I have been using a microwave oven for 25 years, mainly to heat up leftovers, tea and coffee and defrosting meat, poultry, seafood and bread. It was only when I was asked by Samsung to come up with a collection of my favourite recipes and some diehard “sure shots” that I realized the versatility and extraordinary potential of the new Samsung Microwave. Of course the model I am now using also has convection cooking, grilling and two unique programmes which combine convection and microwave, and grilling and microwave. Mine also has a spit roasting option which, as the name suggests, is excellent for roasting and barbecue cooking since you don’t have to turn the meat over. The convection + microwave mode is especially good for non- vegetarian dishes, cakes and breads — recipes which require a more conventional method of cooking. The microwave element just speeds up the process. The microwave + grill combo which I especially like, is ideal for baked pasta or anything which needs browning or a quick colour. I have had enormous fun trying out both everyday dishes from my kitchen as well as quite complicated recipes which become infinitely more simple in the microwave. A couple of revelations which I am now going to use in my daily cooking are: steaming vegetables either fresh or frozen. This is both easy and healthy, and consumes much less time and fewer utensils than conventional boiling, steaming or blanching. I also discovered that the cooking of non- vegetarian dishes, especially chicken and seafood is again both quick and effortless as well as being enormously effective in the microwave. Baking has also been a huge surprise! For everyday Indian cooking, I found idlis, upma, sheera and dhokla a complete “piece of cake” in the microwave. Let’s not forget the amount of utensils, cutlery and crockery that you save on when you cook in one glass dish. I have thoroughly enjoyed this experience and I hope the Samsung Microwave makes a difference to your cooking as it has done in mine.

By the way, I also found that the male members of my household were extremely attracted by the Samsung high tech look and feel and were, therefore, easily encouraged to use it. This is clearly a step in the right direction. I’m sure other women will agree!

Microwave Oven specifications

The Samsung Microwave Oven has established itself as a household staple, offering a blend of innovative technology and user-friendly features that streamline cooking processes. One of its standout characteristics is its sleek and modern design, which complements any kitchen aesthetic. Available in various sizes and finishes, including stainless steel and black, these microwaves fit seamlessly into both contemporary and traditional interiors.

One of the main features of Samsung microwaves is the Smart Inverter technology. This unique system delivers precise cooking power levels for even heating and defrosting. Unlike traditional microwaves that operate only at full power or off, Smart Inverter adjusts power levels throughout cooking, ensuring food is heated evenly without cold spots.

Another notable feature is the ceramic enamel interior. This easy-to-clean surface is not only durable but also resists stains and odor absorption, making maintenance hassle-free. The ceramic coating is designed to be naturally non-stick, which means spills can be wiped away easily, enhancing the overall cooking experience.

Samsung’s Sensor Cook technology is another innovation that simplifies meal preparation. This feature automatically detects humidity levels and adjusts cooking time based on the food being prepared. Users can enjoy perfectly cooked dishes without the guesswork traditionally associated with microwave cooking.

Furthermore, the microwave comes equipped with a variety of pre-programmed settings. These one-touch buttons cater to common food items such as popcorn, pizza, and beverages, providing convenience for busy families and individuals. Additionally, the eco mode available in many models conserves energy by reducing power consumption when the microwave is not in use.

The design of Samsung microwaves also incorporates user-friendly elements like bright LED lighting, which illuminates the cooking space, and control panels that are intuitive and easy to navigate. Many models feature a minimalist interface with a clear digital display, allowing users to monitor cooking progress at a glance.

Safety is a priority in Samsung microwaves, which often include child safety locks to prevent unintended use, ensuring peace of mind in homes with young children.

In conclusion, Samsung Microwave Ovens combine advanced technology with practical designs and features, making them an ideal choice for modern kitchens. From the Smart Inverter and Sensor Cook technologies to the easy-to-clean enamel interior, these microwaves cater to various cooking needs, enhancing culinary experiences while delivering reliable performance and convenience.
