Whirlpool cooks us breakfast
September 23rd, 2011
Last Thursday the lucky staff at Appliances Online were treated to ‘breakfast at desk’ thanks to Craige Cole from Whirlpool. Craige was demonstrating Whirlpool’s CRISP plate technology – available in their latest range of microwave ovens.
On the menu was fried eggs, crispy bacon, and golden hash browns – all prepared in a matter of minutes using the Whirlpool VT266 microwave. 
Whirlpool’s innovative CRISP plate is like a frypan that sits inside your microwave, creating perfectly crisp, evenly cooked food in a fraction of the time it would take to cook it on the stove. It’s also an incredibly energy efficient method of cooking.
Cooking with the CRISP plate is simple – even Craige’s 83 year old grandmother finds it easy to use. Just pre-heat the plate in the microwave for 2 minutes, place your food on top, then select the Crisp function and set the time.
In our demonstration, it took 3 minutes to cook 5 eggs and 4 minutes to crisp 8 rashers of bacon. And the hash browns went from frozen to sizzling hot (and completely cooked in the middle) in around 5 minutes.
Amazingly, despite cooking up a huge greasy breakfast for the whole office, the inside of the microwave was still remarkably clean at the end.
Another advantage of the Whirlpool VT266SL microwave is that it has a power range of between 90 and 800 watts. The low power setting is perfect for things like defrosting ice-cream or softening butter without actually cooking the food.
Egg and bacon sandwiches – it’s all part of a hard day’s work at Appliances Online. Thanks to Iron Chef Craige for his time and for the tasty nosh!
