The Samsung GE83XR microwave oven is a kitchen appliance with a very stylish appearance. 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 part of microwave ovens can boast such a coating. For example, the models Gorenje MMO20DEI, Candy CMXW 22 DW, Electrolux EMM 20000 OC use ordinary enamel.
Dimensions (Vs * Shr * Gl) - 280x490x370 mm, and volume - 23 liters. Medium rotary table - 288 mm. The door is opened with a button.
Power
The maximum microwave power is 800 W, and the grill (heating element) operates at 1100 W. For the first mode, you can choose one of six power levels - from 100 to 800 W. The maximum level is only used for quickly heating food. For cooking, it is better to use 400-600 W modes.
Working hours
Samsung GE83XR operates in three modes: microwave, grill and microwave + grill. They can be used individually or combined. I'll tell you more about the capabilities of each mode:
- Microwaves allow cooking cereals, soups, vegetables, and meat. The same mode is used for defrosting and 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 shorten the grilling time. It allows you to cook food using the heating element and microwaves at the same time or alternately. Combination mode is used for cooking large cuts of meat or fish and casseroles. It is best to grill small pieces only on the grill setting. If you use the programs one after another, you can use them one by one to quickly cook the food with microwaves and then brown it under the grill.
Control
The microwave oven is controlled by an electronic panel. According to the manufacturer, the panel itself is touch-sensitive, but in practice it is half-touch - you need to press the buttons. They are not very convenient: you need to press in the very center before the sound signal. Due to the flat surface, the panel itself is easy to clean from grease and other contaminants, which cannot be said about a conventional keypad like the Gorenje MMO20DEI or Sharp R-6852RK. It's easy to understand the settings if you read the instructions.
