Recently, my friend’s kitchen renovation transformed a countertop cluttered with a microwave, oven, and air fryer into a clean and tidy space. Upon inquiry, I learned that they installed the Midea GR6 integrated steam oven.
This 55L capacity “Transformers” machine surprisingly combines five functions: microwave, steaming, baking, air frying, and stewing. My friend mentioned that the time taken to prepare three dishes and a soup is now faster than just using the oven to bake chicken wings—this piqued my curiosity.
Hot Air De-oiling Technology: Freedom to Fry Chicken is No Longer a Dream
Let’s talk about the most eye-catching “black technology”. This machine uses hot air de-oiling technology, which sounds mysterious, but its effectiveness is comparable to a fitness coach watching over your meals. Authoritative testing found that roasting 300 grams of pork belly can remove 48% of the fat, equivalent to filtering out half a bowl of oil while eating fried chicken legs.
The principle is quite clever; dual heating tubes combined with a 3D tornado-style heat circulation ensure that the fat escapes before it even reacts. The most impressive feature is the frying basket design, which allows for frying French fries without submerging them in oil, resulting in a more even crispiness. As my friend put it: “Finally, I can confidently say I’m eating healthy food.”
Five-in-One Transformer Mode
Microwave + Steaming = Quick Defrosting Wizard; throw a frozen steak in, and it’s ready to pan-sear in ten minutes; Baking + Hot Air Circulation = Professional-Grade Oven, roasting a whole chicken is three times faster than a regular oven; Steaming + Microwave = Health-Conscious Stewing, my friend demonstrated a 20-minute stew that achieved the density of a traditional soup, thanks to 120°C superheated steam penetrating the food fibers directly.
The most impressive part is that these functions can stack buffs. For example, when baking pizza, you can quickly defrost the dough with the microwave, then switch to baking mode for the cheese, saving 40% of the energy compared to traditional methods.
Dual Color Screen Operation: A Mind Reader for Kitchen Novices
Standing in front of the machine for the first time was indeed a bit overwhelming, but the two 7-inch touch screens acted like a beginner’s guide in a game. When selecting a recipe on the left, tips for ingredient handling automatically pop up on the right. The AI vision system can even recognize whether I placed cod or salmon inside.
Once, I intentionally tested it with frozen shrimp, and the machine surprisingly suggested defrosting options and three cooking modes. My friend beside me boasted: “This is what you call expert mode in foolproof operation.” I especially want to praise the real-time monitoring feature, which allows you to see the entire process of the chiffon cake rising without repeatedly opening the door.
How to Take Advantage of National Subsidies
Here comes the key point! Buying this machine now allows you to benefit from the appliance replacement policy. As a first-level energy efficiency product, you can receive a 20% purchase subsidy (up to 2000 yuan), and if you are replacing an old appliance, there’s an additional 5% discount.
Who Should Bring This Home?
After two weeks of testing, I found that this machine is particularly suitable for three types of people: first, those who are renovating a new home and want an aesthetically pleasing integrated kitchen; second, time management masters who juggle work and parenting; and third, fitness enthusiasts who want to enjoy fried chicken while controlling calories.
My friend calculated that buying a microwave, steam oven, oven, and air fryer separately would cost at least 15,000 yuan, while the GR6 can be purchased for just over 8,000 yuan with subsidies. The key is that you don’t have to worry about the workflow of “should I steam the fish first or bake the cake”—after all, being able to do both simultaneously is the ultimate secret of a modern kitchen.
