Panasonic has only launched a built-in oven in recent years, but it has been a surprise as soon as it was unveiled, fully demonstrating its strong technical strength. The built-in micro-steaming and baking machine launched in 2018 won the "AWE Innovation Award" with a bang.
 
Different from Panasonic's extremely diverse desktop ovens, Panasonic currently has only three built-in ovens, namely HL-CX667SXTE oven, NU-SC88JBXPE steaming and baking all-in-one machine, and NN-CS89HB micro-steaming and baking all-in-one machine, representing three common use needs. A simple oven is more suitable for desserts, breads, grilled meats, dried fruits, dried meats, pizzas, and starchy staples. The steaming and roasting combination can also be used to steam vegetables, fish, steamed buns, etc. The added microwave function of the micro-steaming and baking integration is more suitable for quickly heating beverages or cold meals, replacing the traditional microwave oven.
 
The HL-CX667SXTE oven priced at 5,500 yuan has a 5-layer grill and a large capacity of 70L is enough to show off its strengths at large family gatherings. The hot fan on the back can create convection of the hot air inside, so that the same layer of baking trays can be kept at the same temperature as much as possible, and the food is heated evenly. For example, baked cranberry cookies, which are simple snacks that can be easily spread all over the baking sheet, and if there is no fan convection, the cookies near the door tend to lack fire, the color is light, and the cookies are fluffy and fluffy. Consumers who want a consistent taste should try to buy an oven with hot convection.
 
The NU-SC88JBXPE oven is a steaming and baking machine that is unique in principle, also known as a water wave oven, and has become popular in Japan in recent years. A water wave oven can heat water vapor to a high temperature of 250°C, while a normal steam oven can only heat water vapor to 110°C. When the temperature is close to 200 °C, the reducing sugars and amino acids in the food will undergo Maillard reaction, and the grilled steak is full of aroma, and it is precisely because of the Maillard reaction on the surface that boiled beef will never get the same flavor. However, the high temperature air in the general oven will take away a lot of moisture from the surface of the food, and the grilled steak will also be slightly dry, which is not as smooth and tender as the fried steak. Panasonic's steam oven makes up for this shortcoming, the high-temperature water vapor takes into account the roasting flavor and the tenderness of the food, and the cooked roast beef is smooth and rippling, fresh and tender.
 
However, this steaming and baking oven is on the small side, with a capacity of only 30L, which is the smallest capacity among the current built-in ovens, and is suitable for small families to buy. Unlike other brands that use linear heating tubes, this oven uses a unique honeycomb arched flat heater for a more even distribution of heat energy and a uniform roast when coloring foods such as barbecued pork. In addition, when steaming food, different water vapor temperatures can be adjusted, for example, steaming sweet potatoes at 120°C can retain more anthocyanins, and steaming clams at 150°C can retain more taurine and reduce nutrient loss. The price of this water wave oven is about 8,000 yuan, and the WIFI function can also facilitate users to remotely control, make appointments at a time, and make food at will.
 
The NN-CS89HB, which integrates micro-steaming and baking, is full of science and technology, and the infrared temperature control sensor can quickly adjust the temperature in the furnace and control the temperature accurately. The interior adopts the easy-to-clean color steel plate furnace cavity imported from Japan, and the coating on the surface of the steel plate has a self-cleaning function, which can actively decompose the oil into carbon dioxide and water at high temperature, which is convenient for cleaning. In addition, the one-button cleaning function can also remove stains from the oven by means of high-temperature steam, so you don't have to worry about manual cleaning after enjoying your meal. The oven has a capacity of 32L and is priced at about 9,000 yuan.
 
Panasonic's ovens are very different and can be called in a class of their own, if the German brand is more concerned about the body and the feeling of use, then Panasonic is more inclined to the food itself. Japan is one of the "foodie nations" and pays attention to the taste, beauty, and ritual of its cuisine. Many of the dishes in Japanese cuisine can be served in the oven, such as the classic grilled cod, which is marinated in miso and sake and serves in just a quarter of an hour. In addition, oil-free anchovy fried shrimp, sea bream cedar itayaki, salt-grilled saury, sansho quail, and more are simple family delicacies.
