In our daily life, microwave ovens can be said to be one of the most used appliances.
Mijia has recently released a smart microwave oven that supports Mijia App and Xiaoai classmates. It can remotely operate and voice control. I bought one because the family needed it. The following experience will be shared with you.
The Mijia microwave oven uses the usual white design of the Xiaomi family. The overall style is simple and generous. The door panel and control area are made of white shiny material, which has a feeling of integral molding.
The mesh design of the door panel is called “choke structure”. Not only presents a three-dimensional effect visually, but it is also said to have a role of shielding microwaves (it allows electromagnetic waves to rebound at the cavity door and reduce damage to the human body). However, because it is not transparent, it is not easy to see the heating of the food inside.
From the top to the bottom of the Mijia microwave oven control area are: time display, function selection buttons, push-on knob, door lock switches.
From the top to the bottom of the Mijia microwave oven control area are: time display, function selection buttons, push-on knob, door lock switches.
The multi-function electronic knob can adjust the function mode, fire level and heating time.
The Mijia microwave oven uses a push-out switch. Press to open the door.
The general microwave oven control methods are generally divided into two types: mechanical and electronic. The mechanical type uses the knob to select the firepower and the running time, and the electronic type uses the keys to select the heating mode and time.
But the Mijia microwave oven is slightly different from the above two methods. It uses electronic firepower selection and a knob-based timing method. For example, if you want to heat food for 30 seconds on high heat. Then you must first select “High Fire” by touch, then use the knob to set the time for 30s, and finally press the knob to start heating. The entire operation process is a bit tedious, which may not be friendly to first-time users.
In terms of heating function, Mijia microwave oven adopts flat heating. No mechanical structure (ie heated turntable). The advantage of this is that the cavity is easy to clean, it is difficult to have hygienic dead corners, and the generation of odor is avoided; however, the disadvantage is that the heating speed of the food is slow and the uniformity is also lacking. However, after many times of testing, the difference in usage time is not very obvious.
At the same time, compared to mechanical turntables. The flat heating plate of the Mijia microwave oven has a larger area and is more stable when placing food.
Mijia microwave oven also has a very intimate design. When the sliding door is opened, the furnace lamp in the cavity will automatically light up, which is similar to the refrigerator lamp. Whether it is to place ingredients for heating or daily cleaning, it is a lot easier. If not operated for a period of time, the furnace light will automatically turn off.
The Mijia microwave oven has an intelligent control system. After the application is successfully connected, all functions of the control panel can be realized. Including defrost, recipes, sterilize and favorites, and opening and closing of child locks. And each function has been refined, for example, the recipes has more detailed division and specific production methods.
Mijia microwave oven system has three built-in defrost modes: meat, poultry, and seafood. We can see that the Mijia app carefully presets the weight of the ingredients and the corresponding thawing time.
The sterilize mode includes cavity sterilize and bottle disinfection. The former is to sterilize the cavity of the microwave oven; the latter is to disinfect the baby bottle.
Mijia microwave oven can also be linked with other Mijia smart home settings.
In actual life, after we put food in the microwave oven, we are used to choosing heating mode and firepower directly on the microwave oven. At this time, if you open the App to operate again, it is a bit cumbersome.
However, there are some functions that are much more convenient to operate on the APP. For example, you can remotely increase or decrease the heating time without having to go to the kitchen to adjust. You can select the recipes mode on the APP, one-click operation for food cooking, without having to switch back and forth on the microwave oven. For lazy people, this is still very humanization.
Actual use
The main purpose of daily use of a microwave oven is to heat food. But there is really nothing to experience, so I will try another use of the microwave: cooking food.
I chose roast chicken. I marinated 500g chicken in advance and wrapped it in foil.
Select the “Recipes” function of the microwave oven on the mobile phone, select the A3 mode and confirm the weight, then click start.
Mijia microwave oven is working.
Finish cooking. After tasting a piece, the taste is very good.
To sum up: the appearance and practicality of Mijia microwave ovens are well combined. The flat chassis can meet the needs of heating multiple servings at the same time. Although there is no light wave and steam function, the difference in heating efficiency is not obvious compared with the traditional mechanical turntable.
However, the price of Mijia microwave oven is slightly higher. If you only consider the function of heating food, there are lower price pure mechanical microwave ovens on the market.
However, the biggest advantage of Mijia microwave ovens is Mijia’s intelligent ecosystem. Can be part of your smart home environment. If you have a certain pursuit of quality of life, Mijia microwave oven is still worth buying.
