Anyway, there is enough kitchen space, and Aunt's family already has a lot of millet appliances. After comparing several brands of embedded steaming ovens, we finally started with Mijia intelligent embedded steaming and baking machine S 1.
This is also Xiaomi's first embedded steaming oven integrated product. Compared with many steaming and baking machines on the market, the price in the early 3000 s is very cost-effective, and the volume of 58L is also significantly higher. The control mode of knob+mobile APP+ small love speaker is also the most abundant.
However, the most important reason why my aunt finally started to use it is the organic light-emitting diode intelligent display knob. Because my aunt also has a Mijia induction cooker, which is designed by this design, and my aunt especially likes it. So I ruled out all the steaming machines controlled by touch buttons that I recommended.
At present, my aunt's feedback is that this organic light-emitting diode intelligent display knob is really easy to use. By rotating and pressing the knob, time, temperature and mode can be quickly switched, and intuitive prompts can be given on the organic light-emitting diode screen.
When unpacking and installing, Auntie's family forgot to take photos, but it is said that the service of the installation master is still in place and she took away the garbage when she left. To be honest, this attitude is extremely rare in small cities in the fourth and fifth lines.
The volume of 58L is larger than expected, and the volume of water tank is 2L. It's perfect for an aunt who likes to cook at home and entertain her friends.
At first, I didn't understand the concept of this volume deeply. My aunt's words made me understand: "Your mother-in-law is going to keep the red-crowned rooster until the end of the year and put it in a steaming oven to cook a whole chicken easily." You see, people who cook often have their own quantitative system.
This starry blue enamel liner, even if it is taken by middle-aged and elderly people, can also see a sense of exquisiteness.
Behind the turbine-shaped air hole, there should be a customized two-speed motor. Through high-speed rotation, three-dimensional hot air can be quickly formed in the box, and the hot air can flow, so that the food can be heated more evenly and the food can be crisped.
Besides roasting, the water in the built-in water tank can also generate a large amount of steam through the steam generator, which can keep the fresh flavor of the ingredients when steaming vegetables.
Let's show the strength of this steaming oven through several dishes cooked by my aunt during this time. In my aunt's words, because of the lack of research, this machine is far from exerting its full strength, but it can also reflect its practicality to some extent.
Let's talk about baking first. This steaming oven can easily ferment and bake. When making some desserts, using its fermentation function can greatly save the time of natural fermentation.
Just add a little butter and sugar to ordinary flour, knead it into small balls, sprinkle a little sesame seeds, and you can make a delicious afternoon dessert. This aunt's specialty dessert, whose name is still unknown, still retains the characteristics of soft inside and crisp outside.
Roasted chicken wings test the baking function. After all, even the dishes I can learn are not difficult for a combination of a good chef and a strong steaming oven.
In addition to the traditional baking function, the air explosion function it provides is also very practical. This kind of chicken chops, my aunt said, used to burn oil and fry in a pot, which was very troublesome. With air explosion, just set the mode and temperature. Chicken chops contain less oil and taste healthier. I don't have to envy my mother-in-law's air fryer.
Baked potatoes with cheese are different from most online practices. Aunt doesn't like mashing potatoes completely, but keeps a certain shape. After baking in the steaming oven, the cheese is soft and dense, and the potatoes still retain a slight graininess. More importantly, it is no longer as easy to harden the skin as an ordinary oven.
Steamed ribs with glutinous rice, which used to be cooked in a steamer, can be cooked well in Mijia embedded steamer with the help of 2L water tank and surging steam. Glutinous rice will not take away the juice in ribs because of lack of steaming, and ribs will not send firewood at all.
Steamed bass, this is not my aunt's craft, but my uncle who is not very good at cooking. It tastes a little bad, but it is said that the finished product tastes quite delicious, which can be seen from the fish tail without any signs of crispness.
For auntie's family, the functions of intelligent display knob and automatic flip cover are very useful, but if you are a young user like me, you may be more interested in the built-in 50+ recipes. You can set the temperature and time through NFC, which is the gospel of lazy people. It is also an extremely novel way to control through the small love speaker.
In a word, this intelligent embedded steaming and baking machine S 1 with a price of about 3,000 yuan is still worth starting, because it has an advantageous volume in the same price range, and its cooking methods such as steaming, baking and frying are excellent, and the operation methods of different ages are also very easy to use.
