The right appliance for oven and grill use should suit the space available, the size of your household and how you plan to use it. Many poor purchases are not caused by missing features, but by unclear product specifications: a large control panel cannot make up for insufficient interior capacity, a grill function says little about the actual grilling area, and a cleaning programme does not always eliminate the need for manual cleaning.
Before buying an oven or purchasing a grill, you should therefore check three common pitfalls:
For a typical household, a 60 cm width and an interior capacity of around 60 to 70 litres are often practical if you want to use several levels or larger oven dishes. A smaller appliance may be sufficient for a single-person kitchen or as an additional appliance. Microwaves with a grill often have capacities of 20 to 25 litres.
Look out for:
An electric oven with a power consumption of, for example, 3 kW requires an electrical installation designed accordingly. In a microwave with grill and fan cooking, the power ratings of the individual operating modes may differ significantly.
An oven with a grill function should offer more than just a grill setting. It should also provide clear temperature and time controls. Fan cooking distributes heat using a fan and can make baking on several levels easier. A pizza function is particularly useful when the temperature range, rack position and available accessories are all suitable.
Depending on the model, a combination microwave combines microwave cooking, grilling and fan cooking. This saves space, but does not automatically replace a large built-in oven. You should therefore check:
According to the product specifications, the Bauknecht MWK 253 B offers 25 litres of capacity, 900 W microwave power and seven power levels, as well as grill and combination cooking. According to the manufacturer’s specifications, the Sharp YC-PC254AE-S also offers a fan cooking function with 2,050 W, a grill power of 1,200 W, 14 automatic programmes and a 288 mm diameter turntable.
The energy efficiency class is a useful comparison value, but it should be considered alongside how the appliance will actually be used. An energy-efficient oven with ECO mode can help reduce consumption when used regularly. Other important factors include short preheating times, an appropriate cooking compartment size and the ability to prepare several portions at once.
When choosing a grill, consider the material thickness, grill rack material, air supply and stability. A kamado grill uses adjustable air vents and retains heat thanks to its construction. For beginners, it is important that the thermometer and air controls are clearly and intuitively positioned. When buying a BBQ grill, you should also consider the work surface, wheels, grill size and safe distance from flammable materials.
For maintenance, allow the oven to cool before cleaning, disconnect electrical appliances from the mains and follow the instructions for use. An oven cleaner or grill cleaner should only be used on surfaces approved for this purpose. Aggressive cleaning products or scouring pads can damage delicate coatings.

We have compiled a complete, regularly updated list of products that fully meet these strict selection criteria and the safety regulations applicable in the EU.
Remove food residues as soon as possible once the appliance has cooled down. With a steam-cleaning oven, water can be added to the base of the cooking compartment in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. The loosened residues can then be wiped away with a soft cloth.
Cleaning sponges such as the abrazo Pot & Pan Cleaning Pads may be suitable for grill racks and cookware. According to the product description, they are made from vegan-certified cleaning material with plant-oil soap and are intended for pots, pans and certain kitchen utensils. Check surface compatibility before use and wear protective gloves if you have sensitive skin.
When cleaning a microwave with grill, do not use abrasive cleaners, pressure washers or aggressive tools. The interior, door seal, ventilation openings and turntable must be maintained in accordance with the operating instructions.
A built-in oven usually offers a larger cooking compartment and is suitable for baking trays, several levels and regular family-sized portions. A combination microwave takes up less space and, depending on the model, combines microwave cooking, grilling and fan cooking. It is therefore a space-saving addition, but does not replace a large cooking compartment in every household.
Consumption depends on the power, temperature, preheating time, cooking compartment size and duration of use. An energy efficiency class such as A makes comparison easier, but does not provide an individual annual consumption figure. ECO mode, filling the oven fully and avoiding unnecessary preheating can all affect running costs.
This depends on how often it is used and the amount of food residue. Visible grease should be removed once the oven has cooled. A more thorough clean is advisable if residues produce smoke or odours, or build up on the walls and around the heating areas. Cleaning products and grill accessories should always be suitable for the specific material.
