For many "culinarily challenged" people a microwave can be a veritable a life saver! By some arguments there are many students, bachelors (and yes, bachelorettes) that would never eat a warm meal again if they didn’t have access to a microwave!

Even for those individuals who fall into the category of kitchen wizards, the humble microwave is something almost everyone will use on a daily basis.

Introduced almost seventy years ago 1955, you would be hard pressed to walk into almost any kitchen and not find one of these ever present devices.

The original purpose of the microwave was quite a bit different than what we know them as today. The microwaves origins originally started out as a radar technology that was built as a tool to help the British spot German warplanes in World War Two. But as many things do, the microwave soon evolved into an entirely different use, that being a cooking, warming, heating and generally the space saving appliance we all now know and love.

But thanks to the never-ending ingenuity and ambition of humans the humble microwave has now somehow evolved yet again into something even better…

A "4 in 1" microwave!

Thats right, a "4 in 1" microwave (also occasionally referred to as a "combi-microwave") refers to a microwave oven that has 4 different functions: microwave, broiling, convection baking, and air frying.

With these additional options that have now been added you have a multi purpose unit that allows the microwave to perform an even wider range of cooking tasks than ever before. Without exaggeration, this has basically transformed the microwave into something just shy of a complete multifunction oven.

Here at Kawartha TV and Stereo, we offer a 4 in 1 units from Panasonic that are spectacular units. From our own experiences using them, we have found these appliances to be invaluable assets.

Consider the air frying element. This allows you to fry pretty much anything without oil by circulating hot air around the food. So now you can enjoy fries, chicken nuggets, wings, and not only get them crispy and brown but do it faster, healthier and without the greasy aftertaste. Win win!

Moving along to convection, you can roast, bake, broil and again the Panasonic 4 in 1 goes to 425 degrees.

It also offers combination cooking which uses multiple cooking methods at the same time. Perhaps best of all it has inverter technology which helps cook the food all the way through so you don't end up with food hot spots.

So whether you are a kitchen new-by or a master chef, whether you knew it or not, stop by Kawartha TV and Stereo and check out one of Panasonics 4 in 1 microwaves!
