The desktop micro-steaming and baking all-in-one machine is small in size, with multiple functions such as microwave oven, steamer, oven, etc., with higher utilization rate and saving a lot of purchase costs, so the sales volume in the past two years is very considerable. So, what is the reputation of Yidunpu micro steaming and baking machine? Which model is easy to use? Is EDC-WZ23 worth getting? Next, let's take a look at the full review of this product.
In terms of capacity, the capacity of the desktop micro-steaming and baking machine is generally about 20-30L, which is enough for a family of four to use daily. My EDC-WZ23 micro steaming and baking all-in-one machine has a capacity of 23L, and 8 small bowls can be placed inside at the same time, which can steam the whole family's meals at one time.
With a steam power of 2000W and a baking power of 1700W, it is not inferior to the embedded model, and even more efficient than some models. Moreover, with the same power, the small capacity desktop model will fill the steam faster and bake faster, so the cooking efficiency is higher, the cooking time is shorter, and it is more suitable for small families.
In terms of operation mode, EDC-WZ23 supports composite control of touch + knob, the knob in the middle of the bottom supports OK and pause functions, the left side is the display screen, and the right side is 5 touch buttons, the functions are microwave, steam, baking, reservation and cancel.
The system has more than 40 built-in menus, and there is a catalog on the top of the machine, which can be selected according to the catalog rotary knob when using, which is very convenient.
Users can also use the touch buttons on the right to select a single microwave, steam, bake, or a combination of functions to customize the operation. Two fingers can be pressed at the same time to combine at will, such as micro-steaming (microwave + steam), micro-baking (microwave + baking), steaming and roasting (steaming + baking) and other functions to increase the cooking speed and improve the taste of food.
The steam power of this machine reaches 2000W, and the inner cavity is made of food-grade 304 stainless steel, which is durable and easy to clean. There are 12 direct injection steam holes on the right side, which sprays more evenly and can form a vortex steam circulation with the fan on the back, which quickly fills the entire cavity.
The machine uses an external water tank with a capacity of 700ml, and the longest cooking battery life can be up to 90 minutes. The water tank is combined with the water tank, which is hidden at the bottom of the fuselage, so it can be easily refilled when there is a shortage of water in the middle.
The micro-steaming and baking machine can realize the function of double-layer steaming through the grid, and the upper layer is mainly used to steam staple food, and the lower layer is used to steam vegetables. The preparation is very simple, wash the rice and put it in a bowl, add green beans, corn, carrot cubes and an appropriate amount of water; Cut the baby cabbage into long sections, soak the vermicelli in warm water, mix the minced garlic with soy sauce, oyster sauce and other seasonings, and put them on the plate in turn; The purple potato bun can be placed directly on the grill.
There are a total of three bowls of rice, four purple potato buns and a ** steamed vegetable on the upper and lower floors, and the internal space is still relatively spacious.
Select the steam mode for a few minutes, and less than half a minute after starting, the steam fills the entire inner chamber. This steam oven all-in-one machine adopts the method of steam exhaust back, and there is a row of exhaust holes in the upper right corner of the back of the machine, which can discharge the excess steam in the inner cavity, ensure the continuous circulation of steam in the inner cavity, and can also effectively avoid the generation of condensation.
The time it takes to steam varies depending on the ingredients, but assorted rice takes a little longer. After the purple potato bun and garlic vermicelli baby cabbage are steamed, they can be taken out and replaced with other ingredients by the way. Of course, there's nothing wrong with taking them out together in the end. Pull out the net rack, and the assorted rice and purple potato buns are steamed.
The steamed rice is clearly grained, and the rice grains are mixed with green beans, corn, carrots, etc., which is very beautiful, and children like to eat it.
The steamed purple potato bun is very soft and elastic, and it can be quickly rebounded by pressing with your fingers, and the skin does not feel wet and sticky. If you break it open and take a look, the purple potato filling inside is bright and rich, and it can be seen that it has been thoroughly steamed from the inside out.
Take out the garlic vermicelli baby cabbage and sprinkle a little chopped green onion, the vermicelli is soaked in minced garlic and sauce, which is clear and refreshing. The baby cabbage is tender and crispy, and the bottom of the dish is full of juice, which shows that the amount of steam is very sufficient.
In terms of baking, Yidunpu EDC-WZ23 adopts upper and lower baking pipes + back hot air circulation + upper and lower independent temperature control configuration, and the baking power is 1700W. The top of the machine is equipped with an M-shaped baking pipe, the bottom is equipped with a hidden baking pipe, the back is equipped with a high-speed fan, and there is an electronic temperature probe on the left and right sides, which can independently control the temperature of the upper and lower tubes to meet the baking needs of upper roasting, lower roasting, upper and lower roasting, air frying and so on.
The baking effect was measured, and I chose an easy-to-use oatmeal cake for testing. Mix two eggs, a carton of yogurt, an appropriate amount of rolled oats, a small amount of cornstarch and an appropriate amount of raisins, stir well, pour into a long baking tray lined with oiled paper, and select the baking mode for a few minutes.
The baked oatmeal cake is browned and attractive, and it is taken out of the baking tray and placed on a plate with hot milk, and it is a simple and nutritious breakfast. Press the oatmeal cake with your hands, the inside is fluffy and does not collapse, and the resilience is very good. When you bite into it, the skin is crispy, the inside is soft, and there is also some graininess, which is more chewy, low-fat and nutritious.
This micro-steaming and baking machine also has its own air frying function, which can increase the heating speed through hot air convection, and there is no need to add additional cooking oil during the frying process. Its air outlet is arranged very evenly, basically covering the entire backplate, so that the coverage of hot air is wider, there will be no heat in the middle and cold on both sides, and the circulation is more efficient.
Next, test it with chicken corn and fries. Line a baking sheet with tin foil, spread the chicken flakes and fries on top and select the air frying function of the baking mode for minutes.
During the frying process, you can see the ingredients bubbling when you light up the stove lamp, which is very **. The fried chicken corn and French fries are crispy and golden in skin, the color is uniform and consistent, and the hot air circulation performance is really good. The chicken rice flower has a tender meat inside, and the French fries are soft and glutinous, charred on the outside and tender on the inside, and it tastes quite good with tomato sauce.
This micro-steaming and baking all-in-one machine also supports the steaming and baking combination function, which can combine the three functions of microwave, steam, and baking. Place the marinated chicken thighs on a grid rack with a foil-lined baking sheet on the bottom. Select the steam-baking combination mode for minutes.
When heated, the grease inside the chicken thighs is exuded by heat, and the skin is oily, and some steam will be added to the inner cavity from time to time, making it look foggy. Each of the grilled chicken thighs is **crispy, and when you tear it open, you can see that there is still a lot of juice inside, and the taste is fresh and tender. The combination of steam + baking function is very suitable for meat products with thin meat layers such as chicken wings and lute legs, because simple baking can easily cause the internal moisture to lose, resulting in the meat quality and affecting the taste.
Its microwave function is also very practical, using inverter microwave, supporting 100w-900w a total of 9 levels of adjustment, which can better meet the needs of different ingredients for firepower, in addition to being used for daily defrosting and reheating, it can also be used to do some simple cooking.
The bottom of the inner cavity is equipped with a microcrystalline panel, which allows the ingredients to be heated more evenly, and the surface is smooth and easier to clean daily.
I usually use it to warm milk and turn cooked vegetables, but it only takes a minute to drink warm milk in the morning, which is very convenient. The dish can be re-cooked in two or three minutes, and it is heated inside and outside at the same time, so there will be no excess water vapor, and the taste is the same as that of freshly fried.
In terms of post-cleaning, the inner cavity of this micro-steaming and baking machine is made of food-grade 304 stainless steel, and the bottom is a microcrystalline panel, which can be wiped directly with a rag. The machine is also preset with self-cleaning programs such as drying, antibacterial, and descaling, as long as you select the corresponding menu and set the running time, the machine will automatically clean, which is very trouble-free.
If you want to keep the inner cavity dry after steaming, you can use the drying function, which can dry the remaining water in the inner cavity in 5 minutes, and even the small water droplets in the corners disappear without a trace.
I have to say that this EDENPURE EDC-WZ23 micro steaming and baking machine is indeed a multi-functional cooking artifact, which combines micro, steaming, baking and other functions in multiple ways, with 2000W steam power 12-hole direct injection, equipped with upper and lower baking pipes + back hot air circulation + upper and lower independent temperature control configuration, supports nine-speed frequency conversion microwave, micro steaming and baking can be combined at will, one machine is multi-functional. The machine adopts touch + knob operation, with preset recipes, novices can easily grasp it, and the capacity of 23L is very suitable for daily use by a family of four.
