Any recommendation for convection microware oven?

[Ender]

 

their "grill" means using a fan to blow the heated air around the meat right?

My Sharp's 3 in 1 grill is a real grill.. i.e. there orange glow heating element, and over cook mean the outer layer of the food gets chow tar.

[Latio2005A]

OK, consulted Mr Google:

 

Convection ovens/fan ovens augment a traditional oven by circulating heated air using a high temperature fan. By moving hot air past the food, convection ovens can operate at a lower temperature than a standard conventional oven and they can cook food more quickly.

A grill is a device or surface used for cooking food, usually fueled by gas or charcoal. Grilling is a form of cooking that involves direct heat.

hmm strictly speaking that's just a convection oven. Yes just moving hot air around.

That's pretty good.

 

Thought mostly only built ins have the fan.

 

But nevermind lah. Ho jiak more important lol.

Hmm, ok, but it's got separate buttons convection and grill too...

 

Anyway, I use grill for meat and convection for baking, all turn out as expected, phew..

On my Samsung Trio, I use a mix of microwave + convection to heat fries straight from the freezer.

 

It's ok for me, simple and good enough to eat.

 

But everyone has his own way of cooking.

I know this is a super old thread but just the same, I rather stick to this thread.

There are many reasons you may want to consider a steam oven, here are a few.

Healthier, more nutrient dense food - Cooking with high temperatures in a traditional oven can destroy heat sensitive nutrients, such as vitamin c and folate. Steam helps retain these valuable nutrients.

No need to use fatty oils - Since steam provides a naturally moist cooking environment, you won't need to incorporate oils into your cooking, keeping calorie count lower.

Better reheating results than microwaves - Steam can reheat your leftovers evenly and without drying out your food and ruining the texture

Save time on preheating and cooking - Since the oven cavity is smaller than a traditional oven, preheat time is much quicker. Also, as we mentioned, steam is a much better conductor of temperature than air and therefore cooks much faster. For example, a serving of Salmon that would typically take 20 minutes to cook in an oven at 400 only takes 5-8 minutes using steam.

How does a steam oven work?

A steam oven looks like a typical oven you'll see in many homes. However, instead of using a heating element for cooking, a steam oven brings water to a boiling hot 212 degrees (the point at which water turns to steam), injecting a moist heat into the oven cavity. While 212 degrees might not seem that hot, especially when you are used to cooking at 400 degrees using a traditional style oven, water is a much better conductor of heat than air. As an example, I'm sure you've reached your hand into a 400 degree oven to pull out a baking sheet without injury. However I highly recommend you don't stick your hand in a 212 degree pot of boiling water even for half a second.

Where does the water supply come from? (Reservoir vs. plumbed)

There are two different ways to provide water to the steam oven, either with a refillable water reservoir, like a Keurig coffee machine, or a plumbed water line directly to the unit. If you are designing a new kitchen we highly recommend the plumbed option as this will help you avoid the hassle of having to refill the water tank.

I am in need of replacing my Build in oven or rather , it has already met the karang guni man..

I am intending to get a stand alone unit and a 4 in 1 steam oven. Have hear there is 6 in one as well.

Capacity probably 27L to 35 L

Short listed Sharp and Panasonic. But am open to other brand / suggestion.

The older model which is Ax1600 has color screen but its now no longer in production.

Anyone has an opinion on the steam oven, kindly share your view, good or bad, no worries.

Don't understand. you have a built in that you junked. So just fill up the space with a convection oven or steam oven.

If u need a steamer, just buy a steamer pot?
U can even get those with multi layers. Or attachments with steamer tray over your rice cooker pot.

Costs maybe 1/10th of the price of a steam oven and can last u a whole lifetime.

What can this 35 dollar pot can't do that a steam oven can?

Absolutely nothing.

If u have an existing wok or soup pot, i don't even see any need for a steamer pot. Unless u want to steam multiple layers of food.

Steam oven is good, the price is not.  

Now, I still can steamed food using the good ole microwave oven. Just need a good quality sealed plastic container.

I have a Panasonic one, using for the 6th year and working well. Sent once to the service centre after out of warranty, good experience and repair was alot cheaper than I thought. All in all served me well, save space, I use it to microwave, steam and grill. Won't hesitate to get another if current one dies.

Actually based on my understanding there's no such thing as heat safe food plastics. They still release plasticisers. Even those food safe ones. Use it only for convenience.

buying white goods need to maintain peace like going to the UN for a memorandum sometimes.

Need to confirm the functional aspect . Need to check if the color scheme match with the rest of the cabinet and appliance..

And finally the price. 

Since the kitchen is not my department. You can guess I am not at liberty to decide what to buy..
