Everyone thinks they know all about microwaves. After all, it is practically standard equipment in every kitchen. But how does a microwave work and what delicious dishes can you conjure up with practical kitchen helpers today? Heating up food quickly was their only task for a long time – until now. Today, the microwave can be called an all-rounder because it offers an extensive set of functions: Some models can even serve as replacements for other kitchen appliances while consuming less energy. We present an overview.
Modern microwaves can do much more.
Soups, cocoa or a whole lunch: The microwave brings everything up to temperature quickly. But today there is much more hidden in the space-saving unit than appears at first glance. Steam cooking? No problem. Making pizza without it getting soggy? Yes.
New functions make the microwave an all-rounder.
Modern microwaves now combine up to four appliances, offering plenty of scope for creativity when cooking.
The choice is large. Performance, quality, shape, design and function sometimes differ considerably. What was once a simple household appliance has become a multi-talented unit. Many additional functions, such as steam cooking and hot air functions with inverter technology, are now ideal for cooking to high standards. Energy is used optimally and enables a particularly gentle cooking process. This means that even sensitive foods can be heated up.
The all-rounder: Your introduction to steam cooking.
With the NN-GD38 grill combi microwave, Panasonic lets you get started with healthy steam cooking at an affordable price. The steamer simply turns this inverter microwave into a smart appliance that gives you many new ways of preparing delicious meals. In this tutorial, Rainer Engel from Panasonic shows how you can gently steam food using the microwave.
Microwave all-rounder: Prepare dishes easily and in a way that preserves vitamins.
Another microwave also impresses across the board: Our NN-CS894 uses Steam Plus technology, which allows you to use steam to magic up vitamin-preserving, low-fat and low-sodium dishes. The taste, colour, firmness and vitamins of vegetables are preserved and meat remains juicy. Do you want to cook potatoes in the microwave? No problem with Steam Plus technology. Also try our delicious recipe for toasted protein bread with vegetables and herring using the NN-CS894.
The microwave can now also make crispy pizza.
If you prefer something a little more compact, take a look at our NN-CD575M hot air combi inverter microwave. Thanks to its smaller dimensions, this offers you 20 per cent more valuable space on your work surface, as the fan is installed at the top. This intelligent design allows the interior space to be used more effectively and heat to be distributed more effectively. With 17 preset programmes, it’s very easy to use. With the included Panacrunch pan with removable handle, the NN-CD575M even becomes a pizza oven: Now you can finally get deliciously crispy pizza base from the microwave.
