This is really good!

Isn't the progress of cooking appliances so great?The microwave can be heated in an oven or steam, and the technology is enriching our food, such as changing the cooking method for different types of rice type.That's why you will be buying.

However, the end of this linear evolution is eventually a specification game.A full -spec model that can do this and a middle range that reduces functions and prices is such a development.And for many people, the strongest model is unrelated.

Panasonic is trying to change the direction of evolution.It is not a linear evolution as before, but three -dimensional evolution.A fairly revolutionary style in cooking appliances is about to be born.

From full specifications to My Specs

This time, two cooking appliances were IoT-compatible IH rice cookers "Rice & Cooker (SR-UNX101)" and IoT compatible oven-range "Bistro (NE-UBS5A)".

What they have in common is that they can be customized to their own specifications by subtracting from the full specifications.As with any home appliances, even if you buy a full -spec model, the functions you use are limited after all.So isn't the function you don't use?Isn't it okay to cut it?

It was these two models that did that.The password is "From full specifications to My Specs."In cooperation with the Panasonic app "Kitchen Pocket", the functions and designs of the main unit were simply compiled by adding the necessary functions when needed.This is not something you can do!

Because it is a rice cooker with a strong interior element, it is simple

Let's start with the rice cooker "Rice & Cooker".In the first place, it is a rice cooker, but while the manufacturer is particular about cooking, users may focus on design and size rather than taste.There are some stories around me that I bought a rice cooker not only for taste but also for design.

In the case of Panasonic's full -spec rice cooker, 430 types of cooking can be cooked.But it is the fact that you don't use it so much.The "Rice & Cooker" has 25 other cooked courses in the app, and the functions are simply summarized by installing three of them on the "Rice & Cooker" body.

For example, if you usually cook unwashed rice, but sometimes cook rice, register such a course, and if you say "white rice is the main and soft rice for babies is necessary", you can use such a course.。Yes, these customs are My Specs.

Therefore, the design of the main unit was completely simple.There is no physical button, all touch operation.Since the text is also emitted by light, it is a minimum that even characters are not usually displayed.It is easy to clean because it has a flat design.The cooking performance is cooked by large firepower IH, which is as good as the flagship.

In recent years, it is not unusual to cook non -rice, such as soups and boiled dishes with rice cookers.It also supports such cooking recipes, so you can check and operate recipes through the app.The program dedicated to cooking recipes is different from normal rice, so it can be cooked more deliciously.The cooking time is also different from cooking rice.

This is a vegetable soup with beans cooked according to the recipe.This is the finish just by putting the ingredients and seasonings written in the recipe and starting cooking rice.By the way, the inside of the rice cooker is also flat, so it is very easy to clean.This is sober.If the rice falls here, it is troublesome ...

I want a delicious rice cooker, but the strongest model costs hundreds of thousands of yen.I also want to make the design shy."Rice & cooker" fulfilled such a request.A My Spec rice cooker that allows you to change the way you cook according to the family structure and life stage.It's too new.

A true microwave oven with expandability

Next, let's look at the microwave oven "Bistro".Recent microwave ovens, including Sharp Helsio, are becoming a versatile machine that controls the kitchen.But are you using all the prepared functions, or is it a necessary function in the first place?The My Spec specification ends the problem that is swayed by the function.

Look, this amount of information is small!The main unit only has a select & push dial and a cancellation button.It is completely different from a common microwave oven, such as oven, range, and thawing.I really like this simplicity.

To warm up normally, turn the dial to select a range and set the wattage and time."Bistro" allows you to arrange this menu item via the app, and you can install your favorite settings on the main unit side.

For example, let's say you chose a French toast from the app.The recipe is displayed, so you can follow the procedure.

Something like this.The dish used in this photo is called "Steam Pot" sold separately.Rather than bundled with these optional dishes, it is a way to buy it when you want to try a dish that requires an optional dish.There is expandability.

After preparing the ingredients, select the sending from the app at the end.Now the "bistro" side enters the mode of cooking the French toast.In the case of a microwave oven so far, it was common to operate the dial of the main unit to search for recipes and proceed to cooking, but it is done by searching and selecting in the app.Only the last cooking start needs to press the start button on the main unit (it seems impossible to turn on the app due to law).

Cooking is over.When you open the steam pot ...

Oh, oh, so!

The other side is firmly grilled.If you make it in a frying pan, you may be scorched, and in the case of microwave cooking, it is far from going to the French toast cooking mode, and it is really good to be able to make it so far with the app.So, the menu you like in this way can be registered on the main body side.Up to 10 menus can be registered.

It is a list of dishes that can be made with "bistro".Pizza, fried food, yakisoba, 80 % of eggs, etc.It is not unusual as a microwave cooking thing, but for example, people who do not make pizza -made items do not need pizza items on the microwave.You can do such a custom.

Conversely, if you find a menu you want to make every day, such as such a breakfast recipe, you can register on the microwave.You can register not only the menu, but also a warm setting such as 600W12 minutes, so if you register the frozen rice thawing time, it will be one button.Convenient~.

アプリに掲載されるレシピは随時アップデート予定。他企業とのコラボメニューもあり、食のセレクトショップ｢DEAN & DELUCA｣監修のメニューなどもあります。家庭的なレシピからちょっと凝ったモノまで、アプリを見て料理欲がそそられたらチャレンジしてみると良いかも。

Renewal of meal tasks with kitchen appliances

The difference between the high -performance cooking appliances and the "rice & cooker" and "bistro" this time is that the user has the initiative in home appliances.Such elements, such as the dossiri appearance and the characters written in Bissiri, have a strong presence.There is pressure or a high -grade home appliance.

"Rice & cooker" and "bistro" are revolutionary designs that can be done but do not feel presence.Behind this is that there is a need for home appliances that are more close to personal, such as diversification of living and increased home time.

And it is an app linkage.The basic body function is simplified, and if you find the necessary functions and recipes, we will update the main unit with the app each time.Is this one of the ideal forms of IoT home appliances?Collecting databases into apps creates physical smartness and improves UX.I have to use the app as a reaction = I choose a person in a sense, but I think it is amazing that a large company, Panasonic, pushed it through.

だってこんなに美味しそうな食事が、ほったらかしで作れちゃったんですから。上は先ほどのフレンチトーストで、左右はDEAN & DELUCAが監修したアボカドのライムスープと、豚肉のポルペッティーニ。｢初めて作ったけど超美味しい！｣と感動したなら、そのレシピを本体側に残しておけば、次からはもっとラクに作れちゃうわけです。もちろんめちゃウマでした。

"Rice & Cooker" costs 45,000 yen."Bistro" is an estimated market price of 65,000 yen, optional grilled dishes are the manufacturer's suggested retail price of 5500 yen, and the steam pot costs 6600 yen.Both are scheduled to be released on September 1, 2021.

Good design, good function, and good price.There are until you are satisfied even if you buy it only by design.My specs, not full specs.This direction may cause a whirlwind of cooking appliances.
