1. Introduction:
As the saying goes, people take food as the sky, in order to enjoy the fun of cooking, microwave ovens, ovens, electric cookers, and fryers were purchased one by one, except for microwave hot dishes and hot milk, the other utilization rates are not high, it is really enough to suffocate, and the space in the kitchen is also occupied less and less.
Later, it was found that there was a micro-steaming oven all-in-one cooking artifact, which set up microwave ovens, steamers, ovens, air fryers in one of the products, not only multi-functional, but also made of simple, delicious, convenient, no need to worry about the heat, no open flame cooking, do not have to stay aside, very suitable for novices and lazy people.
The hardcover new house was delivered, and after adding a lot of household appliances one after another, the house was finally ready to move in, but there was no gas for a long time, and eating a good meal became a problem. In order to enjoy the fun of cooking and improve the success rate of the finished food even when there is no open flame, I decided to buy a micro-steaming and baking machine as soon as possible.
There are still many brands on the market that do micro-steaming and baking all-in-one machines, and finally according to the brand strength and product hot evaluation list, I chose Yidunpu's Q3 Pro micro-steaming and baking all-in-one machine.
Yidunpu is an United States home appliance brand with a history of 62 years, focusing on smart kitchen appliances and high-end water purification. I've bought the brand's silent wall breaker before, and the experience is very good.
This Q3 Pro is upgraded from Yidunpu's popular flagship product Q3 this year, and the performance and other aspects have been improved. Let's share the culinary experience brought by my kitchen's new cooking artifact, the Q3 Pro micro-steaming and baking machine.
2. Appearance:
To say that now kitchen appliances have no good looks, and they are not even interested in cooking, embedded kitchen appliances have a natural advantage in terms of appearance and regularity. Compared with the previous air fryer, induction cooker, steamer, and oven, it will take up a lot of space when placed on the countertop; If you put it away, you need to carry it back and forth, which is very inconvenient. Now with the Yidupu Q3 Pro micro-steaming and baking machine, which is directly embedded in the cabinet, the kitchen becomes more tidy and reduces the possibility of the machine being idle.
It has a huge visible transparent window on the front, and the glossy tempered glass is matched with a brushed aluminum alloy handle, which is simple and atmospheric, and also highlights a sense of light luxury.
Q3 ProThe control area is all integrated in the upper part of the all-in-one machine,11.3Inch large high-definition color smart screen,Full of science and technology。 The screen also supports touch operation.
As a well-functioning all-in-one machine, the Q3 Pro supports steaming, roasting, and microwave cooking methods, and expands the combination of dual fan oven micro steaming/double air stove steaming and roasting/compound micro roasting through dual fan and compound micro-stacking technology to meet different cooking needs.
At the same time, it also comes with 42 automatic recipes and 150 electronic recipes, covering Chinese and Western dishes. There is no need to manually set the temperature and time, just put the prepared ingredients in the cavity, and then adjust to the corresponding serial number to automatically complete all the cooking process, which is also very convenient for the elderly and children to use.
The "Automatic Recipe" sticker at the top left of the panel can also allow family members to quickly query after leaving the manual and the attached physical recipe, which is very convenient.
At the top right of the panel is a 1-liter large-capacity steam water tank, which can be steamed for a long time without adding water halfway. The machine uses direct steam injection, so that even the continuous steaming of multiple dishes, or the healthy stew for nearly an hour, can be perfectly supported.
The one-button pop-up design makes it more convenient to use the feature of adding water at any time.
The door panel is double-insulated, and the handle can be used bare-handed, even during the baking process at the highest temperatures, which is very useful for families with small children.
Open the front panel, you can see a complete circle of sealing silicone pads around the door frame, so that the built-in micro-steaming and baking machine does not leak heat and steam when working, ensuring the heat and taste of the food. At the same time, you can feel the precise control of the hinge force. This precision allows the pull-down door to stop at any desired angle within 90 degrees, not afraid of smashing down when opening the door, and can also be used as a makeshift worktop before and after cooking, freeing up your hands.
The 44L large volume design of the inner cavity, a total of 3 layers of shelves, can bake 2 10-inch chiffon cakes or more than 40 chicken wings or 3~5 steamed dishes at a time, this set of configuration is more than enough to meet the needs of a large family gathering.
Yidunpu Q3 Pro micro steaming and baking machine adopts upper and lower heating pipes + back heating pipes, the upper tube is stainless steel M-type heating tube, and the lower tube and back are stainless steel hidden paper clip pipes, which can achieve four-dimensional three-dimensional heating. Equipped with two high-speed hot air fans, the dual-drive dual-air stove design provides stronger air flow capacity for steam and baking functions, making the temperature in the oven more uniform and the multi-layer baking effect is also more ideal.
The Q3 Pro's one-piece seamless inner chamber is all blue flow lang ceramic oil coated liners. The ceramic oil coating is also used in the wall breaker I bought before, this material is resistant to high temperatures, and also has the characteristics of wear resistance, not easy to scratch, easy to clean, and more importantly, it is also an edible grade material, so you don't have to worry about the coating peeling off and the release of harmful substances.
Other attachments. The Q3 Pro comes with a three-piece steaming pan, including a stainless steel steaming tray for steaming, a baking tray with a non-stick blue enamel ceramic oil coating and oleophobic stripes, and a steaming grill for air frying and other functions. However, it should be noted that these metal discs cannot be put into the microwave operation.
The extra insulated gloves and cleaning kit are given, which makes the performance more user-friendly.
3. Yidun Pu Q3 Pro Micro Steaming and Baking All-in-one Machine Food Sharing:
Steam cooking
1. Steamed sea bass:
Steaming is a very healthy cooking method, and when steaming a dish, the food loses less nutrients than other cooking methods. If it is a dish such as river fresh or seafood, steaming can preserve the umami of the raw materials.
Steamed sea bass is one of my favorite dishes. The meat of sea bass is tender and rich in vitamins and proteins, making it ideal for steaming. For fresh sea bass, you only need to add green onions, ginger, cooking wine, salt, marinate for 20 minutes, and then steam.
Before I didn't use the all-in-one machine, due to the size limitation of my steamer, I needed to remove the head and tail before steaming the fish, which affected the integrity of the fish body after cooking. Now with the large-volume Yidunpu Q3 Pro, steamed fish or a whole pot of crabs and prawns can be put down, and the shape and taste are all holdable.
Generally, the traditional steamer is put into the pot with cold water, and it is necessary to wait slowly for the steam in the pot, which is particularly inefficient. The steaming function of Yidupu Q3 Pro can choose the maximum 2800W, 150°C steam, at this time, the high-temperature steam is driven by the high speed of the double wind furnace, and the three-dimensional and uniform diffusion is spread to the entire furnace cavity, and only 18s of surging steam can evenly wrap the ingredients at 720°, firmly locking the original taste of the ingredients.
The menu design of the Q3 Pro is very good, the interaction is simple and intuitive, and the food recipes and menu information can be easily and intuitively understood, which is much more convenient than the illustration of many products. Select the smart menu C05 steamed fish program, and the machine will automatically start cooking, and I don't need to be by my side all the time, which is particularly worry-free.
When cooking is over, there will be a sound prompt. Finally, add a little shredded green onion and ginger, drizzle with steamed fish soy sauce and hot oil and remove from the pan.
Thanks to the Q3 Pro's uniform and surging high-temperature steam, all parts of the whole fish can ensure a fresh and tender taste, and the cooking is very uniform, not like some single-hole or two-hole embedded micro-steaming ovens. At the same time, the meat of the finished product is more tender and juicy, which greatly increases the appetite.
In the past, when the steamer was used, because the steam was very large, it was easy for the cabinet to be eroded by the steam and cause deformation. In order to avoid such problems, the Yidupu Q3 Pro micro-steaming and baking machine is designed with steam condensation technology, which does not directly discharge high-temperature steam to the outside world, but is processed by multiple cooling, condensation and release procedures, and then discharged in front. At this time, the temperature of the steam is not so high, it will not burn people, and it will not affect the cabinet, and it will really be durable.
2. Steamed shrimp vermicelli
The preparation of this dish is very simple, but mastering the heat is a difficult one. But with the Q3 Pro all-in-one, that's not a problem.
Thaw and rinse the shrimp naturally, add a little cooking wine and pepper, mix well and marinate for 10 minutes, while putting the vermicelli in hot water to soak until soft. Afterwards, spread the soaked vermicelli on the bottom of the plate and serve with the shrimp, adding some enoki mushrooms and minced garlic for a richer taste.
A large amount of fine steam can quickly wrap the ingredients and steam the shrimp quickly, which is much more efficient than the traditional steamer, which needs to boil the water before starting steaming. The temperature and humidity control is also much better than that of a large steamer, so you don't have to worry about the temperature being insufficient, resulting in half-baked.
In addition, it also has a very important point is that the temperature control is accurate, the steam can be adjusted at 5 °C, and the steam temperature of 150 °C breaks through the upper limit of 100 °C in the traditional steamer, which can better lock the freshness of the seafood in a short time.
In about 10 minutes, you can take it out and arrange it, drizzle it with steamed fish soy sauce while it is hot, and a delicious steamed shrimp vermicelli is complete.
The most obvious thing about using the Q3 Pro all-in-one for this dish is that the taste is more tender, and the time spent is almost halved
Bake Cooking:
3. Grilled fan bones/lamb chops:
Most micro-steaming and baking machines are single-fan configurations that can only rotate in one direction, and when the cooking ingredients are relatively large or relatively large, it is easy to cause uneven coloring or even half of the cooking. In order to solve this problem, the Q3pro is equipped with dual fans in the inner cavity, which rotate against each other when working, so that the temperature rises quickly and the temperature is more uniform without preheating, and the back heat pipe is used to make baking more professional. Especially in the process of processing multiple layers of ingredients at the same time, it is ensured that each layer and each side receives about the same amount of heat.
This machine is also equipped with dual NTC precision detection sensors, with AI chip dynamic compensation algorithm, the purpose is to precision temperature control, intelligent real-time temperature control, to ensure that the temperature amplitude fluctuation of the furnace chamber is smaller. The roasting is 10°C as the first level of temperature adjustment, and the 4R hot air evenly covers the surface of the ingredients, filling the entire cavity evenly and quickly with heat energy, and the temperature can rise to 200°C in 5 minutes.
At the same time, I can also press and hold the [Bake] button for 2 seconds to turn on the steam function when grilling. The steam is rapidly vaporized into superheated steam at a high temperature of 230°C in the furnace cavity, and with the help of the double air furnace, it quickly locks in the gravy, defatting and reducing salt, and the taste is as crispy as a professional oven on the inside.
With these special skills, I can quickly lock in the moisture in the fan bones and make them more tender without preheating, and then use the high-temperature quick roast to force out the fat in the meat, so that the grilled fan bones are juicy and have a unique grilling aroma.
The same method of making grilled lamb chops is just as outstanding.
4. Egg tart & bread:
Driven by the hot air circulation of the dual fans, the upper and lower roasting can be set up and down, the upper and lower roasting, the upper and lower roasting, hot air roasting, and the upper tube to the lower tube can be set according to the characteristics and requirements of different ingredients. For baking enthusiasts, this technology can simulate the effects of a commercial oven, such as heavily colored baked goods, and the heat can be turned up to make the Maillard reaction of the surface color more beautiful.
The child is very fond of eating egg tarts, and he happened to try them out and make them once. For frozen tart skin, because of the metal material outside, the traditional microwave oven can not be thawed, at this time you can use its thawing function, the temperature is about 55 °C when thawing, and there will be no damage to the ingredients, and the tart skin can be separated after 10 minutes, and then the tart liquid can be added.
I have 15 egg tart skins left, but judging from the margin of the baking tray, Yidunpu Q3 Pro can put 20 (5 * 4 rows) egg tarts at a time, which is completely enough for families of more than 6 people to eat.
The built-in F12 program of the Q3 Pro is an egg tart, and the one-button operation is very fast. 4R hot air, 720° three-dimensional heating, dual NTC+AI temperature probes, precise electronic temperature control system, reasonable to avoid uneven heating, a whole box of egg tarts coloring and quality are very good, and will not be different due to the corners of the all-in-one machine.
Whether the egg tart is good or not depends mainly on whether the skin is crispy and whether the egg tart liquid is smooth and tender. The finished product is smooth and sweet, the liquid heart skin is caramelized very fully, and it is not completely charred and bitter, with a crispy skin, with milk and black tea, the whole family's afternoon tea is available.
After that, we also baked the bread. The toast embryo is set to a fermentation temperature of about 38°C, and fermented until it is full. After that, bake at 180°C for about 30 minutes. In the second half of the year, you can also pay attention to the coloring, and if you want to light the color, you can also stop early.
This fluffy and golden bread is absolutely as good as a professional oven.
F16 croissant program, 160°C, bake for 20 minutes. In the middle, I also tried the steam baking function, long press the baking button, you can spray water vapor, so that the baked bread can replenish moisture, without opening the door to avoid heat loss, and can make the bread softer.
Air Frying Cooking:
5. French fries:
The Yidupu Q3 Pro micro-steaming and baking all-in-one machine also has the capacity of an air fryer. Usually the baby wants to eat french fries, the method of frying is too troublesome and unhealthy, then try its air frying method, air frying can release excess fat, healthy and delicious, the most important thing is that the method is much simpler than traditional frying.
In addition, the Q3 Pro's three-dimensional circulation 4R hot air crispy frying feature allows the entire plate of fries to enjoy the same heating treatment even if I don't have to turn it manually.
The fries with the exact same taste as McDonald's fried fries are much more affordable than those bought outside, and they are healthy and delicious without the soaking of fat.
Microwave cooking:
Yidupu Q3 Pro micro-steaming and baking machine adopts vector frequency conversion magnetron microwave, its microwave power reaches 1000w, 10 levels of frequency conversion heating, easily meet the microwave gear required by different ingredients. For example, meals can be reheated, thawed, stewed, and slow-cooked, and you can easily control them by simply selecting the corresponding gear for different needs. At the same time, variable frequency microwave is different from simple microwave heating, microwave energy can be reflected in three dimensions, deeply penetrate the ingredients, and there is no problem in heating two ingredients at the same time.
Here I did a small test with water and milk, and I can see that the boiling rhythm of the two glasses of water is very similar, and the water temperature can be quickly heated from 16°C to boiling in the high heat 2-minute heating test. With such performance, hot dishes no longer need to be heated one by one, and the heating of larger volume ingredients will also be more evenly heated, and the practicality will be greater!
6. Garlic eggplant
I've never used a microwave oven to make garlic eggplant before, but this time I saw the good microwave cooking effect of the Q3 Pro and decided to try it with the microwave function. Cut the long eggplant four times in the middle and two more horizontally, so that the seasoning will be more flavorful. Cooking this dish in a regular pot takes 10-15 minutes to steam, and with an efficient microwave, the eggplant is already soft and glutinous after only 5 minutes on medium-high heat.
Then drizzle with the prepared sauce (green onion, ginger, garlic, light soy sauce, oyster sauce, salt, pepper) and cook on medium-high heat for 4 minutes. The large front panel of the Q3 Pro can also be used as a temporary console when opened, which is really convenient for this kind of intermittent operation.
Finally, sprinkle with chopped green onion and spicy millet and you're done. With the high efficiency of Yidupu Q3 Pro inverter microwave, the cooking process of this dish is half the time compared to ordinary pots, and the appearance and taste are also perfect!
4. Cleaning after cooking:
After enjoying the food, it is also quite troublesome to clean up the "battlefield" after cooking. Compared with stainless steel, this material has stronger heat resistance, acid resistance, and corrosion resistance Edible, it also has a great feature, that is, it is very easy to clean.
Every time after cooking, if any soup or grease is spilled on the surface of the inner tank, I just need to wipe it off with the included cleaning sponge.
In addition, there will be residual water after the use of the traditional steamer, which also contains the grease of the ingredients, if not treated in time, it is easy to breed bacteria and cause odor in the inner cavity. The Q3 Pro also has a patented fresh water vapor technology, which can automatically drain the residual water, and solve the problem of bacteria growing in the residual water at one time. After that, wipe the bottom sink and wipe it.
For the same blue liulang ceramic oil material baking tray, it is also washed with water and then gently wiped to clean, which is very convenient to clean.
5. Summary:
After a few days of cooking without gas, Yidun Pu Q3 Pro micro steaming and baking machine is really a great achievement. It has a dual-drive dual-air stove, 4R hot air, which not only has additional additions to the steaming and baking functions, but also brings superheated steam to the roasting/micro-baking, making many difficult cooking methods easier; The patented technology of integrated blue liulang ceramic oil liner and fresh water vapor also makes follow-up cleaning no longer a trouble.
In general, the functional performance and user experience of this product are satisfactory, and it is very suitable for those who like to cook by themselves, have certain requirements for cooking quality, and want to integrate kitchen appliances to make the kitchen more technological and beautiful.
