This Bosch combination microwave oven excels in simplifying diverse cooking tasks. For example, AutoPilot 15 transforms meal preparation; imagine effortlessly cooking a perfect roast chicken or baking a potato gratin by simply selecting the appropriate program and inputting the weight. The oven automatically adjusts to the ideal settings, even switching off when done.
Its combination functionality is a significant advantage. You can use the hot air function for baking crispy cookies or a cake, then quickly switch to microwave mode for reheating leftovers. For a quick weeknight dinner, the fast pre-heating coupled with the Pizza function means you can have a perfectly baked pizza ready in less time. The microwave can also be combined with the grill for dishes that require both thorough cooking and a crispy finish, like gratins or casseroles.
When it comes to cleaning, the EcoClean system significantly reduces effort. After cooking, if you have light soiling, a simple cycle with water and washing-up liquid softens the residue, allowing for a quick wipe-down with a damp cloth. The pop-out controls ensure the fascia remains clean and sleek, as there are no protruding knobs to collect grime.
The LED lighting provides excellent visibility of your food, allowing you to monitor browning or rising without opening the door, which helps maintain consistent cooking temperatures. The 36 cm metal turntable ensures even cooking throughout, particularly beneficial when using microwave functions.
