I do not realize that it will soon be the New Year, not long ago the owner is also upgraded before the lunar calendar last kitchen equipment - Toshiba SD80 micro-steam grill all-in-one machine.

The initial intention of getting this machine in addition to upgrading and improving the kitchen appliances, but also think of a preparation for the New Year's Eve dinner, after all, now the New Year's Eve dinner is not as monotonous as it used to be, the combination of Chinese and Western and rich dishes are more people's choice.

Six years ago when the owner of the renovation of the press did not consider the embedded cabinet design, and at that time, I felt that the kitchen of their own home is not too small, but with the advancement of science and technology as well as the home countertop equipment more and more diversified, the kitchen space appears to be more and more constricted. Microwave ovens, ovens, steamers, air fryers, sandwich machines, cooking machines ...... have been completely unable to put ......

So the owner of the building on how to improve the environment of the kitchen, remodeling cabinets to do embedded? The cost is too big also tossed! Then it is better to improve the kitchen appliances, such as steamer, air fryer, cooking machine these owners have been placed in the cabinet for occasional use, and the countertops resident in the largest appliances than the microwave + small oven.

Replacing these two machines with such a multifunctional machine really saves a lot of space! For the two years of their own upgraded equipment, in addition to the function, the value is also a very important factor, Toshiba SD80 as Japan's best-selling models, both the appearance and quality control are satisfied with the owner. The price of more than two thousand is not expensive, compared to a little embedded steam oven even has a certain price advantage.

This machine is called "a machine with eight": oven + steamer + microwave + air frying + fermentation machine + rice cooker + steam oven + micro-oven. It can be said that such a multi-functional all-in-one machine, for the kitchen is quite friendly to white people, for the owner of the family want to save counter space, but also has a lot of help.

Here's a quick and simple look at the basics of this machine.

The door panel is a glass mirror design, which seems to be a design feature of Japanese products in the last two years, and you can see that this mirror is very clear.

The handles are curved, which makes them feel better and more comfortable than some of the straight handles or hidden handles we've used before, and they don't protrude too much, so you don't have to worry about them getting in the way when you're using them every day. However, the door does not have a self-stop function, so I was used to the self-stop door of single function machines, and then I was not used to this one at first.

The operating interface is keyed, and I actually prefer the keys to the touch ones, the tactile feedback is more comfortable, and you don't have to worry about the touch buttons failing after a long time. The left side of the main interface is a manual conditioning mode, micro, steam, bake three main modes in this can easily adjust the temperature and time. The operation is also very simple, parents can also quickly get started, see the text need what function on what point on the line.

For lazy people or white people, as many as 43 kinds of preset auto-menu can meet most of the cooking scenarios, and the preset recipes are printed directly on the top of the operating interface, with very clear white characters on a black background, so that when we use the preset programs, we can easily find and use them. You can make all kinds of baked goodies step by step according to the detailed descriptions inside, and with the 43 preset programs, you can achieve the "one-touch start"!

Inside the machine is a dome-shaped chamber, inspired by the ancient stone kiln structure, with a temperature of up to 250, with the original Japanese NTC temperature sensor, you can achieve precise temperature control. The upper heating tube has a protective bar, and the lower part of the machine does not look like a flat bottom, but actually contains a heating tube inside, thus realizing the upper and lower heating of the oven function, making the heating more even, and the flat bottom structure also brings strong applicability to the microwave heating function.

At the bottom of the machine is a water supply box and a dirty water collection box, which is very easy to disassemble. 150ml of water supply box is enough to use many times for general steaming food, and it is recommended to use pure water to prevent scale clogging.

From the inside of the door panel, you can see that the material is quite thick, and there is a door seal protection.

The original grill pan and grill rack are made of good material, especially the grill pan, the glaze is smooth and suitable for wiping, and it is very smooth and convenient to push in or pull out. Of course, you still need to pay attention to the high temperature when you take out, don't pull it out directly by hand. The original machine does not come with some anti-scald accessories, or a slight regret.

The grill pan can also be pulled out halfway, to arrange the physical operation or the cooking process of turning, adding ingredients, etc., without having to completely remove it, which is also quite humane. The original grill is slightly higher than the grill pan, so it's not easy to move it around, and there are small grooves around the grill pan to hold it in place. In addition, there are also cleaning and maintenance functions for plumbing and odor removal.

From the very first moment I took it out of the box, it really improved and optimized my kitchen space, and it looks great. And after using it for a while, it's not the most powerful, but it's in the middle of the pack compared to the single-function machines I've used, which I think is pretty good for a multifunction machine.

250 of superheated water vapor + microwave steam is the main feature of the Toshiba SD80 in terms of functionality, which not only cuts down on traditional cooking time, but also restores as much healthy taste as possible.

Multi-functionality in one without losing efficiency is one of the first comments that the owner has given it over time.

When it comes to New Year's Eve dinner, fish is an essential dish. For the people of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, steaming must be the best way to cook, 10 minutes out of the head can be steamed out of a fish, the efficiency of this is no less than the owner of last year's high-efficiency electric steamer. Steam fish our family like pre-dry some, steamed and then sprinkled with soy sauce soup, you can also directly add seasoning or a little water steamed.

After a minute or two, the visible glass door is covered in a full vapor, which is faster and more efficient in terms of energy gathering than traditional flat steam.

The moment you open the door, you can feel the dense water vapor. The rich water vapor is able to wrap the ingredients well inside the oven, assisting in heating and maintaining the taste and nutritional value.

Steak has become one of the main dinner of the owner in 2022, and I'm used to eating ordinary steak before, and then I think the Wellington steak is really good, but we also know that the Wellington steak, compared to the general steak, the production is more cumbersome, and this has once made the owner's headache. But with this micro-steam grill, everything seems to be a lot easier.

The defrost function of this machine is also very user-friendly, three modules (full defrost, half defrost, quick defrost, -10 -90) can be customized for different defrosting needs. For example, you can choose half defrost for meat, and full defrost for quick-frozen dumplings. After thawing in the machine, then place the Wellington steak directly into the preheated machine and bake for about 30 minutes.

The recommended time for Sam's Wellington is 38 minutes, and while the previous owner used a small oven to make it, which usually took more than 40 minutes, using the Toshiba SD80 saved a lot of time. And the finished product tasted great, with a crispy crust on the outside and tender inside, and the beef tasted non-chafing.

Jerking is a good night snack choice, New Year's Eve dinner eaten early, watch will be the Spring Festival night of their own family quickly grilled a string than point a takeaway to come much better! Prepare some semi-finished ingredients in advance, thrown into the machine using superheated water vapor, you can bake a good skewer, compared to the traditional way of kebab, water grilled more nutritious, the key is not on fire.

Lamb skewers and ribs are very good, the fire control is more in place, but also more uniform, and out of the pot can be directly eaten, in the winter, do not leave the house will be able to eat hot kebabs!

The same goes for the pancetta, which is also crispy on the outside and tender on the inside after the whole or half of it is put in and grilled. If you can't finish it all at once, just put it back on the grill and put it back in the machine to reheat it, which is also quite convenient, and that's the convenient side brought by the all-in-one machine.

Toshiba as the pioneer of microwave ovens, in the microwave heating naturally do not need to say too much, the same can be microwave steam, as far as possible to maintain the fresh taste, so that the overnight dishes are not so wilted. Of course, it is not recommended to eat overnight dishes often. But in the winter with it to heat a takeaway is still quite good.

It's worth mentioning that you can heat up two cups of milk at the same time with it, and with this big flat bottom design, it's much more convenient than a traditional rotary microwave. Even for non-two-child families, with three or four people in the house, two cups of milk at a time really isn't that much.

Overall, the micro-steam grill of the three major functions of the experience are quite good, no less than three general single-function machine, and compared to the traditional cooking methods of open fire, can be said to be complete. The owner feels that the existence of the three major functions of the very high frequency of use has been enough to return, then the rest of the other cooking function is even more icing on the cake.

Air fryer is certainly good to use, but to be honest, actually quite occupy space, and this problem has been well resolved.

Previously, the owner's family basically baked chicken wings, and only later shifted to a more healthy oil-free air frying. The fries and wings made with the air frying function of the Toshiba Micro Steam Bake All-in-One are quite good, although the time is three to five minutes longer than the air fryer.

To make the fries, don't forget to soak them in water first to remove the starch and prevent them from sticking. Chicken wings can be brushed with a little oil after marinating, of course, if it is for children to eat, the owner suggests not to oil, direct frying on the line, the process of deep-frying, you can carry out a flip, so that it will be more uniform.

The original microwave oven stand-alone actually have defrosting and fermentation functions, but to be honest, I don't know if it's a problem of the machine is too old, it's really not very good. This Toshiba SD80 is still satisfactory for defrosting and fermentation.

I mentioned defrosting above, so I'll talk about fermentation separately. The fermentation function of this machine can be divided into four gears, the temperature setting can be controlled in 30-45, the time can be adjusted within 90 minutes, the fermentation process can also be increased or decreased at any time time time and the end of the work, so for the novice, this is not to worry about, you can slowly figure out.

Like the dough, generally choose 35 is more appropriate, before the ordinary pot has been used to warm the fermentation, have to be about two hours, with this all-in-one machine is much faster, the fermentation is completed in a few hours.

If you can make yogurt, you can choose 40 to ferment, homemade yogurt is more healthy and more suitable for children, but this owner is not good at it, and did not do the corresponding attempt.

If it is the New Year's Eve dinner, so pasta + baking + steaming staples + snacks + hot drinks, etc., with this machine will be all in one!

Overall, the first experience of this Toshiba SD80 is still quite good, as a multi-function all-in-one machine, it can reach the middle and upper level in each sub-functional area, and the biggest advantage of the multi-function all-in-one machine is still saving space and cost, "eight-in-one" rich function, the fusion of the micro-steam grill and even the rice cooker's Functions, greatly improving the kitchen space, for our small and medium-sized kitchen, the advantage is huge.

Five minutes to poach an egg, ten minutes to steam a fish, twenty minutes to grill a chicken, thirty minutes to grill a Wellington steak, the efficiency of this appliance experience is considered fast, and compared to the open fire is thrown away by a hundred thousand eighty thousand miles.

In addition to micro-steaming and grilling, Toshiba SD80 also combines a healthier air frying, more flexible three-speed defrosting and four-speed fermentation functions, which saves space in other related kitchen appliances, but also more flexible, to meet the different needs of different ingredients. It's also smarter, reducing the tediousness of active regulation like traditional models, and the richly illustrated menu and operating interface is a big plus for white people.

The existence of this one all-in-one machine, not to mention eating gray impossible, every day can be used many times it! The owner is also looking forward to the New Year's Eve dinner!
