The right appliance for every taste: Sharp presents its highquality microwave range at the IFA
Apple cake in 27 minutes just one of numerous benefits of the modern generation of microwave ovens from Sharp. These innovative kitchen aids have an appropriate menu for almost every type of food. Each of the ten models in the high-quality microwave range is user-friendly and packed with a large number of practical features. Sharp therefore brings ease of use and major time savings to the kitchen. Berlin, IFA 2008. Vitamin-rich broccoli florets or a crispy salami pizza the versatile microwaves from Sharp can handle almost any preparation method. Up to 18 different cook and defrost menus prepare the food automatically and quickly. The appliances also boast advanced design and high performance features. What a performer: the largest Sharp model is the R-93ST-A large-size combination microwave. It features an elegant stainless steel housing, and its stainless steel 40-litre oven can even replace a conventional oven. Thanks to its integral 1450-watt hot-air function, the R-93ST can be preheated exactly like a conventional oven. A choice of ten temperature settings from 40 to 250 degrees Celsius is available. With a high 900-watt microwave output, 1300-watt quartz grill, 10 automatic express cook and defrost menus, 7 automatic cook and reheat menus and an automatic cake menu, this 3-in-1 appliance is a real all-rounder. Setting the automatic menus is extremely easy. After selecting the menu, the user merely has to enter the weight of the food and start the oven. The R-93ST-A automatically selects the appropriate mode and the necessary power level. The clearly legible LCD panel then shows the required cooking time. The R-939 IN with its metallic silver look also comes with the same convenient features. 4-in-1: the 26-litre R-899 IN and R-879 IN combination microwaves cleverly bring together a microwave, hot-air oven, quartz grill (top) and infrared grill (bottom) in a single appliance. The quartz grill integrated in the oven ceiling offers a grill output of 1200 watts, while the infrared grill below the rotating plate delivers 600 watts of power. The microwave function can be combined with the other modes to save cooking time and energy. All modes, whether solo or in combination, can also be set manually. A particularly practical feature is the Express Pizza button. This beats even the fastest pizza service in town. It ensures that frozen pizzas up to 400 g are crispy and brown on the outside but remain soft and succulent on the inside. And all that in no more than 5 minutes.
