At an affordable price Capacity is the largest class oven range Toshiba "Stone oven oven ER - H8" I bought it

Once purchased, home appliances are not ready to replace, but this time we decided to purchase a new microwave oven that will be installed in the office at GIGAZINE Editorial Department.

The microwave oven currently available on the market becomes an "oven range" with an oven function when it becomes sophisticated, but the oven range ranges from less than 20,000 yen to more than 150,000 yen from each company Many models are on sale. Considering the use in the office this time, oven functions are squeezed to a certain extent, emphasis on quickness of warming, simplicity of operation, etc. As a result of this and that discussions, Toshiba's "stone oven ER - H 8 "Was chosen.

That's why Toshiba's "Stone oven ER-H8" was chosen and the actual use was as follows. It may be good to try to refer to how to choose a microwave oven.Oven Range ER-H8 Product Information: Home Appliances Toshiba Living Doors

Incidentally, this time we first set the following selection criteria.

◆ Standards for selection of microwave ovens
· Maximum output 1000 W
· With infrared sensor
· In-chamber cleaning by steam possible
· Recently released as much as possible

·output
It is the standard for choosing the shortest possible time to warm up. Currently, 1000 W is the highest output value for home use range, and 1800 W for business use to be used at convenience stores etc.,200 V power supply requiredTherefore, it seems that it can not be used with a household 100 V power supply.

·sensor
There are three types of sensors in the microwave oven: "steam sensor", "weight sensor" and "infrared sensor". The steam sensor measures the temperature by sensing the steam coming out of the food, but there is a disadvantage that it will be too warm if you lock up the steam with lap etc. The weight sensor is a function to adjust the time to warm by measuring the weight of the food placed in the cabinet, but it is necessary to pay attention to warm up too much depending on the weight of the container. Since the infrared sensor is warmed while sensing the surface temperature, it seems that warming unevenness and errors are reduced as compared with other sensors. So I decided to pick one with infrared sensor this time. There is also a "temperature sensor" used when using the oven grill, but because it does not place importance on the oven function, it was excluded from the standard this time.

·steam
By using steam, it becomes possible to float and drop floating dirt such as oil and hardened curry, which makes it possible to shorten the cleaning time. In addition, there is also the charm that using steam warms the flesh and more to fluffy.

· Release date
It is because energy saving efficiency may be bad if the release date is old. Also, due to the possibility of affecting the service life and sensors and other functions, the release time is limited to 2010.

While satisfying these criteria, we have chosen as much cheap one as possible as much as possible.

Toshiba "Stone oven oven ER - H8" arrived. The price at the time of purchase is 30,275 yen (tax included).


When I open the cardboard, the inside looks like this.


I removed the styrofoam of cushioning material and removed it from the box. Toshiba "Stone oven oven ER - H8" has become a decisive factor in the 30 - liter capacity. Even within the oven range, the capacity of the storage capacity of 30 L is the maximum class size.

I tried warming up rice with automatic warming. It is cooked rice which sells in the supermarket.


The plastic tray weighs 9 g.


Together with the tray 259 g. The weight of rice is just 250 g.


A movie that warms rice automatically with Toshiba "Stone oven oven ER - H8". It took 1 minute 24 seconds to warm 250 grams of rice in a plastic tray. Remaining time is displayed in 1 minute 20 seconds from warming start.


Next, I tried to warm "Horai's pig milk" using the steam function.


When warming pork bun, use the function of "3 steam warm".


The operation to use "3 steam warm" is very easy, just press the red button written "1. Speed ​​2. Soft 3. Steam warm start" in the center of the picture three times.


This is actually warming the Chinese food with "3 steam warm". It took 2 minutes 20 seconds. The remaining time is displayed in 1 minute 42 seconds from the start of warming.


As a comment I tried for the first time, there was an image that was difficult to operate as a highly functional microwave oven, but the frequently used buttons are tightly limited, the display of the main body is also easy to understand, so it is quite intuitive I was able to operate it. As a point of concern, it took some time before the remaining time was displayed, and it seems to be a little long to wait until it is displayed before the range. Since it seems that it will be completed in about 1 to 2 minutes if you warm up your bento etc., it may be better to leave it to the range without worrying about the display when warming up automatically.

Since we needed to procure two microwave ovens this time, we actually purchased another one another model. This review will be delivered tomorrow.
