- Hey, guys.
Welcome back to another kitchen video,
where I'm gonna show you how to make healthy veggie fries
and crispy baked potatoes, get this, in a microwave.
That's right.
I've been using my Panasonic Home Chef
4-in-1 Multi-Oven Microwave to make air-fried recipes
and convection-baked meals.
Yes, I did say it's a microwave,
but it also has an air fryer,
which is what gives these veggie fries
the perfect crispy texture
by cooking them from the outside in.
I'm going to show you how to achieve
crispy baked potato skins in just a minute.
But first the veggie fries.
I've chopped up some carrots and sweet potatoes
and then seasoned them with some salt and pepper.
All I have to do is arrange the vegetables
in the air fryer basket,
which sits on top of this enamel tray.
I'm going to press that air fry/broil combo button once,
set my timer, and start.
Halfway through, we just turn the veggies,
and when the time is up, check these out.
This is one of the nicest things
that have happened to carrots and sweet potatoes.
Crispy outsides.
My kids think that these are real home fries, and no oil.
Another feature of the Panasonic Home Chef
is the flash express broiler to keep food crispy
and eliminate soggy reheating.
That's right.
You can reheat bread items without that chewy,
soggy texture.
Don't you just hate that?
Actually, tell me in the comments below,
what kinds of foods
would you like to see made in a microwave?
Now there's another feature that I've loved,
the inverter microwaving,
which eliminates those annoying hot spots
with their internal sensor.
You know, you warm up leftovers,
only to find out that the veggies are scalding hot,
the meat is cold, and the rice is warmish.
Yeah, that doesn't happen with my Panasonic microwave.
Now, you might be thinking,
what's so special about cooking a baked potato
in a microwave?
Well, there are baked potatoes,
and then there are baked potatoes
By using Panasonic's combination cooking modes
that combines microwave and convection heating,
I got perfect baked potatoes quicker
with crispy skins and fluffy potato meat.
In a regular oven,
these would have taken approximately one hour,
and with the home chef combo two setting, only 30 minutes.
This is what a baked potato looks like
when cooked in a traditional microwave setting.
And this is what it looks like with the combo cooking.
Now I've just prepped them by poking the potato with a fork
or rubbing it with a little olive oil, salt, and pepper.
The potatoes go on top of the wire rack into the oven
with the enamel tray underneath to catch any drippings.
We press the air fry/broil combo five times
to the combo two setting, set our timer, and hit start.
Once the potatoes are tender inside, you just take them out.
Check these out.
And this skin, mm, mm.
Oh my gosh.
I'm totally a potato skin person.
Mm.
I used to think that the main reason
I loved this Panasonic microwave
with the flash express broiler
is for the air-fry feature,
since that's one less appliance I need to store,
and it's the ultimate kid-friendly food maker,
but after cooking with it
and testing many recipes in the Drop Recipes app,
I've learned to love it for burgers, wings, nuggets,
cooking fish, baked casseroles,
and even defrosting meats without cooked edges,
not to mention reheating my coffee, of course.
This 4-in-1 microwave is awesome.
