What is good in Toshiba ML-EM45P(BS) countertop microwave oven?
The fully-featured microwave promises easier and faster cooking time with better tastes. I’m about to reveal standout features brought by this microwave oven, so you should keep scrolling through the page.
1. Smart sensor for cooking
The countertop microwave is equipped with a smart sensor that offers 6 auto menus such as potato, rice, frozen pizza, and vegetable. If you are a newcomer in the kitchen, this feature can help you prepare the dinner. The built-in sensor can detect food’s humidity level during the cooking process and adjust the time as well as temperature for the best result and taste. With a smart sensor, everybody can cook!
2. Timer function
Never lose track of time with the microwave’s large display. The large display shows the cooking time remaining as well as a countdown timer. It also has a clock function, allowing you to check how much time left to the next mealtime.
3. Preset options
There are ten power levels to choose from, which is useful for a variety of things such as keeping food warm, boiling water, softening butter, and heating food, among others. It is also possible to change the power level when the machine is running. With such flexibility, this is one of the best ovens of 2020 from Toshiba.
4. Custom defrost – Toshiba countertop microwave oven
Defrosting dinner leftover or meat is no longer overwhelming, thanks to the smart defrost functionality brought by Toshiba ML-EM45P(BS). The microwave offers custom defrost and auto defrost which can be used for different purposes. If your food weighs around 1 pound, auto defrost will automatically adjust the power and timer for optimal heating. For custom defrost, input the food weight and let the unit do the rest.
5. Energy-saving mode
The countertop microwave supports energy-saving eco mode that helps minimize energy consumption. All you have to do is turn on the Eco mode and the unit will automatically reduce its standby power by 50 percent. Aside from saving energy, it also saves operation costs.
6. Dynamic turntable
This is an innovative feature that allows the turntable to return to the initial position. The technique resets the position each time after use so you will find the dish position is exactly the same as you put it. This may sound simple but it made me comfortable when taking the dish or mug out of the microwave.
7. Child safety lock
Children often wander in the kitchen without your supervision and potentially hurt themselves or cause unexpected damage to your appliances. For this reason, Toshiba embedded a child safety lock that ensures your kids’ safety when playing in the kitchen.
