Bosch (built-in microwave oven) will relieve any hostess from the need to find free space for this so important thing in the kitchen. Before you go to the store for a new microwave, you need to consider in detail what the Bosch microwave is.
Types of microwave
Each microwave oven is characterized by a set of specific functions that depend on the configuration. Options:
- microwaves;
- microwave/grill;
- microwaves/grill/convection.
The first type of oven has a standard set of functions - heating, defrosting and cooking simple dishes. However, in order to cook more exquisitely, manufacturers have decided to build a grill into the ovens - this is the second type of microwave.
But only a microwave with a convection function can show its full potential. The main advantage of such devices is not so much the possibility of cooking using a grill, but the presence of a cooking function, the mechanism of which is based on the circulation of hot air. A device with this function will be a great helper for people who want to eat deliciously and not suffer from a terrible increase in temperature when cooking in ovens, which is especially important in summer.
Grill types
Certainly, one of the most reliable manufacturers of home appliances and electronics is Bosch. A microwave oven (built-in) with a grill is produced by this company in two versions:
- with quartz grill;
- with heating element grill.
The heating element in the oven is located on top, but can also be duplicated at the bottom of the microwave. With two heating elements, the device will cost much more, but it will allow you to heat the dish from different sides. In addition, in the process of cooking, for example, chicken, its skin will acquire a golden color and become crispy. A microwave oven with one heating element cannot boast of this.
Quartz grill significantly saves space inside the oven and is located at the top. At the same time, he does not need special care and he gains power faster than his heating element colleague. From this follows the conclusion: a microwave oven with a quartz grill is much more expensive than with a heating element.
Internal volume of the device
This is one of the most important criteria to consider when choosing a Bosch microwave. A microwave oven (built-in) must meet all the requirements for it, including this one. The fact is that each buyer in this case is guided not only by the size of the kitchen, but also by how many peoplefood will be cooked.
So, for one person it will be enough to purchase a device with a 9 liter volume. And for a family of three, this will not be enough. They should opt for a larger oven with an internal volume of 21 liters.
But the microwave, the price of which will be higher than the previous two options, has a volume of up to 42 liters and is suitable for people who often receive guests. Such a microwave is able to cook a large piece of meat, a large turkey, or cook a huge pot of soup.
It should be noted that in the line of Bosch built-in microwaves, models with dimensions of 38x60x32 cm and a power of 900 W, varied by a five-stage regulator, predominate. This is due to the high consumer demand for furnaces with such a volume.
Device management
The most popular Bosch built-in models have touch control, and cooking in them is almost automatic. Due to the ease of programming, the Bosch microwave oven collects positive reviews all over the Russian Internet, because housewives note both the operation of the device itself and the ease of care for it.
By the way, Bosch microwave ovens already have programs that allow you to cook a certain dish with a single click. You just need to look at the instructions, choose your favorite dish, put the ingredients in the oven and press the button.
Popular models
There are quite a few models of built-in microwave ovens. We list the most popular among consumers.
- Bosch HMT 85ML23.
- Bosch BFL 634GB1.
- Bosch BEL 634GS1.
The first Bosch microwave has 2 standard colors: black/white. The remaining two models are available only in dark colors, but with metal inserts, which gives them a more modern look. The internal volume of each oven is 21 liters. This is one of the main criteria that you should pay attention to when choosing a microwave. A chamber of this size is ideal for a large family, and for two people you can use more modest models - a volume of 15 liters.
Bosch (built-in microwave), with stainless steel lining, can withstand fairly high temperature fluctuations. In addition, stainless steel is highly impact and wear resistant and easy to clean.
Control of all three models is touch-sensitive, which makes it easy to control the process of cooking your favorite dishes. By the way, Bosch microwaves already have 7 automatic cooking programs.
In addition, all models of the presented Bosch microwave ovens are equipped with defrost, delayed start, grill and automatic food defrosting mode.
What else can please this device?
Bosch (built-in microwave) has a number of advantages over appliances from other manufacturers. For example, the HMT 85ML23 model is equipped with a multi-level grille thatallows you to cook several dishes at once, saving time and energy at the same time. This device also has a backlit display, and the timer can be set as a clock - a big plus for some buyers.
The Bosch BFL 634GB1 microwave has a hot steam function that allows it not to overdry food during cooking. In addition, this program can improve the taste of food and can provide heating 2 times faster.
Another model, BEL 634GS1, is equipped with a fan that ventilates the microwave after each cooking or reheating dish. Such a Bosch microwave oven, the instruction of which describes in detail the fan operation algorithm, is able to eliminate even persistent odors of spices. Therefore, nothing will affect the taste of the next reheated dish.
As an addition to the microwave, the manufacturer advises buying a Crisp plate, which will be a great purchase for lovers of fried foods. The peculiarity of this item is that it is able to quickly warm up and maintain a temperature of 200 degrees for quite a long time. At the same time, the material for making the plate is so durable that it can withstand even strong temperature changes.
Device cost
The cost of the microwave oven depends entirely on a number of built-in functions and programs. So, the Bosch BFL 634GB1 oven costs from 30 to 35 thousand rubles. And the price for the BEL 634GS1 model fluctuates between 48-50 thousand. Therefore, before choosing a kitchen device, you need to think about what programs you need. If youif you only plan to heat up food, then a microwave oven, the price of which exceeds 30 thousand rubles, will be useless in the kitchen. In this case, you should choose a simpler and less expensive option. If you want to see a full set of all kinds of functions in your device, then you will not be able to purchase such a device for less than 50 thousand.
