Panasonic NN-SD997S

If you are an expert microwave oven user, Panasonic NN-SD997S should complement your skills perfectly.

It is the ideal combination of user friendly features and high end attributes that will make microwave cooking simple, fast and exciting.

Everything about this unit, right from its looks to its functions is meant for grace and class.

This is a multifunctional stainless steel microwave oven with Genius Sensor and Inverter technology

Panasonic’s Inverter Technology

Typically with any microwave when you set the power levels to less than 100%, the microwave sends out pulsed signals to give an effective low power.

As a result, you are not really cooking your food at the designated low power – you are just alternating between 100% and 0%.

With Panasonic’s inverter technology, you are assured of true low power cooking as it delivers less than 100% in a consistent manner rather than in pulses.

One of the best uses of this uniform power is in defrosting. Due to the constant power, this microwave is able to defrost frozen foods a lot faster than conventional microwave.

This is something that you really need to experience to believe. More about inverter technology

Genius Sensor Technology

This is one of the cutting edge technologies fast catching up in the microwave markets.

The sensor technology basically senses the vapor content while the food is being cooked and depending on whether you are cooking or reheated, it adjusts the power and cooking time to ensure optimum cooking.

Since, vapor content is a critical part in this decision making, it is important that you do not place steaming hot contents with sensor cooking, nor cover the food as both will lead to incorrect estimates.

This microwave uses the Genius sensor technology for automatic reheating as well as for 15 different types of automatic cooking.

Even if you are new to this model, the auto cooking options offer you a wide range of dishes that you can make in no time with minimal effort.

As you get more comfortable, you can exploit these features further to perfect the art of microwave cooking.

Panasonic NN-SD997S – The Microwave

Panasonic NN-SD997S

Capacity and Power

Besides the cool features like Genius Sensor and Inverter, the NN-SD997S is a very durable and family sized microwave unit.

It has an overall capacity of 2.2 cu. ft. which is more than sufficient for a standard family as well as for small parties.

It is aptly powered by 1200W of microwave power to ensure fast cooking even with the high capacity.

Stainless Steel

The white stainless steel body means that you can wipe it clean and keep it looking new for a long time.

The fingerprint resistant coating means that regular use will not damage the looks of the microwave.

The half mirror finish on the door gives it a contemporary look, which goes well with modern themed kitchens.

LED Display

One of the more interesting and modern aspects of this microwave is the display and the menu action screen.

Unlike most other microwaves, the display screen on NN-SD997S uses a blue LED display.

This is not only easier to read, but gives the microwave a unique futuristic look.

Menu Action

Another interesting aspect about the display is the Menu Action Screen.

With the Menu Action display, thee microwave literally talks to you, guiding you through the series of steps to ensure perfect cooking.

To ensure wider customer base can use it, the display comes in English, French and Spanish.

Trim Kit

This microwave can be used as a counter top of built in oven.

For the built in setup you can also purchase accessories like the trim kit - TK-929SA and TK-939SA

Keep Warm Plus

Another interesting feature of this microwave is the keep warm function.

This microwave sends regular pulses of microwaves just enough to keep the food warm without overcooking it.

There is a thin line between serving warm food and overcooked food and with any microwave this can be easily breached.

Regardless of how good the keep warm function is, always remember to use it only for a limited time – else you risk drying your food.
