Choosing a Microwave Oven Builtin

If you're tired of the freestanding microwaves that occupy space on your worktop, a built-in model could be the perfect alternative. They are designed to be placed inside cabinets, there are a variety of flush-fitting styles to give a seamless look, they make your kitchen neat.

Even though features such as sensor cooking and pre-programmed setting are helpful, you should select one that comes with features you'll actually use. Be sure to consider the cost of installation. This should be done by professionals.

Size

When selecting a built-in microwave oven you should consider the dimensions of your cabinet and kitchen into consideration so that you choose the right model for your space. Microwaves come in standard cabinet sizes of 24, 27, and 30 inches. You should also consider the capacity since this will determine the size of a meal you can cook at once.

Cost is a key factor to consider when choosing a microwave. The cost of microwaves varies based on their size, features and the brand you choose. The installation costs should also be taken into consideration. Freestanding microwaves are generally less expensive to purchase and install since you just place them on the counter and plug them in.

Power

The cooking power (wattage) of a microwave determines how fast and effectively your food is cooked. Generally, higher wattages can cook faster, but less expensive models can still serve the majority of your requirements. We suggest choosing a model that is at least 1,000 Watts. Microwaves with less wattage can cook unevenly and require longer to heat food up than microwaves with higher wattages.

To find the wattage of your microwave, refer to your user manual or check the serial number plate inside. You can compare the wattage between different models to determine the right one for your needs.

Microwaves can be designed to fit inside cabinets, or inserted into the wall for an integrated oven and microwave appearance.

While a microwave oven builtin provides a seamless appearance, you'll have to pay more for the convenience of this installation method as compared to other kinds of microwaves.

Convection

Microwave radiation is released from the magnetron inside a tiny chamber in the oven, producing microwaves that cook and heat the food. Microwaves are electromagnetic radiation that is non-ionizing and have been proven not to cause cancer in long-term rodent studies. The microwaves generated by the microwave oven do not present any risk to the safety of anyone. Unlike conventional ovens which emit high-energy radiation that is capable of burning skin and burns, microwaves are released through the door of the oven.

The varying rate of absorption of energy by food can result in uneven heating in dishes that have been microwaved. These issues can be minimized by stirring the food, or using a an oscillating turntable that turns the dish as it cooks.

Some built-in microwaves are designed to fit into cabinets in kitchens for a seamless appearance and easy access. Trim kits are available for these models to close any gaps that may exist between the microwave and cabinet. This will give the model a seamless finish. There are also countertop models that can be placed on kitchen counters and plug directly into a power outlet.

Certain manufacturers also have models with a touch screen for convenience. Other models have finishes such as stainless steel with PrintShieldTM which is resistant to fingerprints and smudges. A microwave with dishwasher-safe dishes makes cleaning easy.

Microwave ovens cook food by using electromagnetic waves of very short wavelengths, which vibrate molecules directly inside the cooking chamber. The technology was developed after World War II using radar technology, which was employed during the conflict. The radiation released by the microwave is not ionizing and does not pose a health risk when the oven door is shut and properly latched.

A built-in microwave can be used to replace a countertop or undercounter model, and is also integrated into a wall or over-the range oven. An experienced installer can complete the installation process for you. It could be necessary to replace a cabinet panel to accommodate the new appliance, based on your space.
