Huge is the thing, even a bit larger than the successful predecessor. But that also means a lot of space for crockery inside and Sharp himself says in the manual of "two levels" for cooking, baking and frying.
A device that probably needs some space for it on the other hand an oven emits. For bachelor and guaranteed two persons, as a complementary and backup unit for all cases in the family, for an enjoyable daily use, it seems to me the best thing is to get on the market currently. Given the quality of the cooking results you get there almost a stovepipe - at half the size, however.
I have not tried everything but it seems to be quite possible and sensible to use both levels. This offers the opportunity on a plane, for example. On the baking sheet to put on the shelf support rails while stewing chicken legs fries. Among then is still the round, classic white, the French remain naturally spared at the top baking tray ceramic dish collects the juice of chicken legs from the - very practical and very logical!
Rost & sheet you have to buy separately, but the recommended absolutely. The Peis for both is OK, that's quite a good investment. A wealth of interesting recipes, both in manual as well as the accessories to rust & metal accessories make this absolutely interesting and really useful. Baking paper should also have, is often required in the provided recipes. (Sharp RKT11A accessories, baking tray)
I have the experience made the automatic cooking on "two levels" in one device is sometimes inappropriate. Often it is to combine more useful to use the information from the manufacturers because Gar as two different cooking goods often have the same temperature and time settings without microwave, only with hot air and because the additional baking tray / Gitte makes sense rust naturally.
Enclosed are the standard things like low / high round rust, tin plate and of course the proven ceramic dish.
Operation is something essentially new as well as classic. It lacks a clock on the display, the display completely after some time. Sharp is speaking of "power saving mode" - I do not care a clock I have anywhere. There are stop watch under the "Clock" button, almost as always at hand ready Universal kitchen help.
But again: First off, open the door to utilize the stopwatch. A little complicated, it would be better with this button (or the "Start" button) to activate the display in general, then to be able to also use the stopwatch and other functions without, in any event, only once having to open the door!
Not optimally seems to me the fact that the appliance may be always connected with it to open the door. Once the device is in sleep mode, activated only in this way, the display and the only way to the display again read to determine settings.
Preheating as in the classical predecessors is also available. Ends with a beep, and then to set the cooking time and the food is pure. Automatic programs sign up even if they are ready. Achieving the desired temperature is indicated by a signal, the temperature is then held for 30 minutes before the unit turns itself off.
The reason why I already write a recession is simple: Have a 1.5 kilo chicken cooked on the low, round rust in a Roasting and am thrilled. The breast meat was tender and juicy, the skin was crispy and the clubs were just perfect.
The Roasting was ultimately, however, leaking but the ceramic plate is still there.
1.5 kilos of tasty chicken in 33 minutes! This gives us hope that many other things will also prepare persuasive. The Inverter microwave is clearly a profit. The chicken was thoroughly constant temperature to the innermost. From cheap equipment I do not know such a perfection, because it is inside often still quite cool and bloody.
Then I have tried frozen pizza and also could, at least by the quality of the preparation, convince. Without automatic program, just as it is the manufacturer recommended. 10-14 minutes at 200 degrees. With automatic is probably in 6 - 8-minute well
but I wanted to try it "classic". But there is also a private prescription of a pizza for the large baking sheet.
The inverter microwave, also tried today with ready meals, seems very effective. So effectively I will deduct 10% of the time or power on the package next time because the ready meal was very hot - no other side effects! Also the chocolate cake with berries had to cool down first time without unpleasant aftertaste.
I'm curious how it will end with the Lidl finished cake, home baking! Unfortunately, that is not yet on the shelves, but will be in there like every year soon!
A lower heat source, within the meaning of top and bottom heat, there is not in this new model. Interestingly, stands on a sticker on the door of the new device, however, "Dual Layer Cooking" but how and what stands nowhere. This refers, according to Sharp, only on the combined programs provide Dual Grill & micro, hot air & Micro are available.
But the pizza at the bottom even without "stomach ache", was crispy I think the cake will also be fine. This microwave is for me still a quasi rebirth and improvement (inverter microwave) of the old models with new design and for all who had an old Sharp before of which they (unfortunately) had to safely disconnect a buy recommendation !!
There is also a "cake program" in the 18 automatic programs. There are two "COOK" button, so be careful how you push otherwise you wonder the name is not analogous to the operating instructions! (C & AC)
Was very curious about the pork - also an automatic program! If that is as tasty as the chicken then it must be a delicacy I thought. But i, compared to the chicken he is the loser. Although he is quite enjoyable if you prepare it with the Program AE, in just under 40 minutes per kilo but ultimately no match for two hours in the oven at 180 degrees with followed by two hours' rest in the pipe. However, Sharp recommends dry roast pork and I like it better as juicy. A crust on roast I like less but available at the automatic anyway can not but be safe "created" by grill later.
As I said: Interesting, brilliantly translucent, international and traditional recipes, even dumplings and bread also are included!
Rice seems to be nothing special. You needed earlier special dishes for this is just more of normal pots talk now. (Of course, suitable for the microwave!) Rice I have already tried, similar to the supplied recipe. In normal microwave dishes. Probably I took too little water, it was quite enjoyable but somehow al dente! :-)
The volume in the operating I find quite normal. The view of the food is very good, a clear, unclouded picture. The device temperature during operation is not flashy, after each operation turns anyway a cooling. Reverse the machine can, according to instruction even be pushed to the wall, the minimum distances are given. But very delicate should not be this point, he was not even at my old Sharp and the outside was warmer!
Maximum cooking time of 90 minutes can be set.
A chicken with 1.5 kilos needs in 33 minutes. Roast veal is listed under "Chicken" and should so need to 22 minutes for a kilo. Fabled considering that must be taken to estimate the normal, recommended cooking time at 180 degrees with 150 minutes! To each his own ....
Good news: There is a printed manual there!
