Steam in a Microwave?

Well yes, that is exactly what Sharp offers its valued customers.

As surprising as it seems, the SuperSteam technology from Sharp is unique, in that it uses convection heating that browns your baked foods but at the same time the steam ensures that they moisture is not lost completely from the food too.

This was you just the great looks of a perfectly browned cake while retaining the juicy sensations within.

It is just an amazing revolution in the area of home cooking.

Other Features

While the SuperSteam does hog all the limelight in this model, it is not the only thing about this model.

It also has a regular microwave feature that offers quick cooking solutions.

The 1.1 cu.ft.capacity with 700W power is ample enough to support most household needs.

Besides, with other solutions like the Convection and Steam, you may not really have to rely on plain microwave for most of your needs.

Unlike other models and brands, AX-1200 gives you multiple options to cook a dish and you can pick the mot healthy option.

The convection mode operates between 100°F and 450°F range.

The steam assistance ensures that the moisture in the food is not lost completely.

The LCD display and easy to use control panel means that you need not be overwhelmed by all these new features.

The control panel is intuitive enough to give you the best solution you are looking for.

Automatic Cooking Options

Like any modern microwave, the AX-1200 also comes with a host of one touch or automatic cooking options.

SuperSteam Convection:

This mode is ideal for balanced meals, poultry, meats, sea food, vegetables and pizza. Typically, things where you could lose moisture, you must use the SuperSteam convection mode.
Steam Model:

Plain steam mode is ideal for steaming foods like vegetables, fish and poached eggs.
Reheating:

These are standard solutions like in any new microwave. The best part though is that you can let the microwave determine the optimum reheating duration based on the steam sensor or set it manually.
Defrosting:

This mode is perfect for frozen foods and Sharp AX-1200 comes with automatic defrost option.
Manual Options:

You can also configure all the above mentioned modes to function manually too. Most times, as you get more comfortable with this microwave, you may prefer to customise the cooking options to suit your style, this is when the manual support becomes so useful.

Cleaning & Maintenance

Sharp AX-1200 is a very special microwave, which is why if you invest in it you would want to take care of it for a long time.

One of the biggest problems with microwaves is the inner cavity can get really messed up with constant use.

With food splashing all over the place and all kinds of food being cooked, you could end up with ugly smell and even a dirty cavity.

Fortunately, this microwave comes with a Steam Clean cycle that will get rid of even the most stubborn grime and food stuff.

Besides, regular cleaning would ensure that your microwave does not attract bad smell.

Is it the perfect microwave?

Despite all its great features, there are some obvious drawbacks in the microwave.

One of the most evident one is the lack of a spinning wheel – so you need to keep stirring food around to ensure uniform cooking.

The microwave does keep pointing that out which can become a bit annoying sometimes.

The other problem that was commonly faced with this microwave is the power levels.

While 700W may seem sufficient for most people, those who are used to higher powers may find this a little less and hence the cooking times taking a bit longer.

Overall, this is truly a great microwave oven to bring to your home.

It is versatile, efficient and cooks healthy foods. This is a perfect counter top as well as built-in model and can be used to suit your kitchen layout.

Available in Black (AX-1200K) and Stainless steel (AX-1200S)
