- The IKEA Gåtebo is a microwave, air fryer and grill in one
- It costs $199 / £150 / $299, which is much less than most cookers combined.
- Combined with the Tillreda compact induction cooker, it could replace your oven
IKEA’s three-in-one Gåtebo microwave has proven incredibly popular since its launch in Europe last year, and it’s now available worldwide for just $199 / £150 / $299. It’s no bigger than a regular countertop microwave and comes with so many cooking functions that it could easily replace a regular oven for a small household.
Imagine what you could do with all that extra space. You can install a dishwasher if you don’t already have one (one of the best kitchen appliances ever), have under-counter trash cans for sorting trash and recycling, install a full-size water softener, or simply have an extra cupboard for all your oils and spices.
Microwave and air fryer combos aren’t a totally new concept, and they’re a great option if you’ve resisted purchasing an air fryer due to a lack of space. Even the compact Ninja Double Stack still has a footprint of 11 x 18.5 inches / 28 cm x 47 cm, which is substantial when you’re already dealing with a cramped workspace.
The Gåtebo’s cooking options include microwave, grill, air fry, defrost, tea/coffee warming, and two combination cooking modes (microwave and grill, and microwave and convection). Don’t know where to start? The manual provides step-by-step instructions for favorites like fries, potato wedges, chicken wings and nuggets.
But what about rice and pasta? Well, ditching your regular oven doesn’t necessarily mean losing your stovetop. IKEA has a huge range of cheap induction hobs, including the portable Tillreda, which costs just $74.99 / £45 / AU$49, and can be hung or hidden when you’re not cooking dinner.
Gåtebo is also remarkably inexpensive. For comparison, our current top-rated microwave/air fryer combo is the Samsung Combi Smart Microwave, which is more than double the price at £329 (around $440 / AU$660).
I haven’t yet gotten my hands on the Gåtebo to test its cooking powers for myself, but I hope to review it soon and see if it deserves a spot in our comprehensive roundup of the best air fryers. Who knows, it could even dethrone the Samsung Combi.
