Panasonic’s new 3-in-1 Convection Microwave Oven provides versatile cooking convenience

One appliance to Bake, Grill or Microwave family dishes with reduced cooking time

Panasonic has launched its latest convection microwave oven that unlocks a world of versatility in the kitchen with three cooking functions – Bake, Grill and Microwave – in one appliance, and a host of efficient cooking modes. Save time and whip up tasty meals with Combination cooking, 29 Auto Menu programs, and Turbo Defrost. Cooking for the whole family has never been easier, with Junior Auto Cook Programs ensuring that even the fussiest of eaters can find a meal they enjoy.

The 27L Convection Microwave Oven (NN-CT56M) is a valuable addition to any modern kitchen with a generous capacity, space-saving design and sophisticated black finish.

Chasnyn Ousmand, Product Marketing Manager, Microwave Ovens, Panasonic Australia, said: “Convection Microwave Ovens are paving the way for the future of cooking, with energy efficiency, foolproof multifunction cooking and space saving benefits. A recent Australian survey we undertook saw 57 per cent of users say that their Convection Microwave has changed the way they cook, while 48 per cent hardly use their traditional oven after purchasing a Convection Microwave[1].”

“Our longstanding history of top performing microwaves is a result of rigorous research to understand the needs of our consumers. The NN-CT56M Convection Microwave Oven delivers on this, with impressive cooking convenience in a compact design we know users will love.”

Panasonic is renowned for its Microwave range, with a history of more than 50 years’ innovation, and is recognized as Australia’s No.1 brand. Furthermore, for the second year running, Panasonic Microwaves have received the Award for Most Satisfied Customers[2] in Canstar Blue’s survey.

Inverter Technology and Turbo Defrost delivering fresh food every time

Featuring Panasonic’s Inverter technology, the NN-CT56M cooks food evenly by distributing microwave energy gently throughout the oven cavity, resulting in perfectly cooked and nutrient-filled foods. Last minute meals are now nothing to fear, with the Panasonic Inverter Turbo Defrost technology helping defrost food more evenly while also saving valuable time.
