Very good except for incorrect convection oven temp
4/5
I’ve only had this a few days and so far it’s generally working well. The auto features are awesome......perfect jacket potato’s in 15mins :)
Before purchasing I was aware from reviews here that the convection oven was likely to be troublesome and having done a lot of baking recently (oh the joys of lockdown.....) was keen to try it out, so I conducted a few temperature experiments first using my old fashioned cooking thermometer.
I found that the temperature thermostat regulation for this machine is out by some 30C. A 150C setting gives an actual oven temp of 180C.
Add to this the fact that as this is a fan oven, and further adjustments need to be made to compensate for conventional oven temperatures (as given in most recipes).
So......I now know that if I want to bake at a conventional 180C I need to set the oven setting of this machine to 130C. That’s 130 + 30 (for the machine thermostat error) + 20 (for the conversion to fan oven).
This would explain the frequent complaints about burnt cakes etc.......
Panasonic please note !!
