Smeg has just launched a stylish microwave and air fryer combo, which will cook everything from creamy oatmeal to crispy chicken.

• Smeg launches two new combined microwaves: the MOC01 and the MOC02
• The MOC01 has microwave and grill options, with multi-stage cooking.
• The more versatile MOC02 also offers air fryer and fan oven modes.

Smeg has just launched a combination microwave, air fryer, fan oven and grill that can prepare almost any dish and look great while doing it. The Italian company is known for its stylish appliances, including its iconic retro refrigerators, and the new MOC02 combi microwave is no exception. With sleek lines and a choice of four colors (matte black, white, emerald green and storm blue), it would look perfect alongside kitchen appliances like the BCC13 coffee maker, which received five stars in my review.

The MOC02 combi can do everything from defrosting frozen meals to cooking crispy chicken wings. Better yet, you can use multi-stage cooking to switch from one mode to another. For example, you can use microwave mode to quickly bake a potato and then switch to air fryer mode to crisp up the skin once the inside is soft.

According to Smeg, the MOC02’s fan oven mode uses microwave energy as well as convection, allowing it to cook food much faster than a normal oven, cooking a salmon fillet to perfection in just 10 minutes. It’s available today directly from Smeg’s online store for £449.95 (around $600 / AU$850).

If you don’t need all the cooking features of the MOC02, there’s also a new microwave and grill combo, the MOC01, which has the same sleek look but without the air fryer and fan oven functionality. Its multi-stage cooking makes it particularly good for dishes like baked pasta that need to be crispy on top after cooking.
