Choosing a Microwave Oven Builtin
A built-in microwave could be an excellent option if fed up with freestanding models that occupy space on your worktop. They are designed to fit into cabinets and certain models can be mounted flush for a clean look.
Even though features like sensor cooking and pre-programmed setting are useful, choose only one that comes with features you'll actually use. Be sure to consider the cost of installation. This should be completed by an expert.
Size
To ensure you select the correct model for your space, consider the size of the cabinet and kitchen when deciding on a built-in microwave. Microwaves are available in standard sizes for cabinets of 24, 27 and 30 inches. You should also think about the capacity as this will determine the size of a meal you are able to cook at once.
Cost is a key factor to take into account when choosing a microwave. Microwaves can be purchased in different price points dependent on the dimensions, features and brand you choose. In addition to the price of the appliance you will also be able to calculate the cost of installation. Freestanding microwaves are less expensive to purchase and install because they can be placed on the counter.
Power
The cooking power of microwaves (wattage) is what determines how quickly and efficiently food items will be cooked. Generally, higher wattages will cook faster, however lower-end models can still meet most requirements. We recommend selecting a model with at least 1,000 Watts. Microwaves with a lower wattage may cook unevenly and take longer to heat up food than microwaves with more watts.
To determine the wattage of your microwave, consult your user manual or check the serial number plate in. You can also examine the wattage of different models to help you pick the one that is best for your household needs.
Microwaves can be designed to fit into cabinets, or placed in the wall for an even more seamless look. Some of these come with high-end features for a premium finish and feel. You can find microwaves for countertops with integrated installation kits to make space in your kitchen and to give it a unique look.
A microwave with built-ins may appear more seamless, but you will be paying more for this kind of installation in comparison to other types. These models are harder to fix or replace if they fail and you'll have pay someone to install them. Countertop and over-the range microwaves don't require installation fees. You'll need to check whether the model you choose will fit in the area you want to use it. You will need to measure your space to locate the microwave with a capacity that is suitable for your needs. The bigger the microwave has to be in order to accommodate dishes, the more power you require.
Convection
A microwave oven with convection capabilities allows you to brown or bake foods in addition to defrosting and heating. The fan and heating element of the microwave oven work to circulate hot dry air around food items inside the microwave, just like an oven. This allows the appliance to cook food more evenly.
The magnetron in the oven emits microwave radiation that is used to cook and heat the food. Microwaves are non-ionizing electromagnetic radiation, and have been proven not to cause cancer in long-term rodent studies. The microwaves produced by the microwave oven do not pose any safety risks. Contrary to conventional ovens, which emit high-energy radiation that is capable of causing burns, microwaves are emitted from the oven door.
Uneven heating in a microwaved dish can be caused by the different rates of energy absorption from the various components of the food, as well as due to the vibration. This issue can be cured by stirring the food, or using a an oscillating turntable that turns the dish while it cooks.
Some built-in microwaves can be placed inside cabinets to give them an elegant look and allow easy access. Trim kits are available for these models to close any gaps that might exist between the microwave and the cabinet. This gives the microwave a seamless appearance. There are also countertop models that are placed on kitchen counters and plug into the power outlet. A countertop model is an excellent alternative to an oven or microwave that is mounted on a countertop. Some countertop models have a pull-out drawer that can be opened and closed at the touch of a button for even easier access.
Controls
A built-in microwave removes the need for an additional appliance that takes up counter space. It can be fixed to the wall or incorporated inside a cabinet for an elegant appearance in your kitchen. It is essential to select the appropriate size and power, as well as features for your family's needs.
The controls on the built-in microwave could differ, but they usually include an LCD or LED display that can be used to program and read cooking results buttons to choose the desired cooking time and a defrost feature. Certain models have sensors that automatically detect and defrosts food at the touch of a single button. A key lock and timer protect against accidental or unintentional operation, while a security lock ensures that the oven will not be run even when the door is closed.
Some manufacturers also offer models with a touch screen, for convenience. Other models have finishes such as stainless steel with PrintShieldTM, which resists smudges and fingerprints. A microwave that has a dishwasher-safe tray makes cleanup easier.
Microwave ovens utilize electromagnetic waves that have a short wavelength to cook food by directly vibrating molecules within the cooking cavity. The technology was developed following World War II using radar technology, which was employed during the conflict. The radiation produced by the microwave is not ionizing and does not pose an health risk if the oven door is closed and properly latched.
A built-in microwave can replace a countertop or undercounter model, and is also integrated into a wall or over-the range oven. Installing the appliance can be done by an expert. Depending on the dimensions of your cabinet, it could be necessary for you to replace a panel in order to accommodate the new appliance. A microwave could require ventilation, so you must think about whether your cabinetry is able to handle the extra noise and airflow.
Style
Built-in microwaves can be a great alternative to conventional countertop microwaves. While they are placed on your counter, and models that are over-the-range sit directly above your stovetop, built-ins are integrated into your cabinetry. This makes them appear more sleek. They come in various designs, including a flush mount and slide-out drawers that allow you to put them at a comfortable height for your family, and provide an easy transition into your kitchen. They also have high-end features to make them appear more luxurious.
When you're weighing your options it's important to take into consideration how often you utilize the features of a microwave and whether they fit your daily cooking routine. For example, pre-programmed settings and defrost settings can simplify the meal preparation process for busy families, but you'll need to determine if these features actually provide convenience or just replace manual steps.
Ovens And Hobs have also played with microwave-ranges that combine traditional ovens with microwave capabilities. These models are a great option for households that frequently use both conventional and microwave sources, but are limited in counter space.
It's important to check local codes and regulations, irrespective of the model you select, before installing a microwave within your home. You may require a permit or professional installation assistance, particularly in the case of ductwork being required. You'll also need to ensure that the area in which the microwave will be placed is ventilated enough. Venting systems can ensure that the appliance is operating without danger and lowers the chance of carbon monoxide poisoning.
