What We like in Cosmo COS-2413ORM1SS Microwave with Vent Fan?
Timed cooking
While examining out the several features for Cosmo COS-2413ORM1SS Review, a certain feature got our attention. The timed cooking system in this appliance was so effective and easy-to-use that we could cook any dish within a restricted time by adjusting the power level accordingly. We wanted a certain dish to be cooked in less time, so we adjusted the timer and set the power level high, and the food was ready within the estimated time.
Controllable LED lights
Another absolutely mind-blowing function that we found remarkable was that its LED lights on the surface area were easily adjustable. We could turn those lights on or off according to your wish. Also, we got to see that those LEDs’ brightness could also be altered to high or low, according to your convenience.
Easy turntable operation
We found its turntable comes with an ability to turn it on or off. First, we started by trying to spin the turntable as we put a small tray for cooking small quantities of food. Then, we changed its tray and put a larger one on the turntable with a greater amount of food. Obviously, we would need to turn that turntable off, and the Cosmo oven let us do that.
Additional 30 secs cooking
We kept the timer settings and power settings low and put some food to be cooked in this space saver over the range microwave oven. The time and power were clearly inadequate for that food to be processed fully. So, after the timer went off, we opted for its start button, which added another 30 seconds of cooking. So we could add more time additionally by opting for this function.
What We dislike?
Improper defrosting
We came to a bitter experience when we put a chunk of frozen meat in this Cosmo oven. Even after opting for all the necessary settings, we were a bit shocked to see that the meat was not really defrosted on the first go. Then we took it out and broke the chunk, and stirred it a bit before putting it back into the oven. This time it was totally defrosted.
Sparking in the oven
Another unfortunate experience was when we saw this 24-inch oven sparking a bit. We were terrified, thinking this oven was malfunctioning. But much to our relief, we discovered that there was some food spilled on its oven cavity, and we cleaned that spilled food with a damp towel immediately. We figured out that spilled food on the cavity may sometimes trigger sparking until it is cleared up.
