This time, I will evaluate two popular small steaming, roasting and frying machines on the market, namely:
1, kaidu ST20N-S6 1G steaming, roasting and frying machine (this article will be referred to as kaidu for convenience of expression).
In March, 2022, Kaidu introduced a new household multifunctional machine with a capacity of 20 liters.
2. Chef DB600 steaming, roasting and frying machine (for convenience of expression, this article will be referred to as "Chef" for short)
The capacity is 26 liters and the usable capacity is 22 liters. It was launched in May, 20021year. The oven brand launched by Boss Electric has been on the market for more than a year.
Here, I also correct an obsession. Although we will encourage greater oven capacity when purchasing and recommending ovens, many small partners will feel that they are only at home and do not need such a large capacity; The two multifunctional machines evaluated this time have the blessing of heating pipe fans, which are similar to the configuration of vacuum air stoves and can actually bring faster heating speed and heating efficiency.
Because it is an all-in-one machine, after the actual experience, you will find that the all-in-one machine can meet the daily needs of the family with a capacity of 20 liters. The desktop design is more flexible in space placement and the budget is more close to the people. Of course, if you have enough budget, it is not bad to pursue large capacity. This time, it is still evaluated from a practical point of view.
In response to your question, you will see in the assessment:
Remarks: For the convenience of expression, it will be referred to as Kaidu and Chef for short.
Kaidu product size is 420mm dragon; 429mm wide; The height is 373mm, the capacity is 20 liters, and the rated power is1650 w w. The exterior will look closer to a square, more exquisite and compact, and the color is the popular lake green.
The chef's product size is 530mm dragon; 400mm wide; The height is 360mm, the capacity is 26 liters, and the rated power is 2000W W W. Because of its long length, it looks larger visually. In terms of color, the chef supports a variety of colors (lemon green, sea salt blue, raspberry red), and for better contrast, the lake green is uniformly selected.
Kaidu: Baking pan/oil pan, perforated steaming pan, hot gloves, instructions, recipes.
Chef: Steaming and baking tray, frying and baking net, scale remover, absorbent ball, instruction manual, menu, evaporation tray.
It is necessary to nag a few words about accessories. Considering that his steaming tray is easy to produce dirt when heated, the chef separately configures a scale remover, an evaporating tray and a water-absorbing ball. But without gloves, I personally feel a little wrong. If this is the first multifunctional machine for baking novices, you may need to buy baking gloves separately.
Then focus on comparing the baking tray and baking net of the two machines. Kaidu is a non-stick baking tray+perforated steaming tray. If you like steamed noodles, perforated steaming plates are still very useful! You can put steamed buns and steamed buns directly on it.
Non-stick baking tray has good non-stick performance. If you can change it to a flat design, it will feel better and be convenient to handle.
Chef is equipped with stainless steel steaming plate and frying net, which is quite convenient for air-drying and frying fruit. Later, some roast chicken wings were put directly according to the instructions, and it was found that they were easy to stick and not easy to clean. If you want to be convenient, you can directly put tin foil on it to bake some oily ingredients.
The chef's stainless steel steaming plate can also be used as a slag receiving plate.
This is advice for friends. For stainless steel tools, it is recommended to clean and dry them in time after use to avoid some spots or yellow stains.
In the control design, Kaidu adopts the design of touch screen+shuttle knob. In practical experience, such manipulation and combination operations will be more convenient, especially for some relatively complex custom operations.
The chef adopts the design of full touch operation with LED display screen, and optimizes the inclination angle of 20 degrees, so there is no need to bend over when operating. Compared with the vertical panel, the ornamental and operability are improved.
Careful friends should have noticed that the icons on the control interface have no corresponding Chinese descriptions. Don't worry, the two machines have corresponding instructions on the side and top of the fuselage, and baking novices can get started quickly!
Kado's icon is on the top of the fuselage.
The chef's icon is on the left side of the control panel.
Kaidu has five functions, including 1 1 one-click direct access to +30 built-in air frying, roasting, steaming, pure steaming and fermentation recipes. In addition, it also has reservation function and child lock function. If there is no operation within 5 minutes, the power button will go out and the machine will shut down.
Chef has 13 function modes and 30 built-in recipes, including self-cleaning function. As will be mentioned later in the evaporator section, the steam of the chef's steaming tray is easy to produce dirt, so the original packaging is equipped with a descaling agent, and the machine itself has a self-cleaning mode, which can be used together to facilitate internal cleaning. However, I would like to remind you that whether it is an ordinary oven or an all-in-one machine, it is recommended to clean the oven in time after use, which will also help to extend the service life of the machine.
What are the 30 automatic menus of the two all-in-one machines? Open the oven door at a glance. There is corresponding menu comparison information on one side of the oven door, which is convenient for users to refer to. As long as the ingredients of the recipe are ready, you can wait for the food to come out, which will be very friendly to the novice baking and save the trouble of studying the recipe alone.
In order to achieve better protection and heat insulation effect, the chef's box door adopts a three-layer anti-scalding glass door design. The workmanship of the hinge is still very good, so you don't have to worry about stability if you use it continuously. The door can hover at any angle, and the design is reasonable.
In addition, the chef's oven door adopts this point-like design similar to microwave oven design.
Simply turning on the furnace lamp has little effect on the line of sight.
The door handle adopts hidden design, but the plastic texture on the inside of the handle is too strong and the operation comfort is average.
Kaidu's door can also easily hover at any angle. The exposed handle design makes the door switch more convenient and the overall experience is comfortable. The exposed handle design is relatively easy to take care of.
However, Kaidu's oven door is made of double-layer insulating glass, which is slightly inferior to the chef's. The thermal insulation effect and temperature test of the oven door are mentioned separately in the performance comparison link. The insulation effect of Kaidu oven door is not as good as that of chef.
As for the inner cavity, the two integrated machines are made of mainstream food-grade stainless steel, which can be better maintained during daily cleaning. Let's take a look at the mezzanine design of the two all-in-one machines.
In addition, you may see that the stainless steel panel on the back of Kaidu has this three-dimensional small square design. Because the beautiful Q30 preheating-free oven that I came into contact with before has encountered a similar design, which is actually a heat gathering design, which can bring better heating effect. As for whether this is the case, continue to look down!
Kaidu has two floors, and the linear design will make it easier to put it into the baking tray grill.
In contrast, the chef has a three-layer design, marked with the number of cooking layers, but the shelves are designed with high and low, and sometimes the baking tray and baking net will get stuck.
The heating pipe of the two-in-one machine is at the top, Kado is designed with spiral heating pipe and fan, and the chef is designed with double-ring heating pipe and hot air at the top. This combination is similar to the heating effect of a real air furnace. Kaidu's heating efficiency will be higher, but the chef's heating elements are hidden to facilitate daily cleaning.
The location of the lighting is different. Cardo is on the left side of the oven, and the chef is on the top of the all-in-one machine.
In terms of lighting effects, both models performed well! Wide lighting area, convenient for food to take pictures and punch in!
The design of the bottom heating plate is also different. At present, Kaidu uses the mainstream direct injection steam, which is directly heated to the evaporator through the water tank. There is little water in the cavity and the steam is relatively clean. The bottom adopts X-shaped diversion groove to collect condensed water on the heating plate for centralized evaporation.
The chef didn't adopt the design of direct steam injection, but adopted the older design of evaporation tray, so a circular evaporator structure design can be seen at the bottom of the liner.
The steaming, roasting and frying machine must say water tank. Kaidu is a built-in water tank, and the capacity of 1L is not small. The only drawback is that baking will be a bit cumbersome if it is short of water.
Chef adopts electric external water tank design, with a capacity of 0.7 liters. Although the capacity is not large, it is more convenient than adding water to the built-in water tank.
If there is a water tank, it is inevitable to talk about the sink. It is difficult to understand why the chef's sink is made of fixed design, and the water storage capacity is not strong, and the wastewater needs to be sucked out with a suction device, which is troublesome to operate and inconvenient to take care of.
Kaidu's sink is at the bottom of the oven, which can be directly taken out, dumped and cleaned. But the water storage capacity is not large. If the function of steaming is used more, it is recommended to pour water frequently.
The high temperature of steam is easy to burn people. Considering the use habits and safety, Kaidu designed the exhaust hood of the steam outlet at the upper position of the rear side of the box body, which is convenient for discharging steam, ensuring the safety of use and making the design more humanized.
Chefs have different designs, and the steam is mainly discharged through the holes above and below the box door. Although it is not easy for chefs to make cabinets damp, attention should be paid to steam in daily use to avoid accidental injury.
Under the same conditions, test the temperature rise of two machines, and manually measure the time required for the machines to heat to180 C with a probe to confirm the performance of temperature rise capability.
Judging from the warm-up performance, Kaidu needs about 3 minutes 10 second, and the chef needs 3 minutes and 40 seconds, with a difference of about 30 seconds. We know that the power of Kaidu S6 1G is 1650W, and the chef DB600 is 2000W w. It is reasonable to say that the chef will be faster, which may be because Kaidu adopts spiral heating tube and rear side heat collection design.
However, in this comparison process, you will find that the chef is still friendly, that is, there is a separate preheating prompt. After reaching the set temperature, the set time will count down and enter the working mode.
When testing the temperature in the air explosion mode of 180℃, you will see that the two all-in-one machines are almost stable in the early 200 s after the temperature is constant. Don't think the thermometer is inaccurate, but because the heating mode of the two-in-one machine is heating pipe+fan design, the baking temperature will be about 20 degrees higher than the normal temperature, which is similar to the temperature difference between the flat furnace and the air furnace oven.
When the temperature is constant in the air explosion mode of 180 degrees, the temperature shows 208 degrees.
Chef 180 degrees air explosion mode realizes constant temperature, and the temperature shows 202 degrees.
It is also the air explosion mode of 180 degrees. Compared with two all-in-one machines, the working noise is about 60 decibels, and Kaidu's voice will be quieter.
We also compared the water consumption of 100 degrees and 15 minutes respectively, because it is the steam quantity that judges the steaming function.
On the premise of ensuring that there is residual water in the water tank, let the oven work continuously in the cooking mode of 100℃ for 15 minutes, and test the water consumption respectively. In order to facilitate the recording, in the initial state, put 600g of pure water into the water tank, weigh the remaining pure water, and record the water consumption.
Compared with the above picture, it is not difficult to find that the water consumption of Kaidu is obviously higher than that of the chef. In addition, during the steaming process, it will be visually felt that there is more steam in the door of Kaidu oven than the chef looks.
Originally, I wanted to compare the number of wipes, but basically I won without comparing the opening. Because the chef uses the evaporation plate design, the heating plate at the bottom has been filled with water, and the scale is not easy to clean after steaming. Friends who are not diligent should choose carefully, and the waste water needs to be sucked out with a suction device.
This is the reason why it is suggested to cover the evaporation cover when using the steam function.
Compared with the actual measurement, Kaidu's direct steam injection design is relatively more controllable and easier to wipe and take care of!
Compared with the oven, the comparison of food production is indispensable. The egg tart, French fries and chicken wings were baked with these two integrated machines respectively. Let's look at the performance of the two machines.
The same use of 180 degrees 15 minutes, the result is really a bit unexpected! The overall color of Kaidu is relatively uniform. In contrast, the chef's color is really too light, and there is uneven heating.
French fries are air-fried at the same time and temperature. In this link, both of them performed well and painted evenly. However, a careful comparison shows that the color of Kaidu is slightly darker than that of the chef, and the taste will be more crisp.
In the roast chicken wing, they didn't use the same time, but used their own built-in menu to roast it.
Kaidu's default program will bake for about 25 minutes, so the color is dark and the skin is crisp. The chef paints more evenly.
Both kinds of roast chicken wings are delicious, but the skin of Kaidu is crisp and will be more delicious. Here, I would like to remind my friends that the built-in program in the oven has helped us improve the success rate to a certain extent, but it is still recommended to observe the coloring more when baking.
After steaming at 100 degrees 15 minutes, the performance of the two machines is almost the same, and the steaming will be tied.
Through the comparison of the above links, we can see that at the same baking temperature, the temperature coloring of Kaidu will be more satisfactory. Another revelation for everyone here is actually the running-in with the oven. Once you find that the color of the oven you bought is too dark or too light, you need to try to adjust the baking temperature or time flexibly to achieve your satisfactory baking state.
Let's talk about cardo first.
1, advantages
(1) Kaidu S6 1G is exquisite and compact in overall shape, and the control experience brought by the design of touch screen and shuttle knob is more convenient, and the 5-degree temperature control is enough for daily use.
(2) The capacity of 20 liters is completely enough for home use. The real spray evaporator brings more steam and is convenient for cleaning.
(3) Even heating, its temperature will be 20 minutes higher than that of ordinary open-hearth furnace, so the temperature needs to be lowered when it is used for baking.
(4) One-click direct function 30 kinds of customized recipes, which can easily unlock more delicious food.
2, insufficient
(1) It is designed with a built-in water tank, so it is a bit troublesome to add water if there is water shortage in the process of making food.
(2) When baking, the oven door temperature is on the high side.
1, advantages
(1) has a separate preheating prompt. After setting the temperature and time, the timer will not start until the preheating is completed, which is more friendly to the novice baking.
(2) The oven door has good heat insulation effect, which improves the use safety. In addition, the electric external water tank is more flexible when there is water shortage.
(3) There are 30 customized recipes with rich functions, but the icon system is relatively troublesome to use and needs to be adjusted one by one, especially the multi-stage baking is cumbersome.
2, insufficient
(1) Its steam is on both sides of the oven door, so pay attention when opening the oven door.
(2) The adjustment of temperature control accuracy of1degree is a bit cumbersome, and sometimes the touch is not very sensitive.
(3) Chef DB600 has been on the market for more than a year. Although it has enough functions, some functions and designs have fallen behind. For example, it is still using an evaporation tray design that is not easy to clean. Too much water is steamed every time, and it is easy to leave scale on the evaporation plate, so it needs to be sucked with a water-absorbing ball, which is more troublesome.
Another significance of this evaluation reference is that if everyone has limited space at home, but wants to open an oven, then the utilization rate of the all-in-one machine and the micro-steaming, roasting and frying all-in-one machine is indeed much higher than that of the single machine, reducing the possibility of idleness. Compared with embedded ovens, it is necessary to plan the placement position in advance. Desktop ovens are more flexible to buy and reduce other small household appliances. It used to be necessary to put a steamer, oven and microwave oven, but now it can put machines, which greatly reduces the space occupied by the kitchen.
In addition, whether it is a steamer or a micro-steamer, it is recommended to choose an integrated liner. Direct steam injection will be more hygienic and easier to take care of than steam from a steaming tray!
Ok, this evaluation is over.
No use, no sharing, I am a thief 95270, I hope this issue can help you buy! Continue to say bye~ in the next issue ~
