Purchasing a new microwave oven is an important decision for any homeowner. With so many options and features available, it can be overwhelming to determine which model is right for your needs and budget. This comprehensive guide will walk you through the key factors to consider when shopping for a high-quality microwave oven.
One of the most important features of any microwave is the power level. Microwave power is measured in watts, typically ranging from 500 to 1500 watts. Higher wattage means faster cooking times, so it's ideal for reheating leftovers or cooking frozen foods. Lower wattage is gentler for delicate tasks like melting butter or chocolate. Consider what you'll use your microwave for most to determine the right wattage.
Here are some common microwave wattages and their best uses:
Microwave capacity is measured in cubic feet. Compact 0.5-0.9 cubic feet models are best suited for dorms, offices, or small kitchens with limited counter space. Standard microwaves around 1.5 cubic feet can accommodate large dinner plates up to 12 inches and fit most household needs. Larger 2.0+ cubic feet models are ideal for big families that need to cook multiple items at once.
When determining size, measure your counter or intended installation space. Be sure to account for a few inches of clearance on all sides for proper ventilation. Also consider the height of cooking vessels you plan to use to ensure they'll fit inside the microwave.
Microwaves come with a variety of quick-start buttons, auto menus, and pre-programmed settings to take the guesswork out of cooking. Here are some common programs to look for:
Models with dial or knob controls are easiest for quickly setting times. Touchpads offer a smooth, streamlined appearance but can be prone to fingerprints. Digital displays allow for greater precision when programming cook times.
Many modern microwave ovens come equipped with sensor technology that automatically adjusts cook times and power levels to ensure optimal results.
By detecting factors like steam and humidity, sensor cooking can automatically:
This takes the guesswork out of microwaving for consistently delicious results.
A convection microwave oven combines traditional microwaving with a convection oven. A fan circulates hot air around the cavity to brown and crisp foods, mimicking a traditional oven.
Convection microwaves allow you to:
This 2-in-1 functionality reduces the need for your main oven. However, convection microwaves are more expensive than traditional models. Make sure you'll utilize both functions before investing.
Sticking with a reputable brand ensures you're getting a quality, durable appliance. Here are some of the top microwave brands available:
Be sure to read customer reviews and check with the Better Business Bureau when evaluating brands. This can reveal potential issues like faulty door latches, peeling paint, or questionable durability. Purchasing from a reputable brand reduces these risks.
Carefully evaluate which features suit your cooking needs and lifestyle before deciding.
Over-the-range microwaves are installed above your cooktop or range. This frees up counter space in the kitchen. Key factors for over-the-range models include:
Installing an over-the-range microwave requires careful measurement and professional installation, so account for added costs.
For those looking for a simple upgrade, countertop models offer convenience without the need for installation. Styles include:
Just be sure to measure intended counterspace and factor a few inches of clearance for proper ventilation.
With so many options on the market, take time to carefully evaluate your needs and budget to choose the ideal microwave oven for your home. Consider conveniences like smart features or convection settings, but don't overspend on unnecessary bells and whistles. Investing in a quality microwave from a reputable brand will ensure it performs reliably for years to come. With the right selection, your new microwave will be ready anytime to deliver delicious, perfectly cooked results at the touch of a button.
In conclusion, the best microwave oven for home is the one that fits your needs the best. There are many different types of microwaves out there. They all do the same thing, but they do it in different ways. The type of microwave that you choose will depend on what you need it for. If you are looking to cook a single dish, then you want a microwave that does a single task very well. If you want to cook multiple dishes at once, then you want a microwave that can do that too.
A microwave oven works by sending out microwaves that vibrate at high frequencies, which causes water molecules to change their orientation and rotate. This causes the water molecules to absorb energy and release it as heat.
The biggest advantage of a microwave oven is that it heats up food quickly
To keep food in a microwave oven, put it inside a microwave-safe dish.
Put a steak on a plate and microwave it for 2 minutes on high, then rotate it and microwave it for another 2 minutes on high.
Put a chicken in a microwave-safe container and microwave it for 3 minutes on high, then turn it over and microwave it for another 3 minutes on high.
If the microwave starts smoking, turn off the oven and turn the power off at the wall.
If the microwave won't turn on, turn the oven off and unplug it. Then, turn the power back on and try again.
