Built-in oven

[Hannz 0]

Hi KM,

The shop we went recommend us Rinnai Oven RBO-995CT. What do you think of this model? We have the budget $600-$800 and this one fall between. As mentioned in my earlier msg, we are worry the AMP for Brandt that you highly recommend. If this Rinnai Oven is not recommended, please advise us another brand where abt our budget.

Hope to hear from you soon.

Thank you.

I used to have a Sharp too. Panasonic's has inverter technology. My sis is using an LG.

Now I use it mainly for :

a) defrost (80%)

b) heat up cold milk/coffee (15%)

c) bake cake (5%)

@bepgof... Im using Panasonic's Dimension 4 - The Genius .... I think easily for the last 15 years. At that time, it was the most canggih microwave... with convection (a very very new thing)... and we had to pay premium price ... RM2,200 (thereabout). It's big, and since my wife loves to bake... an all-in-one was good. For my new condo here in SG, didnt' want to make space for an in-built oven.... and brought the unit down... still perfect!! Understand Pana has upgraded this model.... functions and dimensions nearly the same... the controls all electronic... and voice-command

250 degrees is enough. You can bake a pizza at this temperature. Baking cakes are usually at 160 degrees and cookies and muffins at 180 degrees.

It is important to get a microwave cum convection oven with a large capacity. It enables you put a muffin tin in or roast an entire chicken effortlessly. Get those at 40/42 litres capacity. Panasonic, Sharp, and LG have these sizes. Grilling is possible with these dual ovens.

Hi KM,

I need your advise on which model of built in oven to get. After reading all the posting, think you are highly recommend Brandt FE811XS1, but after discuss with my husband, we worry there will have problem as the AMP is different. Is there other brand that is similar function n price of this model? We want to get Rinnai hob n hood too. Do u think is good? we cook everyday, which model or other brand u can recommend? We want sth more economical. Hope to hear from u soon. Thanks.

this is interesting, coz this was the same reason we went the other way, the brandt model we saw was a single piece glass with it had screws on all 4 sides & the inner frame was padding were 2 pieces, the bosch on the other hand was a single paned glass & finished in single piece.

How bizarre indeed!

single piece glass from brandt? if my memory did not fail me, I am supposing is the FE811 without any self-cleaning functions??

- So far haven't seen such equipment in the market, with 2 different heat-production methods, to be "cum" together within one body.

- Microwave's heat produced by "vibrating" the H2O particles within "ready food". most for "warming up" purpose. No metal container/plate. Microwave oven's walls built with heavy metal, except for front door with some "mesh" built in between, to minimise waves from radiating out to the container.

- Convection Oven is by heating filaments at sides/top/bottom, with temp/timer controls. Some even with built in fans to blow the within temperature to be more even.... My advise is: practise make perfect.

3. feel is definitely more sturdy than tat of bosch plastic-like doors and joined parts. Brandt interior frames comes in one single piece

after following tis topic for quite awhile, have finally decided to get brandt FC842XS1 for the following reasons

1. turnspit

2. catalytic panels for easier cleaning

(last heard, panels need not necessary change annually. for home use, change once every 3 yrs is fine. of course, subjected to frequency of use too. damage is $187 inclusive of all the panels, delivery and installation from brandt.)

3. feel is definitely more sturdy than tat of bosch plastic-like doors and joined parts. Brandt interior frames comes in one single piece

Point on Bosch ecolyse technology - as heard, is catalytic panels but similar to tat of pyrolytic cleaning however at 200+ degrees only. seemingly, it will take longer time i.e more electricity

of course, I think i like to call brandt and bosch directly if possible to verify the above.

but more than happy to hear insights first from all the folks in here too. yr comments definitely welcome!

afternote: I call Brandt directly. and is confirmed - for home use, change once every 3 yrs is fine. of course, subjected to frequency of use too. the panels come in a pair @ $150. simple diy instructions on how to change
