The original intention of starting this machine is not only to upgrade and improve kitchen appliances, but also to prepare for the New Year's Eve dinner. After all, the New Year's Eve dinner is not as monotonous as before. The combination of Chinese and Western food and rich dishes are the choices of more people.
When the landlord renovated six years ago, he did not consider the design of embedded cabinets at all, and at that time he felt that his kitchen was not too small. However, with the progress of science and technology, the countertop equipment at home is becoming more and more diversified, and the kitchen space is becoming more and more cramped. Microwave oven, oven, steamer, air fryer, sandwich machine, cooking machine ... have been completely put down. ...
So the landlord is thinking about how to improve the kitchen environment and transform the cabinets into nested ones. The cost is too high to toss! Then improve the kitchen appliances, such as steamer, air fryer and cooking machine, which have been put in the cupboard for occasional use. The biggest appliance on the table is microwave oven+small oven.
Replacing these two machines with such multifunctional machines really saves a lot of space! As for the equipment that I upgraded in the past two years, in addition to the function, the face value is also a very important factor. As the best-selling model in Japan, Toshiba SD80 satisfies the landlord in both appearance and quality control. The price of more than 2000 yuan is not expensive, and it even has a certain price advantage compared with the embedded steaming oven.
This machine is called "one machine with eight functions": oven+steamer+microwave oven+air frying+fermentor+rice cooker+steaming oven+micro oven. It can be said that such an all-in-one machine is quite friendly to the kitchen white, and it is also of great help to the landlord who wants to save the countertop space.
Let's take a quick look at the basic situation of this machine.
Door panels are designed with glass mirrors, which seems to be a design feature of Japanese products in recent two years. You can see that this mirror is very clear.
The handle is curved and feels better. Compared with some straight handles or hidden handles used before, it will be more comfortable, and its protruding range is not large, so there is no need to worry about getting in the way in daily use.
After opening the door, you can lie flat at 90 degrees, which is very conducive to holding baking trays or tableware, and also avoids the possibility of burns to a greater extent. The furnace space of 26L is not large, but it is absolutely enough for a family of three or four. However, the door opening mode of this machine has no self-stop function. I used the self-stop door of single-function machine before, but I was not used to it at first.
The operation interface is button type. I actually prefer the button type to the touch type. Tactile feedback is more comfortable, and you don't have to worry about the failure of touching the button for a long time. On the left side of the main interface is the manual adjustment mode, where the temperature and time can be easily adjusted through three main modes: micro, steaming and baking. The operation is also very simple, parents can get started quickly, just click on what function the text needs.
For lazy people or small white people, as many as 43 kinds of preset automatic menus can satisfy most cooking scenes. The preset recipes are printed directly on the top of the operation interface, and the black and white characters are very clear. When we use preset programs, we can easily find and use them.
Moreover, this thick manual also contains 120 selected recipes, which will definitely dazzle you and make you want to taste them all at once! According to the detailed introduction inside, you can make all kinds of baked goods step by step, and cooperate with those 43 preset programs to realize "one-button start!"
Dome-shaped cavity is used inside the machine, inspired by ancient stone kiln structure, and the temperature can reach 250℃. Adopt the original NTC temperature sensor in Japan, which can control the temperature accurately. The heating tube on the top has a protective rod, and although the bottom is flat, it actually contains the heating tube, thus realizing the up-and-down heating of the oven function and making the heating more uniform. 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 convenient to assemble and disassemble. 150ml water supply box is enough for common steamed products to be used many times. It is recommended that you use pure water to prevent scaling.
As can be seen from the inside of the door panel, the material is quite thick and protected by a door seal.
The original baking tray and grill are made of good materials, especially the baking tray, which is very smooth and suitable for wiping, and it is very smooth and convenient to push in or pull out. Of course, when taking it out, you still need to pay attention to the high temperature. Don't pull it out directly by hand. Unfortunately, the original machine was not equipped with some anti-ironing accessories.
In this way, the baking tray can also be pulled out to the half position, so that items can be placed or turned over and materials can be added in the cooking process, and it is quite humanized without completely taking it out. The original grill is slightly higher than the baking tray, so it is not easy to move inside, and there are small grooves around the baking tray.
After use, when it's almost cold, it's basically done with a wet rag. If there are still some stains after some special cooking, you can also use the "self-cleaning" function of the system to float the oil stains, and finally wipe them with a rag. In addition, there are water pipe drainage and cleaning and maintenance functions in addition to odor.
From the first feeling of unpacking, it really improved and optimized my kitchen space, and the value was online. After using this period of time, although it is not the strongest in function, it is above average compared with the single-function machine used by the landlord. The landlord thinks it's good for the multifunction machine to do so.
Superheated steam with 250+ microwave steam is the main functional feature of Toshiba SD80, which can not only shorten the traditional cooking time, but also restore the healthy taste as much as possible.
Multifunctional integration without losing efficiency is a preliminary evaluation given by the landlord this time.
Speaking of New Year's Eve, fish is an essential hard dish. For Jiangsu and Zhejiang people, steaming must be the best way to cook. /kloc-you can steam a fish in the first 0/0 minute, which is as efficient as the high-efficiency electric steamer used by the landlord last year. Our steamed fish likes to be dried in the early stage, and then sprinkled with soy sauce soup after steaming. You can also steam it directly with seasoning or a little water.
After a minute or two, the visible glass door is covered with water vapor, which is faster and more efficient than traditional flat steaming.
You can feel the thick steam when you open the door. Rich steam can wrap the ingredients well in the furnace, assist in heating, and maintain the taste and nutritional value.
Steak became one of the main meals of the landlord in 2022. I used to eat ordinary steak, but later I thought Wellington steak was really delicious, but we also know that Wellington steak is more complicated to cook than ordinary steak, which once gave the landlord a headache. But with this micro-steaming and baking machine, everything seems to be much simpler.
The defrosting function of this machine is also very user-friendly. Three modules (full defrosting, semi-defrosting, quick defrosting,-10 -90) can be customized to meet different defrosting requirements. For example, meat is semi-thawed, and if it is quick-frozen dumplings, you can choose the method of full thawing. After thawing with the machine, put the Wellington steak directly into the preheated machine and bake for about 30 minutes.
It is suggested that Wellington spend 38 minutes in Sam. In the past, it usually took more than 40 minutes for the landlord to cook in a small oven, but Toshiba SD80 saved a lot of time. The finished product tastes great, too Tender outside and crisp inside, tasteless in beef.
Lu skewers are a good choice for dinner. Eating early on New Year's Eve and baking a kebab quickly at home are much better than ordering takeout! Prepare some semi-finished ingredients in advance, throw them into the machine and bake kebabs with superheated steam. Compared with traditional kebabs, water roasting is more nutritious, and the key is not to get angry.
Mutton skewers and ribs are very good, the heat is well controlled and evenly, and you can eat them directly after cooking. In winter, you can eat hot kebabs without leaving home!
So is pork belly. After the whole piece or half piece is baked, it is crisp outside and tender inside. If you can't eat it all at once, it's quite convenient to put it on the baking tray and put it back in the machine for reheating, which is also the convenient side brought by the all-in-one machine.
As the pioneer of microwave oven, Toshiba naturally doesn't need to elaborate too much on microwave heating. You can also steam the microwave oven to keep the taste as fresh as possible, so that the overnight dishes will not fade so much. Of course, it is not recommended that you often eat overnight dishes. But it's good to use it to heat up a takeaway in winter.
It is worth mentioning that it can heat two cups of milk at the same time. This large flat-bottomed design is much more convenient than the traditional turntable microwave oven. Even in a non-second-child family, there are not many people in the family who drink milk at a time.
Generally speaking, the three functions of micro-steaming are quite good, without losing three ordinary single-function machines, and compared with the traditional open flame cooking method, it can be said to be a complete victory. The landlord thinks that the existence of three functions with very high frequency of use is enough to return to the original, so the remaining cooking functions are even more icing on the cake.
Although the air fryer is easy to use, it actually takes up a lot of space, and this problem has been solved very well.
In the past, the landlord's home was basically roast chicken wings, but later it was transformed into a healthier oil-free air frying. The French fries and chicken wings made by the air frying function of Toshiba micro-steamer are three to five minutes longer than those made by air fryer, but the effect is not bad.
When making French fries, don't forget to soak the starch in water to prevent it from sticking. After the chicken wings are marinated, you can brush them with a little oil. Of course, if it's for children, the landlord suggests not oiling it, but frying it directly. You can turn it once in the frying process, which will be more uniform.
The original stand-alone microwave oven actually has the function of thawing and fermenting, but to be honest, I don't know if the machine is too old and really doesn't work well. At present, this Toshiba SD80 still satisfies the landlord in the effect of thawing and fermentation.
Thawing mentioned above, let's talk about the fermentation function separately here. The fermentation function of this machine is divided into four grades, the temperature setting can be controlled at 30-45, the time can be adjusted within 90 minutes, and the time can be increased or decreased and the work can be completed at any time during the fermentation process, so for beginners, don't worry about this, you can slowly explore.
Like dough, 35 is generally suitable. It takes about two hours to heat and ferment in an ordinary pot. It's much faster to use this all-in-one machine, and fermentation can be completed in one hour.
If you can make yogurt, you can choose 40 for fermentation. Homemade yogurt is healthier and more suitable for children, but the landlord is not good at it and has never tried it.
If it's New Year's Eve, you can use this machine to make pasta+baking+steaming staple food+snacks+hot drinks and so on.
Overall, the initial experience of this Toshiba SD80 is quite good. As an all-in-one machine, it can reach the upper-middle level in all functional fields, and the biggest advantage of all-in-one machine is to save space and cost. The rich functions of "eight in one" combine the functions of micro-steaming and even rice cookers, greatly improving the kitchen space. For our small and medium-sized kitchens, it has great advantages.
Five minutes to boil eggs, ten minutes to steam fish, twenty minutes to roast chicken and thirty minutes to roast Wellington steak. This efficiency is fast in the related electrical experience, even worse than an open flame.
In addition to micro-steaming, Toshiba SD80 also combines healthier air frying, more flexible three-stage thawing and four-stage fermentation functions, which saves space for other related kitchen appliances and is more flexible to meet the different needs of different ingredients. At the same time, it is more intelligent and reduces the complexity of active adjustment of traditional models. The rich description menu and operation interface are a big plus for Xiaobai.
The existence of this all-in-one machine, let alone eating ash, can be used many times a day! The landlord is also looking forward to the New Year's Eve dinner!
