Morphy Richards vs Sage | Premium vs Budget Test | The Gadget Show

[@ShoutingQuietly]

Geniuses didn't have the thought to cook the chicken breast side down for the first half, which gives a much crisper skin and more juicy meat. I bought the budget one before seeing this and we now cook everything in it, never turn on the main oven. Cakes, whole chicken, steamed veg from frozen, apart from fried food it's in the microwave. Never had a bad result. Before cooking anything for the first time I just look at someone else doing it on KZbin..

There is a problem, very few demo videos actually use the combinations, Why? Because the manufacturers don't make it easy to work out how the combination will affect the food you are cooking. You don't want to be risking a valuable piece of meat on a system where you do not really know what is going to happen. Nearly all of them tell you about Salmon and asparagus, neither of which are really part of basic weekly meals. If you have a probe that helps a lot, but you still have to decide a mix of microwave, combi oven and maybe grill, that will cook and brown, before you hit the probe temperature. You can't help feeling it should be a useful combination, but as I said, we have to take a risk a few times before we work out how to use them. That risk has you turning on the conventional oven just because it is so much easier.

I paid £155 for my smart oven with 21 cooking modes, holds 30 litres, and came with a rotisserie and even an oven glove!

Does it let you use aluminium foil on the pan while using air fryer? .

[@SebastianDimmock]

Completely unfair test using the sages grill on low without the legs up where the budget one is on a high rack

[@gadgetman36]

For me Panasonic combination microwaves are the best and I refuse to buy anything else.

[@ben3291]

I agree I have a Panasonic Combi Flatbed oven it's 10 years old and works perfectly still.

[@sejautie]

Panasonic and Sharp are the best I think sage is a good machine I think breville make them but better than Mr?

[@versi1098]

I have a combi sage. Although useful the door is now falling apart, not exactly the greatest quality.

[@ben3291]

The sage ovens also have an inherent fault with the Crispin pan with the legs melting and coming off. I like the look and the concept of the SAGE but I will stick with and buy Panasonic anyday had my one now 10 years and still working great

[@sejautie]

​@@ben3291yes Panasonic and Sharp is good I had 40liter Sharp 14 years with quartz grill but sage is breville not bad machine

[@hectorheath9742]

My pet peeve is the three legged grilling racks, great design if you want your scalding hot food to spill as you slide it off the rack and the rack tips. Idiot design.

The Sage Is BREVILLE!!

[@JohnSmith-ft4gc]

and the Breville is Sage. I suspect one acquired the other & each brand was maintained due to the existing name recognition. I have to wonder about the organisation & increased costs of having a seperate product line for the UK, although it's probably insignificant to stamp the door 1 of 2 ways, vs varied power inputs for various countries.

The sage has the bubles

What a terrible video, I didn't get beyond the creamy pots. They are cooked in the oven not the grill. I have a combination microwave and the grill function has 3 heat settings, when preparing the pots the lady was holding a pot with bare fingers. Not hot then. The taste test was obviously done using warm to cold food. This comparison was done on a narrow boat, where did they get the electricity to power these devices? Any generator on a narrow boat would have tripped out the moment one of them was switched on. FAKE FAKE FAKE that's for each, the product test, the boat owner and that pathetic presenter. I had stopped watching the gadget show along time ago. This crap just reinforced my decision.

On the power supply issue, the could have hooked it up to local grid.
