The Crisp and Grill Microwave is perfect for cooking, without heating up the whole kitchen! And takes a fraction of the time compared to an oven. The microwave doesn’t stop when the timer ends, but keeps rotating and warming the food. A machine that microwaves, crisps and grills is genius! It also has a cleaning setting which is great. Thank you Whirpool for this little beauty!

I had a Whirlpool crisp grill microwave for many years and it was absolutely fabulous. However, I replaced the old one with the MWC25BK model and unfortunately it is no where near as good. It takes longer to heat food and the crisp function doesn't crisp as well and takes longer. It is really disappointing as I use it a lot and I wish I hadn't bought it now. I never thought I would ever say that. I also preferred the function controls on the old one.

With it's easy to use Chef Menu, Quartz Grill and 3D Microwave Distribution system, I was and am pleasantly surprised how good this microwave is! Also looks great on my kitchen bench top! We use regularly on weekends to do the party pies and sausage rolls for the football when we have guests and the food is evenly cooked with great results. Can't recommend this unit enough!

Appalling lack of information on how to actually cook food in it. For the price this shows an uncaring attitude to customers and the product. It doesn't inspire confidence in the brand or the product.
Owned it a month, have trawled the internet, I still can't fry or grill a sausage or a steak. Chops cooked on crisp plate were not browned at all; putting them under the grill for 10 minutes did not change the colour at all, just overcooked them. WHERE ARE INSTRUCTIONS AND BASIC RECIPES - some are provided in the Indian manual, none in the Aus/NZ...

I would like to know does a light come on when cooking to make sure nothing is over cooking. Just purchased one and mine doesn’t. My daughter has the whirlpool different model and the light is nice and bright so I don’t boil the milk over..

We've only had this microwave a few days and are already very impressed. With its crisping and browning features it has opened up lots of possibilities for new recipes and will save us lots of time on some old ones. Looking forward to finding out how much more it can do

Our MWC25BK is an upgrade for the ultra-reliable Swedish-built Whirlpool VIP 27 (M360) Convection Microwave with Crisp Function that has been our meal preparation mainstay for almost two decades. Heavily reliant on the Crisp Function and Food programs for most lunches and dinners, choosing the 25 litre Whirlpool Crisp and Grill was a no-brainer. Please note that whilst this is not a convection microwave oven, we have been in no way limited to what we can cook. I love the new unit's design and the way it improves the look of our all-black cookin...
Read moreg precinct The controls are logically-set out and clearly labelled with icons and words. Although 2 litres less in volume than its predecessor, the interior cooking space of the new unit is very spacious indeed. On the cooking front, my perception is that the 3D microwave system by virtue of the positioning of the two wave guides (Lower & Upper Right), makes for better cooking efficiency. I have had to reduce my usual cooking times. The Dual Crisp Function is my most used function thus far, having cooked steaks, burgers, bacon and eggs, sausages, grilled cheese-topped tomatoes, salmon cutlets, and pizza to perfection. I love the easy-to-clean finish of the internal cavity. Normally my wider family members opt for convection units, but I was sold on this model by the many favourable reviews, the Whirlpool brand, the Crisp Function and the price-point. My love affair with Whirlpool products continues! I am sure that you'll fall in love with the 25 litre Crisp & Grill (MWC25) microwave oven as we have!Purchased in at Appliances Online for $316.

Nowhere near as good as my original Whirlpool CrispNGrill VT266
My previous (first ) Whirlpool microwave was the VT 266. It was my excellent experience with the VT266 which informed my decision to purchase another Whirlpool.
However:
A: Having to set the time by using +/_ buttons is nuts. Cooking rice for example, I need 6mins plus 3 mins. That’s a lot of button pushing. Whether I use the jetstart button to add 30 secs at a time or whether I keep my finger on the + button.
B: No way to easily set e.g. 15 or 20 secs - Have to hit Jet start, -, -
C: Chef menu, Really – Chef menu button then 21 press...

Must have! Throw out the oven and this is the all in one piece
This looks sleek and sexy in my kitchen. looks small on the outside but very very roomy inside. amazing amount of cooking options. You can even Grill... This has replaced my 18 year old sharp microwave and the technology is mind blowing. Energy efficient and less cooking time then oven but same results. highly recommend. I look forward to using it even more and trying new recipes. Thank you

This is the easiest and fastest way to cook pizza, nuggets, cheese sandwiches, cakes, steaks and so much more!! Everything is perfect every time.... steaks are still soft and juicy not tough and dried out.
Everyone in the family can operate the functions with ease and get perfect food every time.

I replaced my Whirlpool Microwave after having it for quite a few years. I went for the same brand as I was so happy with it. I am just as happy. I love it. I use the Crisp function all the time. It took me a while to get used to the Defrost Cycle. I’m fine with it now. I don’t use the Chef Function but should and will study it. I would recommend this product to anyone.

Questions & Answers
How do you cook a steak in the crisp n grill? Mine turned out overcooked and not browned in the crisp plate
Bought the Supreme Chef Dual crisp, tried to grill cheese, the element of the grill does not turn red. Is this correct or faulty? The oven was hot and cheese started to melt, however it took 10 min. It was an open sandwich with grated cheese
Hi Reg & Davina,
This is not a fault. Very rarely will the element glow as they cycle so they will turn on and off constantly to maintain the temperature....
Read more Kind Regards, Whirlpool AustraliaHello,
Ours glows red in less than 30secs, did you use the high wire grill rack when using the grill function?...
Read more cheersHi Reg & Davina,
Yes the high-wire grill rack will need to be used with the grill function...
Read more Kind Regards, Whirlpool AustraliaI bought a MWC25 last week. In the Quick Reference Guide for that model there are 10 icons illustrated as being visible in the display window. These are numbered 13 to 22.
On my microwave none of these icons are visible even when the machine is activated.
Could you please inform me how to rectify this problem? Margie
Hi Margaret,
The icon's should display when you select the function your wanting to use. Can you please confirm if they are still not showing once you have selected a function? ...
