Introducing a microwave oven with an eye on "thawing"
Nowadays, the refrigerator fills up quickly due to various reasons, such as working together and shopping only on weekends, and like supermarkets and gourmet foods ordered. I think that many people store overbought meat and fish frozen.
I bought it because it was cheap ...
However, it is difficult to thaw frozen foods quickly and well because of unevenness and loss of taste.
I heard that Iris Ohyama has released an oven range that focuses on the problem of thawing, and I have experienced the mechanism and the actual finish!
"Steam running water thawing microwave oven" released on October 22
The same model features a thawing function that reproduces the finish of "running water thawing", which is said to make it difficult for umami to escape by using a special container and a special program together. However, it does not actually flow water, but uses
steam generated from an external water tank. Includes thawing container and tray
The temperature inside the refrigerator rises to 80 to 90 degrees with steam, but the temperature of the ingredients is kept at 40 to 50 degrees by preventing the steam from directly hitting the ingredients with a special container. While preventing discoloration of meat and fish due to protein denaturation that occurs at 50 degrees or higher, it is said that it will be finished in the best condition by combining oven and microwave oven functions according to the characteristics of the ingredients.
Put water in an external tank
Defrost mainly with steam
There are three defrosting modes: "sashimi", "sliced meat", and "block meat". When you select the weight, the time is set automatically, so the operation is easy. One slice of fish fillet (about 100g (3.53oz)) takes about 30 minutes to thaw, so it's better to start before preparing a meal. The time is almost the same as thawing under running water, but it is helpful that you do not have to look during thawing.

Specify mode and weight (up to 200g (7.05oz) for sashimi)
After 30 minutes, the ticked fillet turned into a colorful raw fish. When I open it, I am surprised that there is almost no "drip".
There is no drip that lets the umami escape
It can be cut quickly with a kitchen knife, but the center is still a little frozen. According to the company, fish that tend to crumble are set to be ready to eat when they are put on the table.
The center is a little cold finish
In addition, an infrared sensor that automatically detects the temperature of foodstuffs allows you to use the functions of a range, grill, steam, oven and four roles per unit. It is useful for cooking full-scale menus and time-saving menus along with 44 types of automatic cooking menus. In addition, maintenance is also supported by the "cleaning mode" and "boiler cleaning mode" inside the refrigerator that utilize the steam function. It is one of the high level oven range.
For example, grill the thawed ingredients as they are
Activity of 4 roles in 1 unit
Personally, I'm worried that the special container is bulky, but I wonder if the type that specializes in thawing in this class of microwave oven is quite rare. Iris Ohyama's microwave oven, which has an eye on the modern lifestyle, may have been sought after by many households.
