BRAVA 21 PRINTER REVIEW FULL

The meat typically goes in zone 1, while you can put the veggies in 2 and 3. The trays are designed specifically for the Brava with zones 1, 2, or 3 indicated on them. Instead, youРІР‚в„ўll insert a metal or glass tray in either position, depending on the recipe. Inside the cooking compartment (6.4 by 13 by 12.5 inches) are two slots for upper and lower tray placement. None is truly a substitute for opening the door and taking a gander yourself.

That means at any given moment, you could be looking at a black box, or your chicken bathed in a sepia tone, or a more true-to-life white light. The touchscreen features a view of the fisheye camera, and you get flashes of images as the bulbs turn off, turn on, and change intensity. What goes on inside is just as mysterious. Perhaps itРІР‚в„ўs the silver, windowless exterior that reminds us of a centrifuge. Roughly equivalent to having a countertop microwave, size-wise (11.3 by 14.1 by 16.7 inches), the Brava looks more like it belongs in the lab than the kitchen. Using six lamps, preprogrammed recipes, and a temperature probe, the Brava is supposed to cook everything to perfection, eliminating any guesswork from the user. The Brava replaces the traditional oven glass door with a camera, so you can keep track of your food as it cooks. While we were prepping some chicken for the Brava, we were listening to Samin Nosrat (author of Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat) on Fresh Air talk about how inconsistent ovens are, so cooks have to use their senses to ensure everythingРІР‚в„ўs browning properly.

Tap, the ovenРІР‚в„ўs screen, follow the instructions, wait about 20 minutes, and you have a full meal ready for your tummy. It uses light bulbs to cook food, after all. The Brava oven ($995) is frequently compared to an Easy Bake oven.
