1000 Watts!!

[Jarvey Of Suburbia]

My new microwave is 1000 watts HOOOROAR!!!! :hyper:

Can anyone beat that? :chin:

Its a convection oven and a grill aswell. :thumb: :D :hyper: :yes:

[icey]

thats sounds like the one ive got.
mine came with a little metal tray thingy that fits inside for crisping pizzas... :D

[my name]

yay microwaves :hyper:

though its always disturbed me how something that takes 25 minutes in an oven can be cooked in 3 minutes in a microwave... sometimes make me not want to eat what came out of it

[Mist]

Ours is good enough. Most packaging out at the moment covers our microwave as its recommended times. raa.

[wooooooooah]

Mine came with the house, it's about 4 watts I think :(

Nope, no crispy pizza thingy for me.

[Foxxy_Cymru]

Mine came with the student house, its so old its probably just quicker to use the oven than that thing :rolleyes:

[Bunnie]

i think mine is 1000 at home but here at uni im entitled to agree with wooooooooah prob about 4!!

[Franki]

I think ours is er....800? Maybe 1000, I dunno.

[Kermit]

Well its your electric bill not mine...

[Bunnie]

Well its your electric bill not mine...
nope its dads!! :lol:

[wooooooooah]

Lucky you bunny! :D

Oh and as for our conventional oven...it has two settings: (1) off, and (2) "blazing inferno" :(

[Olive]

Oh and as for our conventional oven...it has two settings: (1) off, and (2) "blazing inferno" :(

want to swap?

ours has setting 1 - off, and setting 2 - might be on...light is on...smells a bit burny...my god, does it really take 50 minutes to cook a frozen pizza??!?!?!

[Knee High Stripy Socks]

Sounds like our uni oven - it has one setting - 250 degrees or nowt. Yummy burnt pizza on top, and frozen inside :yum:

[noog]

Ours is 800w. My computer is 600w though... eek :P

[Knee High Stripy Socks]

Ours is 800w. My computer is 600w though... eek :P
However, I don't recommend putting a pizza on the laptop keyboard and closing the lid to cook it!

God that sounds delicious!

[Knee High Stripy Socks]

Totally.

Just try cooking a ready-meal in it - everytime you try it doesn't touch the lasagne but the plastic melts!

[Kat_B]

ours is 800/850, something like that... usually do things in the oven though if i have time. dont know why!

[Teh_Gerbil]

800wattages

My old Pc has a 500watt psu... new one is 480 but atx2 so yay.

[wooooooooah]

Not always...I like to get sausage rolls nice and soggy by nuking them :thumb: (Although, with my microwave it is a bit of pointless exercise!)

[my name]

oh soggy food :yuck: and the microwave makes everything soggy

[mystifymysoul]

I think our microwave is 900 watts. woot.

[Miguel Sanchez]

house one is 1000w

thought work one would be the same

never put a microwave burger (yes i know they are awful) on for 70 seconds in a 2500w microwave

very burny :(

[wooooooooah]

2500W?!?! I didn't know such a thing existed!

[Teh_Gerbil]

oh soggy food :yuck: and the microwave makes everything soggy

Except Chicago town pizzas, mine makes the base enitlrey dry and solid.

[JsT]

Our uni oven is shite. Takes 3 days to warm up and once its warmed your food is burnt within 5 minutes. Guaranteed. We do have too 800w microwaves and a grill though :D

[katralla]

hmm, that's a point. My microwave has a grill too- now I can leave my grill pan washing up a little longer... yeah, dirty, dirty, lazy sod!

[MrG]

1200w :D

[Welsh Jemz]

:confused: i didn't know you could get ones over 800w, lol

i have led a sheltered life :D

[Hellfire]

800W at home, 850W at my gfs (i think) but it's so dodgy it cooks at about 650 - 700W :p

At home we don't have a microwave. Being at uni is the first time I've used one!

[wooooooooah]

Wow, you've lived a sheltered (healthy?) life....until now! :yes:

[Knee High Stripy Socks]

No, just sheltered :p

[Doofay]

My new car speakers are 1200w :p

[Jarvey Of Suburbia]

ohhh noiseylicious.

[Teh_Gerbil]

800W at home, 850W at my gfs (i think) but it's so dodgy it cooks at about 650 - 700W :p

Mm... guaranteed undercooked or burnt food! Fun!

[dr_carter]

Our uni microwave is 700W but i'm sure it's got a weird idea of how long 5 mins is - feels more like 8.

Our uni oven is crap. It takes 2 hours to warm up and then somehow generates black smoke from whatever you put in there - including nothing at all.

However, there's no chance of them replacing it unless the thing blows up (like another kitchen's oven did the other day) as the halls are being demolished at the end of the year. Personally i'd like to speed the whole thing up with one of those bombs Steven Seagal detonates in a microwave in 'Under Siege'... if I thought it might actually finish cooking the damn thing...

[TheCure]

Mines only 850W, but I bought a new washing machine recently.

This bad boy spins up at 1600rpm. Beat that!!
