Hi All,

A couple weeks ago I got myself a new Kenwood conventional microwave as my Belling had packed up .

Tonight I cooked 2 defrosted chicken breasts in it, and thanks to dual cooking technology, they were fully cooked in 6 minutes !! .

They would take 20/25 minutes for the same quality of cooking in my George Foreman roasting machine.

I am so impressed with this machine

What does "dual cooking technology" mean?

I must admit to being very sceptical when I read the claim in the instructions for our Panasonic, that it would cook a whole chicken in around 20 minutes - but I gave it a shot, and in fairness, it did, and it did a reasonably good job of it too (I still prefer a conventional oven to roast a chicken, but it was perfectly edible for times when in a rush)

It means it uses both the conventional heat plus the microwaves to cook the product. Both breasts were cooked all the way thru and were not dry.

He said they were defrosted, not frozen. Or am I reading it wrong?

My microwave (Swan) defrosts, heats, cooks and grills food on one continuous setting.

I can put two frozen solid chicken or turkey breasts in, and less than 12 minutes later, be serving them up, perfectly cooked through (I am scrupulous about this), not dry and very tasty.
