The Samsung GE83XR microwave oven is a kitchen appliance with a very stylish look. Equipped with microwaves and grill. Among the automatic programs there are 4 defrosting modes, ready-made recipes for preparing products for a healthy diet (41 programs) and Russian dishes. The grill allows you to fry meat, vegetables. Among the shortcomings, I note the mirror surface of the door, the instability of the oven itself when you press the door open button.
Appearance
The body is made in black with a mirrored opening door. In the upper right corner there is an LED screen. Internal coating - bioceramic enamel. It is easy to clean, according to the manufacturer, it fights against the growth of bacteria. Only a small portion of microwaves can boast of such a coating. For example, the models Gorenje MMO20DEI, Candy CMXW 22 DW, Electrolux EMM 20000 OC use conventional enamel.
Dimensions (Sun * Shr * Hl) - 280x490x370 mm, and volume - 23 liters. Medium-sized turntable - 288 mm. The door is opened with a button.
Power
The maximum microwave power is 800 watts, and the grill (heater) operates at 1100 watts. For the first mode, you can choose one of six power levels - from 100 to 800 watts. The maximum level is only used for quickly heating food. For cooking, it is better to use 400-600 W modes.
Mode of operation
Samsung GE83XR works in three modes: microwaves, grill and microwaves + grill. They can be used individually or combined. I’ll tell you about the capabilities of each mode in more detail:
- Microwaves allow cooking cereals, soups, vegetables and meat. The same mode is used when defrosting, heating ready meals.
- The grill is used for frying meat, vegetables, you can cook grilled chicken, french fries, hot sandwiches.
- Microwaves + grill. This combination mode will significantly reduce grilling time. It allows you to cook using a heating element and microwaves at the same time or in turn. Combination mode is used for cooking large cuts of meat or fish and casseroles. Small pieces are best fried only in grill mode. With the consistent use of the programs, you can use them in turn to quickly bring the dish to readiness with microwaves, and then brown it under the grill.
Control
The microwave is controlled by an electronic panel. According to the manufacturer, the panel itself is touch-sensitive, but in practice it is semi-touch - you need to press the buttons. They are not very convenient: you need to press in the very center before the sound signal. The panel itself, due to its flat surface, is easy to clean from grease and other contaminants, which cannot be said about the usual keypad, like the Gorenje MMO20DEI or Sharp R-6852RK. Understanding the settings is easy if you read the instructions.
