LG SolarDOM: The new standard in speedy, quality cooking

In this economy, space is a luxury, time is fleeting – and the love for good food knows no bounds. It’s no surprise that for many people, a microwave is their cooking tool of choice, thanks to its compact size and quick cooking capabilities.

However, despite its convenience, some foods just won’t develop the rich, caramelised flavours that oven cooking can achieve. Picture that sad, soggy slice of pizza that once had gooey cheese and crispy crust, now turned into a bland, rubbery disappointment after a quick zap in the microwave…

Is it unreasonable to want an appliance that’s as compact as a standard microwave, yet capable of functioning as both a traditional microwave and an oven?

“The popularity of space-saving, multifunctional kitchen appliances is increasing, and the LG SolarDOM™ addresses this demand by providing the capacity to bake, grill, reheat and defrost, all in a package no larger than a standard microwave,” says Carol Guedes, HA head of sales at LG Electronics South Africa.

The advantages of using a microwave/oven combo such as the LG SolarDOM™ are plenty:

  • Saves space in the kitchen – This all-in-one appliance minimises the need for separate devices, creating more room in the kitchen for other essentials.
  • Covers all cooking methods – From delicate pastries to grilled meats, and from reheating leftovers to quickly defrosting ingredients, this versatile unit covers all cooking methods.
  • It’s a true oven with a bottom grill – Unlike standard microwaves, the SolarDOM™ functions as a true oven equipped with a bottom grill, ensuring more even cooking and browning of various dishes.
  • No preheating necessary – This appliance saves time and energy while still delivering perfectly cooked meals.
  • Larger capacity allows for bigger dishes – The spacious interior allows for preparing larger dishes, making it convenient to cook family-sized meals without the constraints of a standard microwave.

“At LG, we understand the need for quick meals, but we value quality as well. We wanted to offer our customers a solution that delivers on efficiency, but without compromising on quality,” explains Guedes. “We truly believe the SolarDOM™ is that solution.”

The unit’s charcoal lighting heater helps food heat quickly and evenly, creating a crispy outside and juicy inside. “It’s almost like popping a chop onto the braai,” says Guedes. “It also saves time and energy because no preheating is required.”

Another unique feature of the SolarDOM™ is the bottom grill. “Unlike a conventional convection product, it adds heat not only from the back but also from the bottom, making your cooking extra tasty.”

The round cavity of the SolarDOM™ helps focus energy directly on your food, making it up to 25% more efficient than a standard microwave. This helps heat your meals evenly, with no unwanted hot or cold spots that happen so often with regular microwaves. Because there are no inner corners, cleaning is also a breeze.
