as a second oven in a way the MG 25 cannot. The MCG 25 also has a higher grill output at 1200W versus 1000W, more microwave power levels (10 versus 5), and nine automatic cooking programmes. It is heavier at 16.65kg versus 13.4kg, and priced at £199.99 versus £149.99.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCan this replace a conventional oven for everyday cooking?\n\u003cbr\u003eThe 2050W convection function with temperatures up to 200 degrees C covers roasting, baking, and grilling. For a single person or couple, or as a second oven in a kitchen where the main oven is occupied, it can handle most everyday tasks. It will not match the capacity of a full-size oven, with a 25-litre interior measuring 30.5cm x 19.5cm x 32cm, but for dishes that fit within those dimensions it performs as a genuine convection oven.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhat does the borosilicate glass base offer over a standard ceramic base?\n\u003cbr\u003eBorosilicate glass is highly resistant to thermal shock, meaning it can handle rapid temperature changes from microwave heat, grill heat, and convection heat without cracking. It is the same material used in quality bakeware and laboratory glass. For an appliance running three different heat sources at different temperatures, the thermal resilience of borosilicate is appropriate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHow does the microwave reflector system work?\n\u003cbr\u003eStandard microwaves distribute energy from a single magnetron in a pattern that can leave uneven zones in the cavity, which is why most require a rotating turntable to compensate. Microwave reflectors redirect and redistribute the energy more uniformly across the cavity without the need for rotation. The result is more even cooking on the fixed flat base.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CASO Design","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57096859091322,"sku":"091660","price":199.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0072\/1875\/7690\/files\/01.-03351-MCG25.jpg?v=1784730791","url":"https:\/\/aolcookshop.co.uk\/products\/caso-mcg-25-ceramic-chef-microwave","provider":"Art of Living Cookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
