D Micromix stirs while it cooks

This beautifully simple British invention stirs food while it cooks in the microwave. Perfect for dishes like scrambled eggs, sauces, porridge or custard. The Micromix stirring action not only keeps the food at the right consistency but also eliminates health concerns over uneven heating. Better still, it prevents "hot-spots", which reduces the likelihood of boiling over and means you don't need to cover the dish! Why not get on with something else while the Micromix does the stirring for you? Fits all microwave ovens with a turn­table. Micromix 6.99.
