Multifunctional microwave ovens with grill and convection

As some users write in the reviews of the model: "The oven does not set the table and does not go to the grocery store." But she can cook food absolutely on her own, for which 60 recipes of traditional Russian cuisine and 15 more healthy food preparation programs are sewn into the device's memory.

Support for convection and grilling modes allows you to replace the microwave oven. Accordingly, you can cook in it whatever your soul desires — from meat dishes to desserts. It should only be borne in mind that the microwave is inferior in power to ovens, so in comparison with them, the cooking time will be slightly increased.

Of the interesting programs in the arsenal of the device, a special line is allocated to the fermentation mode, with which it is possible to prepare yogurt — a few units of microwave ovens can boast of such a function. Another exotic "feature" of the model is the deodorization function, the purpose of which lies in the elimination of unwanted odours from the working chamber.

The inner coating of the microwave oven is made of ceramic. The advantages of this design include excellent scratch resistance, a high level of antibacterial protection and ease of cleaning the walls of the model from dirt.

To the right of the door, which makes loud noises when closed, there is a flat control panel for the operation of the furnace. And although it is pseudo-sensory, it does not make it harder to press buttons. All controls have pictograms of the functions performed, which simplifies the intuitive perception of the purpose of a particular key. As a result, we can safely say that heating food is not among the top priorities of Samsung MC28H5013AW. She is more likely to play the role of an assistant in cooking, which the oven handles with to the fullest.

LG MJ-3294BAB will surely appeal to those who plan to cook or warm up food for a company of 3-4 people. The thing is that the useful volume of the microwave chamber is 32 liters — it will fit an entire medium turkey, which can be cooked with a crispy crust using a combination of grill and convection modes.

The upper part of the touch control panel is occupied by a group of four keys with programmed self-preparation of dishes from different cuisines of the world: Russian, French, Italian and Oriental. In total, 26 recipes are sewn into the device's memory, which are described in detail in the instructions for the microwave. The convection mode has 6 more cooking programs, and the auto—defrosting function has 4 programs for different types of products.

The microwave allows you to make a choice between 5 power levels: from 180 to 900 watts, depending on the specific situation. For example, it is easier to soften the oil slightly in the minimum mode, and in order to quickly boil the water, it is better to set the power to maximum.

The model is equipped with a folding door, which increases its similarity with the family of ovens. It practically does not lag behind them in terms of functionality. It's not for nothing that the oven can cook meat, bake a pie or fry French fries with an appetizing crust. All this is given to the microwave without any problems, rather on the contrary — it will choose the necessary working time itself, based on the type and weight of the prepared products.

The microwave is supplied with two grilles for the grill (high and low), its control panel is equipped with a child lock, and the turntable can be easily turned off forcibly in order to place large dishes in the chamber (for example, a glass goose coop). These mere trifles complement the pleasant impression of the furnace, especially since it has no significant drawbacks at all.

The microwave oven from the Italian brand De'Longhi will delight its owners with many useful functions focused on both heating and cooking.

One of the interesting functions is called "Breakfast". When it is started, a hot drink (tea or coffee) and a bakery product (croissant or donut) are heated sequentially. Adherents of such breakfasts will certainly like this mode. In addition, a separate programme "Pizza" is sewn into the microwave, which is suitable, including for the preparation of frozen pies or semi-finished products.

In addition to operating each mode separately, the model is able to combine microwaves and convection, as well as microwaves and a grill. The first combo mode makes it possible to quickly get a uniformly cooked dish, and the second is optimal for creating dishes with a crispy crust. The temperature inside the microwave oven chamber in convection mode can vary from 60 to 200 °C.

Everyone will be able to understand the intricacies of controlling the model — 7 separate keys with clear pictograms and one clock switch simplify the process of adjusting the parameters of heating, cooking or defrosting food as much as possible. The rotary switch allows you to set the cooking time (up to 60 minutes), set the required temperature or specify the value of the start delay, so that by the time you come home from work, the dish is waiting for you ready to serve on the table.

There are practically no significant complaints from the owners of the De'Longhi MW30F about any shortcomings in the design or operation of the furnace. But commendable reviews are common. To the greatest extent, they relate to the level of functionality of the model, but they do not ignore the modern design, which helps the oven stand out and occupy one of the key places in the kitchen.

Kitchen devices from the German company Caso stand out from the competition by careful design. The elegant case of the Caso MCG 25 Chef microwave oven is another confirmation of this.

The substrate under the push-button control panel is a visual continuation of the mirror door, the opening mechanism of which is implemented by pressing a button. Such a style of execution looks very advantageous, but from a practical point of view it cannot be called perfect — the mirror parts of the case are actively getting dirty and require increased attention in care.

Caso MCG 25 Chef combines 3 modes of operation: microwaves, grill and convection. There are 9 automatic programs and 2 combined programs for cooking (grill and convection in different proportions). The power adjustment in the microwave mode and when using the convection function is carried out in 10 levels.

The microwave oven creates a huge competition for compact electric ovens. It is particularly evident in the advanced convection capabilities — the model provides the ability to adjust the temperature in the range from 110 °C to 200 °C, and the cooking timer can be set for up to 95 minutes. After the specified time has elapsed, a sound signal is given, which can be turned off in the settings.

Stainless steel is used as the material of the internal coating of the microwave oven — durable and resistant to high temperatures. The dishes are installed on a rotary plate (27 cm in diameter) made of high-strength glass. With modest dimensions (28x49x41 cm), the volume of the oven chamber is 25 liters, which is enough for heating or cooking large portions of food.

 

Many automatic cooking programs, built-in steam generator, LED display with backlight, large capacity, steam cleaning function of the chamber, touch control.

 

 

High cost.

 

The multifunctional model from Panasonic is something more than an ordinary microwave oven. She can become a full-fledged replacement for the stove, oven, yogurt maker and even a steamer.

Against the background of other representatives of its class, the device looks somewhat unusual. The fact is that the microwave emitter is located at the bottom, thanks to which the door of the model turned out to be solid and a touch control panel with a large LCD display is built right into it. The information on the screen is displayed in Russian, in the dark, the blue backlight helps to read the data. With this design, the working chamber occupies a maximum of usable space, and its capacity is an impressive 32 liters.

The key role of the oven is to assist in the preparation of healthy food. For these purposes, a steam generator is included in its design, with the help of which it is easy to make healthy steaks for a couple or minimize oil consumption in the case of cooking ordinary food (its disadvantage is compensated by a certain amount of steam). Also, the steam generator serves to soften dirt from the wall of the working chamber in its cleaning mode.

For those who do not want to bother too much with cooking, 48 self-cooking programs are provided. Dishes of European, Russian and Pan-Asian cuisine are available to choose from, and detailed recipes for mixing ingredients are given in the instructions for the oven. In the future, the model decides in which mode and at what power to cook: it can combine microwaves, grill and convection, or turn on these modes separately.

Another feature of the microwave oven is the inverter technology of the magnetron (in the mode of microwave waves). With its help, the destruction of the structure of products is prevented and it becomes possible to cook at lower capacities, for example, to achieve softening of butter or ice cream to a homogeneous consistency. A rich set of advantages of the model affected its cost, but it is absolutely not a pity to give your hard-earned money for such a progressive microwave oven, because it is one of the best of its kind kitchen devices for home use.
