I don't comment on videos much - unless they are useful or extraordinary... I used your video as my first "class" in my first attempt to make a whole chicken in my new Breville the other evening for dinner. My chicken was 6 lbs (Costco), so I tweaked it a bit. I didn't have the seasonings you used, but the instructions were so simple that I believed any favorite seasoning can be used. I wasn't wrong. I chose to improvise and used the juice of one lemon, the zest from it, olive oil, rosemary, salt and pepper. Due to the larger size of the bird, I guestimated and added 30 min to the cooking time after checking for doneness at the end of the 1 hour 5 minute food menu preset. It turned out perfect! Crispy skin on the outside and moist light and dark meat on the inside. I served it over a simple salad of romaine, Roma tomatoes and avocado, due to our ungodly hot SoCal weather. Thank you for the simple and not too time consuming lesson. I am a complete newbie to this machine and this helped me immensely by giving me the confidence to try it. We just moved into an RV and am having to relearn cooking from conventional appliances to this combination unit as well as making smaller portions due to our shrinking family! Thanks again, and I look forward to more lessons. Have a great one! :)
That was a great video! I just purchased one today and you showed me something I'm going to love to try (and I think make all the time) so easy and the best of every way to cook a chicken and none of the hassle. Woah!
Every time I roast chicken I cover it in butter or oil, so I had my doubts that my chicken would still be juicy. It was! And, the skin was crispy! Roasting chicken usually involves so much labor from basting and turning. I was shocked to be able to just season this up, throw it in the oven and end up with a perfectly cooked bird. Thank you for this recipe and demonstration!!
Thank you for your very well explained videos on this microwave which I have just ordered. This has been a great help and I shall follow any more videos you may have.
Great Job! Liked your 30 day review as well, trying to see how to put it into play now! My wife and I have been thinking about one of these and you've really helped us decide! Love your calm demeanor as well!!
Great review! That's the best looking baked chicken that I've seen of any of the microwave convection oven demos and I've seen a number of them on TH-cam!
Great review! It’d be awesome if you could create a playlist on BRANDS. I’m here for the Breville experience yet it’s soo challenging to find any other videos you’ve done (if you have?) for it.
There is a playlist (or 2 or more) for every cooker reviewed on this channel: Breville Combi Wave 3 in 1: th-cam.com/play/PLdwaKyfn2J3rYHDyFgCQ9iZ4xS2U32_nU.html
Great video. about to use it for the first time to roast a chicken but I would like to add some veggies - will have to experiment to see if I should add them half way thru the cook or at the beginning. and does this ADD to the time of the cook - guess I am thinking microwave volume add more time - whereas I THINK this is more convection....we shall see
Nicely done, buddy - you use one of my tried and true techniques - glove on the left hand for handling the meat, right hand, no glove for seasoning and whatnot... took me a while to get used to keeping them separate!! Also, I’m damn sure you could have pulled that guy at 162° and tented him with foil, , and he would’ve risen up to 165°, and possibly been better, and still “food safe” - carry over cooking can really finish for you, just a thought. I really appreciate your videos, as I just purchased a Breville just a few days ago...
I prefer 165, too! Mine went way past that because I was thinking of it as a microwave and left it in the oven after the timer went off. Yikes! I usually would have taken it out at 165 ish for carryover. Somehow, despite it being 190 it was still juicy.
Can you please share with us your long-term experience/review with this microwave/oven? I'm curious about its life span or what common problems develop. Thank you! I love your channel
a couple years ago you did a chicken in the nuwave oven the round one qand you were saying that was very juicy and tender whic did you like bvetter that chicjken in the nuwave oven or this one ? thanks
Hi. I have a question about this unit. Does it have a cool down feature, and if it does, when does it run and for how long? My current microwave has a cool down feature that drives me nuts. If I soften some butter for 10 seconds, it cools down for a full minute. If I scramble an egg for my dog for 30 seconds, it cools down for a minute. Basically it just makes a whole lot of unnecessary noise and wastes power. I can get that it could be a useful feature after a longer cook, but not after every single time it gets run for a second. I’m almost sold on this Breville, mostly because of the different tones and the ability to mute them totally if my ears are really bad on a particular day, but if it does the same noisy cool down thing as my current one maybe it’s not quite right for me.
For anyone reading this later, the microwave I had died completely so I took the plunge and bought the Breville Combi Wave. It does have a cool down feature. Pretty much all microwaves do these days. I haven’t timed how long it runs yet. It’s variable depending on how hot it is, but no doubt there’s a minimum. However, the noise of the cooling is much less obtrusive than my previous microwave, because the running noise overall is lower, so the cool down is also lower, but mostly the thing that makes the difference is the lack of horrid beeps and horrid reminder beeps. I have it set on the Breville tones and it dings once at the end, then cools. That’s it. No reminders. If I do want to use the mute it takes 2 quick button pushes to turn it on and then it stays muted until you unmute it, but so far the ding is okay. Obviously I have some issues with my ears and my last microwave was driving me batty, but I’m loving the Breville so far. I’ve had it about a week now. Tonight I’m going to try baking in it! I’m having lots of fun learning all the things it can do which is not something I have ever said about a microwave before lol. If you have a specific question or concern about it before you splash out and buy one, tag me and I will do my best to answer as completely as possible. It’s not exactly cheap so I understand that it can be really helpful to have a question answered before you hand over that amount of money.
Can I ask please:- I’m interested in getting a quiet microwave which is my priority as I live in an apartment. I like that these ovens have different functions so I’m interested in getting one but before I do I need to seek some assurance about the noise levels as they are expensive to buy in the U.K. thank you 😊
I want this for when I go to college so I won’t have to use the community kitchen 😭 imma be making baked macaroni, lasagna , chicken, meatloaf, all types of stuff. I just need something that I can use to boil and pan fry stuff.
Interesting Review (Thank you) And, preceeding comments well noted! A quick question of concern, regarding cleaning the 1930's heating element ... !? Sooner of later; the oven side of the cooking ... it's heating element in the top of the microwave (which is very exposed) '''will'''; sooner of later, get food particles up on it (for example, a great round of cheese-on-toast) those particles, will get roasted and burnt onto that element ... !? How can you easily clean that element of all burnt food particles, without, leaning in there with a little pan scrubber and scrubbing off all those burnt particles ... and thats if you can get them all off! You won't ... !!! Especially around where the heating element mounts to the inner oven casing ... !? Does the element, pop-out for easy cleaning ... !? A 2022 '3-in-1' microwave with a 1930's cleaning problem ... !? Or, is there a button you press and some magic Genie (dressed in her little nothings ... !) pop out and clean the oven for you ... Haha! I don't want to go backwards in time; having to put on a full set of overalls and climb in there every so often to de-coke that 1930's heating element; and, if you '''don't''' clean it, every so often; YOU WILL GET A SMOKER, AND PERHAPS WORSE ... Weep !? Love any thoughts ... !? Best ... William (Hampshire UK)
This isn't any quicker than with a conventional fan oven, but its using more energy: microwave, convection and grill. So it takes longer than a fan oven would and uses more in energy. I was impressed with this oven until I saw this review of how to cook a whole chicken. This is not a criticism on your review, as I've found all your reviews really good and very well demonstrated and explained. I have a Samsung Hotblast microwave and it cooks a whole 4.1/2lb chicken with hotblast, convection and grill in 30 minutes and it's juicy and cooked through without being dry with crispy skin. Cooking in 30 mins it actually saves money as it uses less energy. I just feel the Sage/Breville combi wave uses more energy than a conventional fan oven so doesn't save any money and saving money by using a combi oven is surely the main reason for cooking with a combi oven?
A "conventional fan oven" is a big convection oven. Large conventional ovens, including ones with convection consume more energy than countertop cookers. th-cam.com/video/AqeCW2oyxsk/w-d-xo.html
@WaveOvenRecipes I'm a traeger grill guy and cook outside all the time most chicken is cooked to internal 160 and rested, it's just a good rule, I cook chicken in my breville too to 160 and it works

Be careful when pushing the combi wave to its limit. I read several reviews saying how the glass exploded while cooking.
Mone never even had a single crack and ran fine no matter how it was used.

I did not say anyone lied. I shared my personal account.
I also know many fail to fully read and follow instructions.

Thanks after about a year my door stopped locking fully I have to wedge it up with a jar...ever had that issue
No, I recommend you contact the manufacturer and stop using it.
Is this better than my ninja food I?
My only concern is you can not cover the chicken inside oven/ microwave so it is direct to the heating rays which is not healthy.
