CHICAGO, March 2, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Panasonic
announces two new microwave oven models for 2013, the Genius
NN-SN973S (2.2 cubic feet) and NN-SN773S (1.6 cubic feet)
microwaves both of which feature One-Touch Sensor Cooking and
Inverter Technology and can be built-in or placed on the
countertop. The new microwaves are currently on display at
The International Home + Housewares Show, which starts today and
runs through March 5 at McCormick
Place in Chicago. Show attendees
can visit Panasonic booth #L12505 Lakeside to see the company's
complete line of home appliances, including these new additions to
the Genius Microwave line.
The new Panasonic NN-SN973S and NN-SN773S Genius Microwaves
feature One-Touch Sensor Cook which
takes the guess work out of cooking meals in a microwave by
automatically adjusting power levels and calculating cooking time
(or reheating time with Sensor Reheat) for up to 12 different types
of food, allowing a user to cook a meal perfectly with the push of
a button. Panasonic's new 2013 microwaves and all existing
models also include the company's proprietary Inverter Technology™,
which provides constant energy flow that variably adjusts the power
intensity so food is cooked evenly. Other microwaves use 100% power
all the time, but repeatedly turn the energy on and off in lower
power settings resulting in cold spots and uneven cooking. Instead,
Panasonic's consistent and precise heat provides more control while
cooking, reheating and defrosting.
"Panasonic microwaves are changing the way people think about
cooking --- they are not just a means to reheat food anymore," said
Julie Baumann, National Marketing
Manager, Home Appliances, Panasonic Consumer Marketing Company of
North America. "Our patented Inverter Technology, gives users
opportunities to experiment more with full dishes that they can
create right in their microwave, allowing even delicate foods to be
cooked evenly and to perfection."
The Panasonic NN-SN973S and NN-SN773S Genius Microwaves also
feature Inverter Turbo Defrost™, allowing users to defrost foods
extremely fast by using a sequencing system that incorporates the
Inverter low-power delivery feature. The Keep Warm Function
provides a pulsing delivery of very low microwave power to keep
food temperatures at a constant level – without overcooking. So,
foods like stew, gravy, and desserts remain warm in the oven until
ready to serve.
Equipped with spacious interior cavities (2.2 Cu. Ft. for
NN-SN973S and 1.6 Cu. Ft for NN-SN773S) the new Genius Microwaves
allow users to cook large dishes without taking up additional
counter space. The Sleek, stainless steel exterior fits
within the decor of modern kitchens and the embossed tactile
control panel design delivers a slight resistance and enhances
feedback when pressed for quicker, more intuitive touch-sensitive
operation.
The new microwave models, both available in June 2013, will have the following suggested
retail prices: $249.95 for the
NN-SN973S and $229.95 for the
NN-SN773S. For more information on Panasonic microwaves,
