Whirlpool’s super-quick JetChef cooker

Thanks to their energy-saving credentials, it’s OK to love microwave ovens again, especially when they have a cool-sounding name like JetChef and the ability to cook preset meals in record time.

The JetChef uses microwave technology, but everything else is new. The door opens downwards like a conventional oven and the hinges are strong enough to hold a casserole dish. It can both steam vegetables and crisp meat and pastries on the outside.

It’s Sixth Sense technology monitors the conditions inside and adjusts the power and temperature if it’s too dry. The Jet cooking refers to the preset shortcut buttons. Slam in a fish and press the fish button for super-fast fish supper.
