The latest cooking appliance "Water Oven" will surely lower the barrier to cooking. When editorial staff Kamiyama (a man who wants to cook for himself but can't) walks through a consumer electronics store, a certain pop catches his eye. It is said that there is a convenient home appliance that makes it easy to make a morning set just by arranging raw eggs and frozen bread. The name of the home appliance is "Healsio". It is a water oven sold by Sharp. "Mr. Yamada, you used to cook for yourself. Have you ever used Helsio?" I've lived with Helsio (2020's top model AX-XA10) for about a month, so I'd like to talk about its comfort. My cooking level is moderately good at making mapo tofu, gratin, potage, sea bream rice, furofuki daikon radish, lightly pickled Chinese cabbage, muffins, and cheesecake. I have 4 types of salt.

Healsio is a microwave oven? What is it?

I thought that Helsio was a high-performance microwave oven, but I was wrong from this perception. Modern microwave ovens have heating methods such as superheated steam and steam, but Herushio is characterized by cooking with only superheated steam. That's why I call myself Water Woven. So, this superheated steam is amazing again. Water turns into steam when the temperature exceeds 100 degrees, but if it is heated further, it turns into a colorless and transparent gas above 100 degrees. This is what it means to bake in water. The power of science is amazing... Healsio can use this superheated steam cooking method in addition to the normal microwave oven. In addition, cooking with superheated steam has health benefits such as deoiling and reducing salt, so it's delicious twice as much as it tastes and is healthy!

It's time to practice superheated steam cooking!

The point of Helsio is that you can complete cooking with just one unit. For example, while cooking frozen food or chicken on the upper shelf, you can cook hot vegetables on the lower shelf. It seems that the combination of infrared move sensor + superheated steam + temperature sensor makes it possible to heat multiple stages and separate ingredients. Unlike gas stove cooking, you don't have to stand in the kitchen, so it saves time and you don't have to worry about the heat. This is how the frozen food is fried in the upper row and the vegetables and sausage are steamed in the lower row. You can make chicken saute if you use chicken (frozen is OK) on the upper level, and tonkatsu if you use battered pork. Steamed vegetables can be seasoned with ponzu sauce, black pepper, or mayonnaise. Taking advantage of non-fried cooking, challenge fried chicken. If you make it on a gas stove, you need a lot of oil, so it's a troublesome recipe, but if you put battered chicken wings in Helsio... It's finished crispy! No, it's too delicious. Because it is not fried in oil, the surface is not soggy and crispy, and the oil from the chicken remains inside, making it incredibly juicy. I can't believe that 100g of chicken wings for about 70 yen can be such an easy feast... Helsio, you scary child! I tried the non-fried chicken skin. The amount of oil that is falling down is incredible. Of course it's crispy. I tried cooking bread + sausage + raw egg with Hershio's morning set. Normally, bread would be toasted, and eggs and sausages would be cooked on a gas stove, but with Healsio you can do it all in one go. Cooking different ingredients all at once, and with no effort, is huge. Especially if it's a busy morning. In addition to frying, most of the cooking that can be done with a gas stove, such as frying, grilling, steaming, boiling, and grilling, can be realized with Healsio. You can make fried rice by spreading the rice and seasoning it.
