The IFB 30BC5 is a heavy-duty 30L Convection Microwave Oven engineered specifically for the complexities of the Indian kitchen. With its massive 30-liter capacity and a 315mm turntable, it comfortably accommodates large Borosil bowls of dal or multi-tier idli stands, making it ideal for joint families. Unlike some competitors that use ceramic enamel, this IFB model features a high-grade Stainless Steel cavity. This material is preferred by professional bakers for its excellent heat reflection, though it requires regular cleaning with the 'Steam Clean' feature to prevent yellow turmeric (haldi) stains from burning onto the surface.
Technically, it operates at 900W microwave power across 10 levels, requiring a dedicated 15A power socket and proper grounding to ensure safety against shocks—a crucial factor in Indian electrical setups. It is fully BIS certified (ISI mark) and includes a robust Child Lock to protect toddlers in busy households. For the health-conscious, the 300 Auto-Cook menus include presets for oil-free 'Tarka' and 'Paneer' dishes. It even features a fermentation mode, perfect for setting curd or rising Dosa batter during winters in Northern India.
In terms of brand trust, IFB is a pioneer of convection technology in India with a wide service network in Tier 1 and Tier 2 cities. The product offers a 1-year comprehensive warranty, while the critical components—the Magnetron and the Cavity—are covered for 3 years. For an average Indian household, using this for 20 minutes daily for reheating and light snacks will add approximately ₹150–₹220 to the monthly electricity bill. Its 'Keep Warm' function is particularly useful for serving hot food to family members eating at different times.
