Let's talk about the advantages of the steaming and baking machine:
Compared with pure steamer and oven, integrated steamer has at least two advantages. First, its functions are combined into one, which saves space and can effectively solve the pain point of small-sized family kitchen decoration. Second, the steaming and baking machine has the functions of steaming, fermenting, sterilizing and thawing in addition to pure steaming and baking, which is enough to meet the daily cooking needs. In other words, there is nothing wrong with a steaming and baking machine, a pure steamer and a pure oven.
The following problem is that there are many brands of steaming machines on the market. As a consumer, what points should we pay attention to when choosing?
brand
There are two directions for steaming and baking machine to choose from in brand selection. One is professional kitchen appliances brands, such as Kaidu and Tai Fang. The other is big brands of home appliances, such as Midea and Siemens. Professional kitchen appliances brands and household appliances brands have their own advantages. The former is specialized, while the latter is big and complete. If you pay more attention to the steamer itself, I personally recommend the brand Kaidu. The comments of netizens are good, and as far as I know, only their machines can make Beijing roast duck. Moreover, quality stability is very important for this kind of household appliances that may be placed for a period of time before use. Therefore, it is recommended to choose a brand that has been steamed for a long time, with more technical precipitation and humanized design and better experience.
intelligence
This includes reservation function, intelligent menu, one-button menu and operation keys on the operation panel, which are considered by many lazy cancer, technology control or baking white.
capacity
In general, a family of 3-4 people can basically meet the needs of 24-28L. If several relatives and friends will be invited to visit at home on weekends and holidays, then a bigger support scene is needed. At present, the largest embedded steamer on the market is CASDON Kado-model SR60B-TD, and the capacity of 60L is enough to satisfy the stomach of 8- 10 people.
Temperature control
The key points include whether the overall temperature of the cavity is constant, temperature adjustment and whether the temperature displayed on the panel is consistent with the actual temperature (or the temperature difference is small).
clean
Cleaning should consider whether there is intelligent cleaning function, and whether the cavity material is easy to clean.
safe
This includes child locks, power supplies, alarms and so on.
After all, steaming and baking machines can't be bought by a few or dozens, and they are usually used for several years. You can't go wrong by shopping around and choosing carefully, can you?
Siemens.
Although the steaming and baking machine saves a lot of space, it is still slightly inferior to the traditional pure steamer and pure oven. It is recommended to buy separately.
Don't buy ACA, send a defective product, and don't return it. After-sale garbage and waste water tanks are all furnishings, and it is difficult to clean up the water.
The steamer recommended beauty.
Midea X6-348E steamer has the advantage of large capacity of 34 liters, which fully meets the needs of small-sized families, with moderate size and no space occupation. Micro-steaming integrates three functions, which is convenient, practical and efficient, and can cook delicious food at will. The oven door opens and closes 90 degrees, which is very convenient. 4. Mirror design is very convenient for cleaning and scrubbing.
Disadvantages: The whole fuselage is not very big, but the machine is very heavy and a little difficult to move.
Midea X6-348E steamer not only perfectly integrates microwave oven, electric steamer and oven, but also has excellent functions, especially barbecue function. Everyone likes to go out to barbecue stalls in summer, but there are many health problems in the barbecue stalls outside, so it is not very healthy to eat them often. This oven is really suitable for me who likes barbecue!
The whole oven panel is touch-operated and very sensitive. For example, it takes only 20 minutes to make steamed buns. When the door panel of the oven is opened, a stream of steam is quickly ejected, and the steamed buns are full of fragrance, and the soft and delicious hot steamed buns are out of the pot. The effect of steamed stuffed bun is very good, the surface is dry and the moisture is just right, so it won't feel very wet. The whole steamed stuffed bun is soft and slightly Q-shaped, and the effect is very satisfactory.
The appearance of the whole oven is the design of mirror glass plate and bright paint. The shape is simple and capable, and the black overall looks very high-end. The handle of the oven door is wide and comfortable, and the oven door is still quite tight, with good sealing performance. It takes a little force to open the door.
Siemens, Taifang and Boss are the top three brands in the market.
Whether it is better to buy a steaming oven or separate the steaming box from the oven depends mainly on your needs. If you have both steaming and baking, it is often more cost-effective and practical to buy a steaming oven.
1. What problems will you encounter when using the steamer oven combination?
1. Pure ovens are easy to idle, and the combined utilization rate is too low. From once a week to once a month to once every six months, there should be many people, because baking is really time-consuming.
2. The combination can't realize the function of tender baking, and it can't be realized by steam baking. For baking that requires steam, such as European buns and baguettes, steam should be added manually.
3. Need more cabinets, not very friendly to families with small kitchens.
Second, what are the benefits of using a steaming and baking machine?
1. The functions of the steaming and baking machine are superimposed, which can be steamed, roasted and steamed together, and the cooking tastes are more diversified, which is more friendly to families with different tastes.
2. High utilization rate. Generally speaking, the frequency of steaming vegetables and pasta is very high, which can improve the cost performance of buying a steaming and baking machine.
3. One machine can replace all kinds of kitchen appliances, saving kitchen space.
4. In terms of cleaning, after baking, if the liner is dirty, it can be steamed again to soften oil stains and make it easier to clean. Moreover, if there is water in the liner after steaming, the liner can also be dried by pure baking function.
Third, the use experience of steaming and baking machine
Saving space and steam baking are two favorite functions. You can use the pure steaming function first and then the pure roasting function, such as roast duck, which tastes good after steaming. Friends who are interested in cooking can study different patterns through the steamer. At present, the all-in-one steamer has completely become the mainstream. No matter in the industry, they are investing in all-in-one steamer, and platforms such as Tmall, JD.COM and Suning are also trying their best to show more opportunities for all-in-one steamer, with a view to adding another product growth point in the field of kitchen appliances.
Haier's is better
Divided into desktop/stand-alone and embedded.
Desktop/freestanding
Advantages (compared to embedded)—
The desktop steamer is mainly a choice after home decoration or insufficient cabinet position. Compared with the embedded steamer, the desktop has the advantages of convenient cleaning and low price.
1000-2000 interval
I. 10 1W series
The capacity of this series is 15L, and the drip evaporator and water tank are externally connected independently. The heat dissipation method is from the top, which is not suitable for being placed in the cabinet. The heating mode is independent hot air convection on the back. As for the double-layer baking mentioned in 10 1W, the effect is average and the probability of failure is high (generally speaking, the capacity of the desktop is too small, and the temperature difference of the desktop is not as good as that of the embedded one.
Principle: There is a thermometer A in the inner cavity and a thermometer B in the evaporator. When the temperature value of B is higher than the set value of A, the heating pipe at the bottom of the evaporation tray containing water will stop heating, and the electronic valve (the machine has not been disassembled, but it is usually controlled by the electronic valve to pump water, so think about it) will start supplying water. If the thermometer B value keeps dropping, it means that the water injection is successful, then close the valve to stop the water supply and continue to heat the evaporation plate.
Some problems caused by this principle, such as continuous water injection to generate steam, not constant temperature, water and food in the same space, generate steam, constantly.
In the process of cooking, there may be a cross taste. In addition, the failure rate of drip evaporator is still relatively high, and it is often disobedient. Too much water is injected, and the water is easy to overflow into the inner cavity.
Second, the card degree ST28D-X7
With a capacity of 28L, direct-injection evaporator, the water tank is not independent (the oven door needs to be opened), the heat dissipation mode is front (it can be placed in the cabinet, but the exhaust hole needs to be at the outer edge), and the heating mode is used to bake up and down. There are generally three types of evaporators: trickle evaporator, boiling evaporator and direct injection evaporator. At present, the direct-injection evaporator is the mainstream. One is to generate constant-temperature steam and spray it directly on food, which has no odor and is easier to take care of.
The price of this model is generally around 1500, and the cost performance is acceptable. The value of this model is lower than that of Panasonic nu-JK 200 w. Except for the defect that the dependent water tank and the lower heating pipe are exposed, the function is relatively unified. Here you may ask, which is better, hot air convection or heating up and down pipes? Actually, it's not better. It's more about cooking/baking food, which is more suitable. Some are more suitable for hot air, others are more suitable for baking up and down, but most foods can have both.
Third, boss CT73X
Robam boss, a desktop steamer, has a capacity of 24L, 1.2L water tank life of about 1 hour, the operation panel has Chinese subtitles, the operation is simple, and 30 kinds of automatic menus are suitable for small white cooking. Heating methods include pure steaming, steam baking and hot air baking, and the temperature range is wide.
The appearance of this all-in-one steaming and baking machine is similar to that of Kaidu, Vantage and Mi Yun, but the heating mode of the baking tube, like Panasonic, belongs to independent hot air heating mode, and the average daily price is less than 2,000 yuan.

This is also a double-layer baking, and the effect is better than101w. However, because it is a separate hot air behind, the side close to the door panel returns because the heat hits the door panel, and the temperature is higher than other places and the color is darker than other areas.
Panasonic new: NU-JA 180W

I hope my answer can help all my friends.
At present, the integrated stoves on the market include steaming oven, steaming oven, disinfection cabinet and other styles. At first, I also liked the steaming oven, which felt more complete, but many people said it was not very safe, and it was dual-purpose, and the steaming and baking effect was not good. Considering my family's eating habits, I prefer to keep fit, and I don't have much demand for the oven, but I steam several dishes from time to time. Finally, I chose OPP flagship P8Z integrated stove with steaming oven.
Facts have proved that for families who like to eat Chinese food, steamer integrated stoves and open kitchens are the best partners.
First of all, the integrated stove has a good effect of absorbing lampblack, and I can't smell lampblack when cooking, which is also a satisfactory place for me. There is little noise at work, which is much better than the range hood within my acceptable range. At least we can hear each other clearly.
Secondly, cooking is not the biggest headache for housewives. The most troublesome thing is to clean up the kitchen. The oil screen of the integrated stove is detachable and easy to clean. It can be cleaned with a piece of cloth. There is a big oil box below, which won't leak oil and is easy to pour. This will make the kitchen look clean as a whole.
In addition, the steamer has a very large capacity, 60L, which can accurately control the temperature and also has the function of reservation. Cooking is very convenient. For a gentleman who goes out early and comes back late, hot meals are much better than microwave ovens. If a friend is a guest at home, he can cook multiple dishes at the same time, which is also easy to entertain.
So personally, I don't recommend steaming integrated stoves, and the failure rate of steaming is still very high according to the current technology. It is recommended to bring a steamer.
