can see enough of Geek's products, technology and characters
The addition of intelligent temperature probes makes the maturity of steaks highly visible.

Advances in technology have made life more and more convenient, for travel, home, and office. So is there a black technology that can improve your cooking skills in an instant? Of course there are
, and there are many similar products, such as traditional cooking with fire, which has high requirements for the control of heat and water control. The emergence of rice cookers and even smart rice cookers have solved this problem.
However, these common small kitchen appliances have solved the problem of never coming to the meeting. If you want to compare with the real chef, there is still a distance.
For example, high-level steaks, even for a veteran kitchen hand, how to cook 3/5/7 maturity is very challenging. The difficulty of dealing with ingredients is also an important reason why steak shops can achieve high unit prices.
is not only a steak machine, but also has a variety of attributes:
front of the machine
Not long ago, Titanium Media received a steak machine product from Thimax/Fine Artist. The price of 3999 yuan can directly reduce the cooking difficulty of meat, especially steak, Let Xiaobai directly compare with the chef, I believe this is the issue that everyone is most concerned about. As a high-end product, this product will be analyzed separately from three aspects: design, workmanship and function.
A large number of metal materials are used.
First of all, in terms of product design, the steak machine product of the esthetician does not feel like traditional kitchen appliances at all. It has a strong metallic texture and a more technological black/silver color.
looks from the front, you can probably see its purpose from the handle and volume, but it will not be abrupt when placed in the kitchen, especially in the open kitchen layout.
top drawing process
The logo of Thimax can be seen on the top of the fuselage, with the metal drawing process on the surface, which not only ensures cleanliness and durability, but also increases the aesthetics.
The use of a large number of metal materials to adjust the opening and closing buttons
, in addition to the advantages mentioned above, also well controls the center of gravity of the product. When used in a vertical state, it will not easily close up and down. , To ensure the safety of use.
After opening the product at the bottom of the bakeware
, you can see two large bakewares with a large area on the top and bottom. The bakeware adopts a separate design, which can be disassembled and cleaned easily. At the same time, the integrated die-casting design inside also brings stronger The performance of thermal conductivity and temperature uniformity.
Separate button
during use, thanks to the application of the surface anti-stick coating, it is very convenient to clean up all kinds of oil stains. Basically, after the steak is cooked, just wait for the grill pan to cool down and wipe it with kitchen cleaning paper That is, if there is a lot of oil stains, after a simple cleaning and then wipe, the cleaning can be completed.
Use bamboo utensils to cook
But you also need to pay attention to it in use, because the coating is attached to the metal surface through processing, and the hardness of the coating itself is not high, so the kitchenware material should be selected as bamboo or silica gel in use. For the first class of products, avoid direct cooking with metal kitchenware. Because metal scratches or peels off the coating when scratching the surface of the bakeware, causing it to fail.
Double grill with different textures
There are many details in the design of this steak machine, such as the double grill with different textures, which can achieve the effect of heating at the bottom and setting the shape at the top.
180°opening and closing state
In addition, the product supports two ways of use, namely the closed state used for steak and hamburger making, and the BBQ state used for multi-person dinners. The switch button for the two modes is located at the shaft.Press to increase the maximum angle from approximately 100° to 180°.
control panel (in film state at this time, not display state)
Because the two bakeware uses exactly the same die-casting process, the internal heat conduction structure is also the same, so the temperature of the double bakeware can be kept exactly the same. It would be even better if another temperature control module could be added to the next-generation products to achieve separate control of the upper and lower temperatures.
oleophobic groove
The top of the grill pan is designed with an oleophobic groove, and the oil and water can be directly pushed into it during cooking. This detail is very good. Compared with the traditional fully enclosed structure of the grill, one is to control the fat intake of the steak. , The other is to reduce the tedious steps in cleaning. The oil collecting groove of
oil collecting trough
steak machine is located on the left side of the product. Before cooking the steak, you can put an appropriate amount of clean water in it, so as to avoid the accumulation of oil and smoke. The
intelligent temperature probe will “visualize” a bit of familiarity
temperature probe
The drawer on the bottom left of the steak machine is the place where this product can best embody the “black technology”. Here is a temperature probe. Needle, I don’t know if you have ever seen a star-Michelin chef who will insert probes into the ingredients when making all kinds of meats, as a reference index for cooking ingredients. The
manual introduces the maturity of the product
in the product manual, also in the most simple and understandable way, presents the identification of different meat maturity. For Xiao Bai, it is definitely the strongest visualization standard. In the past, steaks were made into "rubber bands" and couldn't chew. They became a tool for grinding teeth for adults. The
probe connection interface
is either afraid of too much familiarity, and as a result, the blood is flowing, hot outside, but not familiar inside. This temperature probe allows you to judge the internal temperature and make a perfect steak when you cook the steak.
The ingredients selected for
Of course, it is not based on the principle alone. It needs practice to verify whether it is really that magical. This time I chose an eye steak, which is a personal favorite part, relatively fat and thin. There are more fats, according to the saying, it tastes fleshy and has a fragrance.
Pay attention to the thickness of the steak
Also here is a reminder that because of the working principle of the temperature probe, when choosing a steak, at least it must be at least 2cm thick. Many fresh steaks in supermarkets are very thin. At this time, the role of the temperature probe cannot be played out, because it is easy to be too close to the bakeware when inserted, resulting in deviations in temperature measurement.
supports the preset
for 6 types of ingredients. It’s not difficult to cook steak. Take out a piece of butter, fully defrost the beef and treat the blood, and you can start. The steak machine of the food artist has preset gears for 6 types of ingredients. It can not only make steak, but also grill the matching vegetables, or make fish, other meats or burgers.
Compared with the previous generation of products, the actual display effect of
is that the touch panel used is more technological and the function display is more intuitive. In addition to the preset gear positions, it also provides the temperature display and timing function of the temperature probe. There is also a switch button for displaying Fahrenheit and Celsius among the buttons on the right. The details are considered more thoughtful. The temperature of
after inserting the probe shows that
mentioned earlier that its baking pan has a non-stick coating. When the steak is fried, it can be seen that the fat is gathered in droplets rather than scattered. In the steak cooking position, the default temperature of the grill pan is 230°C, and the overall heating rate is much faster than that of a normal pan. After turning on the power to select the gear, wait for 45 seconds to 1 minute for the grill pan.To use it. Put the temperature probe
into the temperature probe
when the surface of the steak has begun to change color, turn it over. After both sides are slightly burnt, you can put in the probe, because individuals are not able to accept three-cooked meat, so The time to put it in is a little later, if you like 3 minutes cooked, you can consider inserting the temperature probe earlier.
can also process vegetables.
After cooking the steak, you can switch the steak machine to the vegetable position and continue cooking. The temperature at this time is 160°C. Vegetables that can be paired with steak include green bamboo shoots, broccoli, Potatoes, small tomatoes, etc., according to personal taste.
The final finished product of 5 minutes cooked steak
cuts the grilled steak, you can see that the inside is basically 5 minutes cooked, the steak taste is more delicate at this time, and there is another trick when using the Beef Steak Machine. After 5 minutes of cooking, turn off the power, close the upper and lower lids, and keep warm. After a while, the maturity will further increase with the residual temperature, and you can cook a great 7-minute steak.
Summary
There is a steak raw material of the same grade as the steak shop on the market, and its price is about 30%~50% of the latter. Therefore, it is a very affordable thing to make steak at home. When relatives and friends come home, if you can Bringing out a good steak is also more in line with people's habit of eating less. At the same time, its cooking environment and convenience are cleaner and simpler than traditional stir-fry.
For those users who like to grill and fry meat, this steak machine from the esthetician is a product that is worth considering on the market. With the blessing of intelligent temperature control probe, even novice users can easily Cook an authentic steak meal, and it also has a strong multi-purpose ability.
