hi thank you for watching this video it
is going to be a threeyear later update
on my Bosch series 8 oven thank you so
much if you've watched my previous
videos way back in May 2019 I posted the
first video on this oven when I got it
it's had quite a lot of views quite a
lot of comments on there I respond to
everyone's comments so if you ever
comment on it on any of my videos I will
always reply to you so feel free to do
that
um I've posted videos of me using the
cleaning cycle videos of me using it for
baking a cake for example um and I've
also posted uh I think a few months
after I had it a little bit of a how is
it getting on update this is going to be
the threeyear later one still working
still has the few issues that I've
talked about previously which I'm going
to go into in more detail now but let's
see
here we go 3 years
[Music]
later so before I show you inside and
before I talk about this oven in more
detail I have ran the cleaning cycle I
did it yesterday I also removed the
metal um racks because remember you
can't use them during the cleaning cycle
apparently they tarnish and go black
I've never dared risk it I thought to
myself once shall I just do it and see
what happens but then I thought no I
don't want them to go tarnished or warp
perhaps so I've always removed them and
I've always used one of those you know
oven cleaning kits that you get where
you place them into the plastic bag you
pour the liquid in you leave it
overnight and they come up Immaculate
every single time love it what I've also
done because as I've mentioned before
with the cleaning cycles and I will go
into that in more detail later on in
this video sometimes the Inside Edge of
the oven where the door is that doesn't
quite get clean it doesn't seem to get
hot enough where the seals are so you
tend to get a little bit of blackening
around the edges I've used the remainder
of the oven cleaner from the bottle just
to apply it around the edge of the oven
and that brings it up immaculately
you'll notice a slight little bit of
residue on the door I've not quite
managed to get all of that off if I work
a little bit harder on it it would be
like new I have and I've not done video
on it because it was a right stress I
have actually removed the door before
and I've removed the three pieces of
glass that make up the door because this
is a very well insulated glass door um
and clean them all separately and then
put it all back together but it's a
little bit of an ordeal and I would not
recommend you doing it unless you really
know what you are doing and you're going
to like I did I took pictures of me
taking it apart so I knew how to put it
back again U if you really want me to
see
um you know show you that I could do a
video in the future if that's something
that you're interested in comment
otherwise I won't because it is a little
bit of a stress to do but I'm happy to
do it if you're interested
so that's it you're going to see a nice
clean oven it's not always that clean
but it is
today number one touch screen issues
okay from day one I've had issues with
the touch screen on on this oven I know
I probably should have got straight back
to Bosch and got it fixed but I just
didn't I don't know why I think it
worked and it didn't work it worked and
it didn't work and it tended to work
more than it didn't work so I kind of
just got on with it and to this day I
still have issues with the top corner of
the touchcreen now as you'd expect it's
working perfectly fine now but the other
day I would press and nothing would
happen nothing nothing would happen
sometimes I would press two fingers
nothing would happen and then eventually
it would work it only seems to be the
very top Corner which is the
unresponsive part I have found a quick
fix is if you clean the screen with you
know a damp cloth and dry it with a tea
towel that does seem to restore it it's
almost like it's slightly too sensitive
if you have like any oils or anything on
your fingers when you're pressing it
everywhere else works perfectly the dial
control for adjusting the temperature or
interacting with the oven sometimes that
gets a little bit not gky but a little
bit unresponsive I have found that if
you simply pull that
off clean with a damp cloth dry with a
tea toil you don't really have to do
anything with this but if you place it
back in it works perfectly again I think
over time if you're pressing it and turn
it and opening and closing and steams
going up and all of that it does tend to
get a little bit
unresponsive um or a little bit slightly
difficult to turn not necessarily un
responsive just you feel like you can't
turn it with your fingers a little bit
stiff remove it clean it pop it back in
perfect that's my solution for that
number two
so features on this
oven assyst
is probably the main reason why I got
this oven because I love gadgets I love
the fact that this oven does a lot of
things for you um you can plug the
probing when you're using it to cook
meat you can use the Perfect Bake
feature which I'm going to talk about in
a moment because it's one of my favorite
features um to help bake cakes and
things um it does seem to have a lot of
interesting features in the assist
section do I ever use them no not at all
all and it's not because I don't want to
use them it's simply because I don't
seem to be able to cook anything which
the assist feature is actually useful
for um if I was to compare this to um a
Meer oven for example now a mea oven
from the videos that I've watched seems
to
have loads more um assistive features
for cooking for baking for whatever it
is it seems to have
lots more options whereas I'm limited
for example if I go to Frozen products
I'm limited to pizza bread rolls baked
potato products fish you know I'm kind
of limited to what I can use whereas on
a me oven for example if you go into um
vegetables for example which I've got on
here I've got stew of vegetables
vegetables Grattan and baked potatoes
okay sometimes I do baked potatoes
but the other two I never really do
whereas on AER you've literally got
every single vegetable that you can
possibly think of the oven probe which
is one of the features where you do use
the assist a little issue that I've had
with that sometimes is when you open the
oven and
remove sometimes there's a bit of a
loose connection where it will think
that you pulled out the um thermometer
if you do that during a cooking program
that just restarts it's gone it's not
like it will say plug the um therometer
back in and carry on it just literally
resets like it's a brand like started
again and that is really annoying
because all your time suddenly go and
everything's gone and
disappeared it's not the end of the
world because if you're say cooking
something with a thermometer in and it's
obviously reading the temperature you
just start again and it would jump
straight up to the temperature it's
already at and just carry on cooking so
it's not the end of the world if that
happens but it's a very annoying thing
it's done it to me a few times three
Perfect Bake this is a feature that I
love absolutely love now I am an avid
Baker I love baking cakes cookies
whatever um I tend to experiment I tend
to follow lots of recipes and try out
different things um most of the time I
will do what the recipe tells me but
when I start to bake cakes now I tend to
just BNG it in a cold oven which is the
freakiest thing ever if you are a baker
you've always been told to preheat your
oven to get it right with Perfect Bake
you start with a cold oven always um
I've tried it many times I do have a
video on my Channel about baking a
chocolate cake feel free to watch it um
but Perfect Bake works it just works all
the time it's never once let me down and
like I say I like to experiment so
sometimes I will sort of like adapt to
recipe change the pan whatever and it's
a bit like well the recipe says cook it
for this long but you know full well
that because it's a bigger pan it's
actually going to be slightly less or a
little bit different or a little bit
more so it doesn't matter you just B it
in you just say put it in C yes it's a
pan or it's a whatever and let it get on
with it and and it works so perfect bake
is a fantastic feature so if you are
like me and you cook a lot and you just
want it to do it or completely the
opposite you don't cook at all and
you're a little bit scared of baking and
you're not sure what's going to happen
just Bo it in and let it do it because
it will work I've never tried it with
anything like a fruit cake because I
can't stand fruit cake um but sponges
anything like that work perfectly so
please if you are thinking of this oven
because of the Perfect Bake feature it's
perfect perfect it does do what it says
would I buy it
again I kind of wish that I bought the
steam oven of this the steam oven
version um it was like an extra 200 it
would have pushed it well over ,000
pounds um because I do like the gadgets
and the thought of the steam oven sounds
really
cool looking back at this now and the
features that it has and comparing that
to like the me steam oven I think I
probably would have been disappointed
because the steam oven version of this
simply lets you add steam I think you
can prove dough and that's it there's no
there are obviously assist features like
if you roast a chicken with perfect with
the steam oven it will steam the chicken
so you get crispy skin um but most of
the time I think it seemed to be not as
useful as say the meter steam oven which
has all those programs and all those
different features you know things like
sterilizing in bottles um you know if
you're jarring up um Chuckers and things
it will sterilize your jars it will do
things like warm up your um napkins if
you want D napkins you know all these
features which sound a bit silly I want
those features because they're cool you
know I want to see what it's like to
have a feature which you know you put in
little towels and it will steam them so
then you can have give people hot towels
you know why not it sounds cool um I
know full well that the Bosch steam oven
doesn't really do anything like that
it's just about the cooking the food out
side of things which is a little bit
disappointing you also a shame that you
can't have custom programs um so you
can't bake something and then save it as
a custom program which is a shame I've
had a few Updates this or has updated
itself a few times but I've never
noticed any
difference talking about this being
quite electronic an issue that I've had
had a few times is that it will crash
it's silly because it's an oven I know
but sometimes it crashes and it will
reset itself and you have to wait and
then it will carry on um
but that's a silly
thing would I buy it
again I'm thinking about it too long so
that's not an instant yes I probably
would seriously
consider upgrading to a different brand
like a oven but that would mean i' have
to upgrade every single appliance which
would be an absolute
Fortune if I was to buy this oven again
possibly I know that they have now
released a brand new version of this
oven which has even more of a touch
screen and gets rid of these buttons at
the side um possibly I'd go for that one
but looking at the manual for that one
is basically the same as this one
doesn't seem to be any different um it
would be great if the steam version you
could Plum it in you you can't on this
on Meer appliances you can get the
plumbing in version where you connect
the water supply to the oven and the
drain whereas on this one you have to
pop the Ste the water compartment in
so that's my update thank you for
watching any comments please pop them in
the post below and I shall get back to
you um that's that for now please like
please
follow tell your friends
okay
