Simple functionality and reliability

Microwave oven without grill with mechanical control Panasonic NN-SM221WZPE is one of the most successful models of kitchen appliances, thanks to which it continues to occupy one of the leading places in our hit parade. Simplicity of design, quality components, impeccable assembly, practical design, basic functionality, as well as intuitive operation — this is all you need for a daily assistant. No "bells and whistles" and unnecessary frills, which would still not be in demand in most culinary experiments. The working chamber, the inner walls of which are covered with heat-resistant enamel, has a standard volume of 20 liters. The model is equipped with a swivel mechanism with a roller ring and a glass table Ø 255 mm.

Reheating ready meals

The power of a microwave heater of 800 W is enough to perform basic functions: defrosting, cooking and warming up simple dishes. But the device will not be a full-fledged replacement for the usual full-size stove, where you can steam, stew, cook, fry and bake. The device is controlled by 2 rotary knobs. The smaller diameter switch allows you to select the microwave power for different types of cooking. So, a power setting of 250 W is needed for heating dishes, 270 W for defrosting food, 360 W for low heating, 700 W for medium heating, and 800 W for high power. The second switch makes it possible to set the time of thermal processing of the product in the range from 0 to 35 minutes. If you prefer a device with electronic controls and a display, then we recommend you the related Panasonic NN-ST254MZPE model, supplemented with auto-cook and auto-defrost modes.
