Grilling steak in a microwave? Kmart’s $15 gadget is blowing shoppers away

Kmart’s latest $15 kitchen gadget is stirring up shoppers—and it’s not just about toasties.

Fans of the original Microwave Toastie Maker are now raving about a new, larger version that’s creating crispy meals straight from the microwave.

It’s cheap, compact and apparently cooks better than anyone expected.


The new Microwave Grill Plate from Kmart had big shoes to fill, following the runaway success of its smaller predecessor.

But if early reviews are anything to go by, it’s already won over fans looking for fast, fuss-free cooking.

Retailing for just $15, the Microwave Grill Plate has been designed to crisp up everything from meat to sandwiches—without needing a full kitchen setup.

Kmart described the plate as ‘perfect for toasted sandwiches, meats and more’ and claimed it was ‘ideal for quick, hassle-free cooking at home or on the go.’

Dina Santos, who previously owned the smaller toastie version, said she was initially sceptical about the larger one—but quickly changed her tune.

‘I got the small version a couple of months ago and loved it so much, so when I saw the larger version, I needed to get it,’ she said.

‘It’s definitely a must-have, especially for someone with allergies, who needs something like this to use at work or while travelling.’

‘The quality is amazing for the price range, and I definitely recommend it.’

‘Seriously, I can't fault it.’


Other shoppers chimed in with glowing reviews after Dina shared a video of the grill plate in action, toasting Turkish bread.

One person wrote, ‘I was so sceptical with the initial one, but it has been a godsend moving around!’

Another added, ‘Ahhh we have the small one! Might need this one too.’

A third said, ‘I’m actually so surprised how crispy it goes for being in the microwave.’

Others said it was a ‘game changer’ and a brilliant option for limited work kitchens or travel.

‘That works way better than I expected,’ one shopper commented.

Kmart’s budget cookware range continues to prove that you don’t need to spend a fortune to make meals that hit the spot.
