Multi-function, multi use.
4/5
There are many scenarios in which the Russell Hobbs Mini Kitchen could be put to use. For me, most of my kitchen frustrations surface around my oven - be it lack of shelf space or struggling to cook multiple items at the same time when they all require different cooking temperatures.
I look on with jealousy when I see other people with double ovens - something I cannot implement without a major remodel of my kitchen. So for me, I see the Russell Hobbs Mini Kitchen as a useful additional device to supplement my main oven, provide additional capacity for cooking larger meals and allowing me to have different food cooking at different temperatures at the same time.
Others will see the Russell Hobbs Mini Kitchen as a useful main device in a Student flat, apartment or in a staff room or staff canteen. However you choose to use it, the Russell Hobbs Mini Kitchen has plenty to offer.
It has 2 hot plates on the top - of different sizes and power outputs providing great versatility depending on what you want to cook. The oven/grill is equally versatile with options for using as an oven, grilling, warming and defrosting.
The one drawback if you are using the Russell Hobbs Mini Kitchen as a main device is that you cannot utilise both the hot plates and the oven/grill at the same time. This is not such a barrier if you are using it as an additional oven in your kitchen, but as a main device it means you will have to be more selective when choosing the meals you want to cook.
Size matters when you have to allocate valuable worktop real estate. Surprisingly, while the Russell Hobbs Mini Kitchen is a little deeper and a little taller than a conventional microwave, it's length is very similar meaning it won't take up much additional space if you decide an extra oven is more beneficial to you than your microwave.
The Russell Hobbs Mini Kitchen is easy to set up, quick to heat up, quiet in operation and most importantly delivers great results making it a great addition to any kitchen. The black and silver design is also modern and stylish meaning it won't look out of place even in the trendiest of kitchens.
