While features such as pre-programmed settings and sensor cooking are useful but only select the model that comes with features you will actually use. Also, don't forget the cost of installation, which should be completed by a professional. Size To ensure that you choose the best model for your space, you should think about the size of your cabinet and kitchen when deciding on a built-in microwave. Microwaves are typically available in 27-, 24-,– and 30-inch widths to adhere to the standard sizes of cabinets.

Microwaves are available in various price ranges according to the size, features, and the brand you select. The installation costs should also be taken into account. Freestanding microwaves are usually cheaper to purchase and install as you simply place them on the counter and connect them to the outlet. Power The cooking power (wattage) of a microwave determines how quickly and efficiently your food is cooked. Generally, higher wattages will cook faster, however less expensive models can still meet most needs. We recommend selecting a microwave that has at minimum 1,000 watts. Microwaves with lower watts can cook unevenly and require longer to heat food as microwaves with higher wattages. To find the amount of wattage in your microwave, refer to the user's manual or check the serial number plate inside. You can compare the wattage among different models to select the right one for your requirements. Microwaves can be designed to fit into a cabinet, or even inserted into the wall for a more integrated look. Some have high-end features to give an exquisite finish and feel.

The microwave oven's fan and heating element combine to circulate hot air around food in the microwave oven, similar to oven roasters, which enables the appliance to cook food more evenly than conventional microwaves. Microwave radiation is generated by the magnetron in a small chamber inside the oven, generating microwaves that cook and heat the food. Microwaves, a non-ionizing electromagnetic wave, have not been proven to cause cancer by long-term studies of rodents. Contrary to conventional ovens which emit high-energy radiation that can cause burns, the microwaves produced by a microwave oven are emitted through the door of the oven, and are not an immediate risk to safety. Uneven heating in a microwaved dish may result from the different rates of energy absorption by the various parts of the food, as well as due to the vibration. These issues can be minimized by stirring the food, or using a a rotating turntable that turns the dish while it cooks.

Certain manufacturers also have models with a touch screen for convenience. Other models feature finishes like stainless steel with PrintShieldTM which is resistant to fingerprints and smudges. A microwave tray that is dishwasher-safe makes cleanup simpler. Microwave ovens heat food using electromagnetic waves with very short wavelengths that vibrate molecules directly inside the cooking chamber. The technology was developed following World War II using radar technology that was used during the conflict. The microwave radiation is not Ionizing and is not a health danger if the door to the oven is properly closed and locked. A built-in microwave is a great alternative to an undercounter or countertop model, and is also installed in a wall or over-the range oven. Installing the appliance is done by an expert.
