Microwave

In a fast-moving world with little time to waste, a microwave is necessary in every home thanks to its inventor Percy Spencer. This is a must-have item for your kitchen. A microwave oven is a kitchen appliance used to heat food instantly using electromagnetic radiation. It works through dielectric heating; when you power it, polar food molecules rotate, producing thermal energy. From the simple radar technology of reheating food, manufacturers have developed the microwave to a device full of features. You can use it for cooking, grilling, and baking. A microwave oven saves you space and power because it performs cooking tasks that would otherwise require a combination of a cooktop and a wall oven.

Categories of microwaves

• Over-the-range microwaves - They are vented to the outside, and require an electrician to install. You may prefer them because they free up counter space.
• Countertop microwave ovens - These are placed on a counter, and they are cheaper than others.
• Built-in microwave ovens - They are designed for installing into a wall or a cabinet. You can fit them in a drawer and glide out to warm food.
• Compact microwaves - Lighter and smaller variants that use less electricity compared to others.
• Wall oven microwave combos - These come as a combination of an oven in the lower compartment, and a micro.
• Built-in microwaves with oven and grill

Advantages of owning a microwave oven

• You can cook food faster with a microwave oven than when using an electric cooker or a gas.
• Cooking with a microwave oven is safe because it doesn't produce fire, and it has a safety system.
• Microwave-cooked food is more nutritious than one cooked by other conventional methods.
• The kitchen doesn't become hot like when you use physical fire.

Factors to consider when buying a microwave oven

• Power - Most microwaves have a power range of between 500 to 1200 watts. The more the power, the faster and more evenly your food cooks. Most recipes recommended for microwaves require 800+ watts for optimum results.
• External size and internal capacity - Microwaves come in multiple sizes ranging from 10" x 18" x 14" to 14" x 24" x 20" (HWD). Internal capacity ranges in size from over two cubic feet to less than one cubic foot. The larger variants can prepare more than one dish at a time. To select a suitable size, consider the quantity of food to cook, where to place your oven, and the size of your kitchen counter.
• Finish - You may consider a finish that matches your kitchen décor. Standard finishes include white, black, stainless steel, slate, and much more.
• Features - There are many features; it all depends on how you want to use your microwave. The basics include automatic reheat & defrost settings, turntable on/off button, child locks, an oven for roasting brown meat & vegetables, racks for multiple dishes, rapid preheat, and time bake, and an easy-clean interior, to name a few.
• Place of use - Small microwaves need no installation; they are designed for placing on the counter. The wall-mount varieties require installation.
• Pricing - Do some research on the standard market rates for different brands, set a budget, and go shopping. You get a cheap microwave of good quality.
