Choose the Right Microwave
The microwave oven is an essential kitchen appliance. However, there are so many varieties of microwaves, it can be difficult to choose the right one. With this in mind, we have put together a list of the most important attributes of a great microwave to help you decide on the best fit for your family.
Important Considerations for a New Microwave
Cost
Microwaves vary in price from $70 to more than $400, depending on design and features. Determine your budget and requirements before going shopping.
Size & Location
Although a microwave oven is not as big as a stove or fridge, you will still need to consider where it will go and where it will function best. Determine the dimensions of your kitchen and the new unit to find the best home for your new microwave.
Model
Countertop models are the most popular option as they can be placed nearly anywhere. Over-the-range models are intended to be installed above a stove. Built-in models are designed to be integrated into cabinetry or a wall for maximum space efficiency. Microwave drawers are similar to built-in models and can be installed underneath countertops. If necessary, there are kits to help countertop microwaves be built-in to a kitchen space.
Features of Microwaves
Convection
Convection technology included in a unit helps to move heat around food, which results in a more rapid cook.
Trays & Turntables
Many microwaves have a turntable or tray that moves the food in order to assist with a consistent heating process.
Inverter Technology
Utilizing inverter heating lets the appliance heat food at a 50% power level. This results in more thorough and even cooking every time.
