Choosing a Microwave Oven Builtin

If you're tired of the freestanding microwaves that occupy space on your worktop, a built-in microwave could be the ideal solution. They are designed to fit into cabinets and certain models can be mounted flush for a clean look.

Although features like pre-programmed setting and sensor cooking can be helpful but only select one that has features you'll actually use. Don't forget to think about the cost of installation. This should be completed by an expert.

Size

To ensure you select the right model for your space, you should consider the size of the cabinet and the kitchen when selecting the built-in microwave. Microwaves come in standard sizes of 24, 27 and 30 inches. You should also take into consideration the capacity, as it will determine the quantity of food you can prepare in a given time.

Another crucial aspect to consider when choosing a microwave is cost. The cost of microwaves varies based on their size, features and the brand you select. The installation costs should also be considered. Freestanding microwaves are generally less expensive to purchase and install, as you place them on the counter and plug them in.

Power

The cooking power of a microwave (wattage) is what determines how quickly and efficiently your food will be cooked. Higher watts cook faster, however lower-end models are still able to fulfill the majority of your needs. We recommend choosing a model that has at least 1,000 watts. Microwaves with less wattage could cook unevenly and take longer to heat food than microwaves with higher wattages.

To find the power of your microwave, refer to the user's manual or check the serial number plate on the inside. You can compare the wattage between different models to select the right one for your requirements.

You can find microwaves that are designed to be placed inside cabinets or be placed on a wall for an integrated look. Some of them come with high-end features for an elegant look and feel.

A microwave with built in microwave oven-ins may appear more sleek, but you'll have to pay more for this type of installation than other types. It's a lot more difficult to repair or replace these models if they break down and you'll need pay for an installer to put them in your kitchen. Countertop and over-the range microwaves aren't required to pay for installation. But, you'll need to make sure that the model you choose will fit in the place you're planning to use it. You'll need to measure your space to locate a microwave that has a capacity that suits your requirements. The larger the microwave must be in order to accommodate dishes, the greater power you will require.

Convection

A microwave oven that has convection capabilities allows you to bake or brown foods in addition to defrosting and reheating. The fan and heating element of the microwave oven work to circulate hot dry air around the food inside the microwave, just like an oven. This allows the appliance cook food more evenly.

Microwave radiation is generated by the magnetron inside a tiny chamber in the oven, producing microwaves that cook and heat the food. Microwaves, a non-ionizing electromagnetic wave, have not been shown to cause cancer in long-term studies of rodents. In contrast to conventional ovens that emit high-energy radiation that can cause burns, the microwaves produced by a microwave oven are emitted through the door of the oven and do not pose a safety risk.

Uneven heating in a microwaved dish could be caused by the various rates of energy absorption from the various parts of the food, as well as by the vibrating. You can minimize these problems by stirring the food, or using the use of a rotating table that turns the dish as it cooks.

Some builtin microwaves are designed to fit inside cabinets in kitchens for a seamless appearance and easy access. They usually come with trim kits available to close any gaps between the cabinet and the microwave to ensure a perfect look. Certain models are countertop models, which sit on the kitchen counter and plug into an outlet. Countertop models can be used to replace a countertop oven, or can be combined with a microwave to make an all-in-one appliance that makes the most of space. Certain countertop models come with an open drawer that can be shut and opened at the touch of an electronic button for easier accessibility.

Controls

A built-in microwave eliminates the need for an additional appliance taking up counter space. It can be installed into a cabinet or fixed to the wall for an aesthetically pleasing kitchen. Choosing the appropriate size, power and features is crucial to meet your family's cooking requirements.

Controls for a built-in microwave vary, but typically comprise an LCD or LED display to program and read the results of cooking buttons that allow you to choose the desired cook time and a defrost option. Certain models employ a sensor to automatically detect and defrost food at the touch of one button. A timer, key lock and safety interlock prevent unintentional or unwanted operation.

Some manufacturers also offer models with a touch screen, for convenience. Other models come with finishes like stainless steel with PrintShieldTM which is resistant to fingerprints and smudges. A microwave tray that is dishwasher safe will make cleanup simpler.

Microwave ovens cook food by with electromagnetic waves of extremely 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 microwave radiation is not Ionizing and is not a health risk if the oven door is shut securely and latches.

A built in microwaves with grill-in microwave is a great alternative to a countertop or undercounter model and can also be integrated into the wall or over-the-range oven. Installing the appliance is done by an expert. It could be necessary to replace a cabinet panel in order to accommodate the new appliance depending on the space available. A microwave could require ventilation, so consider whether your existing cabinetry can withstand the added noise and airflow.

Style

Traditional countertop microwaves rest directly on your counter and over-the-range models sit above your stove, built-in microwaves integrate into your cabinetry to create sleeker appearance. They're available in several configurations, including flush mounts and a slide-out drawers that allow you to put them at a suitable height for your family, and provide an easy transition into your Smart Kitchen. These microwaves also have more high-end features for a premium feel.

Consider how often you will make use of the features in microwaves integrated, and whether they're appropriate for your everyday cooking routine. For example, pre-programmed settings and defrost settings can simplify the meal preparation process for busy families, but you'll want to determine if they truly provide convenience or just replace manual steps.

Some manufacturers have also experimented with microwave-ranges that combine a traditional oven with microwave capabilities. These models are a great option for households that frequently utilize both conventional and microwave sources, but have limited counter space.

No matter which model you choose, it's essential to be aware of local codes and regulations before installing a microwave at home. You may need an approval or professional installation assistance, particularly when ductwork is required. Additionally, you'll need ensure that there is enough ventilation in the area you plan on installing the microwave. A venting system will ensure that the appliance is safe, and will reduce the chance of carbon dioxide poisoning.
