When it comes to the MY25 Torino, Akuna and Jabiru van motorhomes, we are excited to offer a 31L convection microwave oven as a standard feature. Unlike traditional microwaves, this advanced appliance provides four distinct cooking methods—steaming, baking, grilling, and microwaving—ensuring that all meals are prepared or reheated to perfection every time. This multi-functional capability allows for a combination of cooking methods, saving time without compromising the taste, texture, or nutritional value of the food.
The inclusion of this convection microwave oven is made possible by our innovative 48V electrical system, enhanced with increased lithium battery capacity. This efficient power system sets us apart from conversions that use a 12V system, offering only a basic microwave.
Here are some key features and benefits of the 31L convection microwave oven:
- Versatile Cooking Options: With 1300W of power, this is Panasonic's most powerful steam oven to date. It supports a wide range of cooking methods, allowing you to easily steam fish and vegetables, bake brownies, grill chicken wings, or microwave leftovers.
- Two-Level Design: The oven’s two-level design promotes healthier cooking by allowing you to cook different items simultaneously, such as fish on one level and vegetables on the other. More ability to get creative!
- Efficient Steam Cooking: Equipped with an 800ml water tank and dual steam outlets, this oven ensures that your food is cooked quickly and evenly, making for versatile and healthy meals.
- Generous Capacity: The 31L capacity is achieved through an innovative flatbed design, which eliminates the need for a traditional turntable. This design accommodates larger, rectangular cookware, making meal preparation easier.
- Convenient and Clean: The stainless steel interior and Auto Cleaning programs make maintenance a breeze. The oven's clever design reduces the surfaces where food splatter can settle, and the exterior, free of buttons and knobs, is easy to clean.
- Auto Programs: The oven features 36 unique Auto Programs for popular dishes, offering time-saving convenience. The Auto Menu optimizes cooking times for a variety of meals, including baked bread rolls, frozen pizzas, roast beef, grilled chicken, and steamed whole fish.
- Temperature Range and Power: The oven operates within a temperature range of 30 - 230 degrees, similar to a traditional oven, and boasts 1000W microwave power and 1300W grilling power.
- Comprehensive Accessories: It comes with an enamel shelf, wire shelf, and grill tray, enhancing its versatility.
In TRAKKA's van conversions, we have strategically designed the convection microwave oven to fit under the kitchen bench, right beneath the dual induction cooktop. This placement ensures easy access and convenience when placing food in and out of the oven. It is also ideally located near, providing seamless efficiency when cooking with the cooktop and utilising the sink lid as additional bench space during meal preparation.
By offering this advanced convection microwave oven as standard, we are ensuring that any MY25 TRAKKA van motorhome is equipped with the latest in cooking technology, enhancing the culinary experience on the road. Plus, there's no need to carry another fuel source like gas, as the oven's functionality eliminates the need for gas bottles.
We've been testing the unit with some delicious results, including parmesan crusted roast potatoes, lamb kofta, one-pan lasagna with béchamel sauce (it was sensational) and steamed vegetables. Have a look at some fun examples below - we sense there's another TRAKKA cooking series on the way!
