#LG SLIDEPAD 2 REVIEW MANUAL#

Two of the presets that I appreciate most are the delayed clean and bake functions. But LG also added presets to this touch pad. This touch pad includes the basics that you've come to expect, like burner, oven temperature, and clock controls. You control all of these components with the IntuiTouch touch-pad control panel. LG takes this a step further with the LRE3027ST and makes it so that all control buttons, except the Clear/Off button, are disabled and inactive. In addition, all lights or display screens (anything that will turn on when the oven door opens), are disabled until Sabbath Mode is deactivated. When an oven is in Sabbath Mode, this shutoff is disabled. Ovens not in Sabbath Mode usually have automatic shutoffs, as a safety precaution, if the oven has been on for a particularly long amount of time. Like many appliances, the LRE3027ST comes standard with a Sabbath Mode. Or, if you're like me, you can use the warming drawer on the three holidays you have company, and use it for storage the rest of the year. This drawer would be excellent for those who entertain a lot.

As an added safety feature, the warming drawer will turn off automatically after 3 hours.

#LG SLIDEPAD 2 REVIEW MANUAL#

The manual has a fairly comprehensive list of which setting is suitable for which foods. The warming drawer has three heat levels: low, medium, and high. In the case of the LG, you'll find a warming drawer, arguably the most practical option. We've also seen models with a drawer that can bake.

Some brands are taking this drawer and using it as a way to give you even more options, so warming and broiling drawers are common in newer ovens. On many ovens, especially older models, the drawer is meant for storage. Moving downward from the oven cavity itself, we come to the warming drawer. We found that the LG's broiler seems to run at a much higher temperature than standard broilers, and I'll discuss that a bit more in the performance section. Many outdoor grills feature infrared technology because it lends itself well to better searing and more consistent heat. With the infrared broiler, those serpentine coils are replaced by a set of ceramic plates, which heat up and then distribute that heat more evenly across the tops of food. Traditional broilers use a coil system than snakes across the top of the oven cavity. While the hidden bake element is a nice feature, what is perhaps most unique about this oven is the infrared broiling element.

You can place racks on the very bottom level and not worry that they're resting directly on top of the heating element, which would likely burn your food. Wiping the surface after spills or removing debris after using the self-clean cycle is an easy task without obstacles. With a hidden baking element, the heating coils reside under the cavity floor, making for a smooth, uninterrupted oven interior. The hidden baking element is another surprise here and it has some very clear benefits. I would rather have a third full-strength small burner and just use it on the lowest setting if I need to keep something warm. I'm less wowed by the warming burner, which seems superfluous. If you don't need a full-sized burner, using just the smaller one gives you some nice cooktop efficiency. For example, the front two burners are both dual-element burners, meaning they're composed of independent inner and outer elements. There's nothing too surprising there, but LG has taken these basic elements a step further. The oven features five burners instead of the traditional four-burner set. Looking first at the cooktop, you'll notice that the configuration is different.
