Choosing a Microwave Oven Builtin

If you're tired of the freestanding microwaves that take up space on your kitchen counter, a built-in model could be the perfect alternative. Built to fit inside cabinets, with some flush-fitting styles to give a seamless look, they make your kitchen neat.

Although features such as sensor cooking and pre-programmed settings are helpful, you should select the model with features you'll actually use. Be sure to consider the cost of installation. This should be completed by a professional.

Size

When selecting a built-in microwave oven you should take the dimensions of your kitchen cabinet and cabinet into consideration so that you pick the best model for your space. Microwaves come in standard 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. Prices for microwaves differ based on their size, features, and the brand you select. In addition to the cost of the appliance you will also be able to calculate the cost of installation. Freestanding microwaves are less expensive to buy and install, as they are simply placed on the counter.

Power

The cooking power of microwaves (wattage) will determine how quickly and efficiently your food will be cooked. In general, higher wattages cook faster, though lower-end models can still serve the majority of your needs. We recommend selecting a model with at minimum 1,000 watts. Microwaves with a lower wattage can cook unevenly and may take longer to warm food than microwaves with greater wattage.

To find the amount of wattage in your microwave, consult your user's manual or check the serial number plate in. You can compare the wattage among different models to determine the best built in combination microwave oven one for your requirements.

Microwaves can be designed to fit in cabinets, or installed into the wall to give an even more seamless look. Some feature high-end features that give a premium finish and feel. There are also countertop microwaves with integrated installation kits to save space and get the look you want for your kitchen.

While a combi microwave oven integrated oven builtin provides a seamless appearance, you'll have to pay more for the convenience of this installation option in comparison to other types of microwaves. These models are more difficult to fix or replace if they fail, and you will have to pay someone to put them in place. Countertop and over-the range microwaves do not require installation costs. However, you'll be required to ensure that the microwave you select will fit in the place you're planning to use it. You will need to measure your space to find the microwave with a capacity that suits your requirements. The more power you want, the larger the microwave must be to accommodate your food.

Convection

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

Microwave radiation is released from the magnetron inside a tiny chamber in the oven, creating microwaves that cook and heat the food. Microwaves, an electromagnetic wave, haven't been shown to cause cancer by long-term studies on rodents. The microwaves generated by the microwave oven do not pose any safety risks. Unlike conventional ovens which emit high-energy radiation capable of causing burns, microwaves are emitted from the oven's door.

Uneven heating in a microwaved dish can be caused by the different rates of energy absorption from different components of the food, as well as due to the vibrating. These issues can be minimized by stirring the food or by using a the use of a turntable that rotates the dish as it cooks.

Some built-in microwaves can be positioned inside cabinets to give them an elegant look and allow easy access. They usually come with trim kits to fill in any gaps between the cabinet and the microwave and oven integrated for a seamless finish. There are also countertop models that can be placed on countertops in kitchens and plug directly into the power outlet. A countertop model is an excellent alternative to an oven or microwave on the countertop. Certain countertop models have a drawer that can be opened and closed by pressing the button. This makes them more accessible.

Controls

A built-in microwave can save you counter space by removing the necessity of an additional appliance. It can be incorporated into a cabinet or fixed to the wall to create an elegant look in your kitchen. Selecting the appropriate size, power and features is essential to meet your family's cooking requirements.

The controls on the built-in microwave could differ however, they typically contain an LCD or LED display to show cooking results and program and buttons to select the cook time you want and a defrost function. Some models use sensors that automatically detect and defrosts foods with the press of a button. A timer and a key lock will stop any unintentional or accidental operation, while a security interlock ensures the oven cannot be used even when the door is closed.

Certain manufacturers also have models with a touch screen, for added convenience, and several feature finishes like stainless steel with PrintShieldTM, which resists smudges and fingerprints. A microwave tray that is dishwasher-safe will make cleanup easy.

Microwave ovens use electromagnetic waves with a very short wavelength to cook food by directly vibrating molecules inside the cooking cavity. The technology was developed following World War II using radar technology used during the war. The microwave radiation is not harmful to the body, and does not pose a health risk if the oven's door is shut properly and latches.

A built-in microwave is a great alternative to a countertop or undercounter model, and is also built into a wall or over-the range oven. A professional installer can finish the installation process for you. Based on the size of your cabinet, it could be necessary to change a panel to accommodate the new appliance. You should also consider whether the cabinetry you have already installed is able to handle the noise and airflow generated by a microwave.

Style

Built-in microwaves can be a great alternative to conventional countertop microwaves. While they are placed on your counter and over-the-range models sit directly above your stovetop, built-ins are integrated into your cabinetry. This makes them appear more sleek. They're available in several installation styles including flush mounts and a slide-out drawers that allow you to place them at a suitable height for your family and make an effortless transition into your kitchen. These microwave types also offer higher-end features to give a premium feel.

When weighing your options, it's important to take into consideration how often you use features in a microwave and if they're compatible with your everyday cooking routine. For instance, pre-programmed setting and defrost options can make the meal preparation process for busy families, but you'll have to determine if they actually provide convenience or just replace manual steps.

Some manufacturers have also experimented with microwave-ranges that combine traditional ovens with microwave capabilities. These units are a good option for households that frequently use microwave and conventional heat sources, but are limited in counter space.

It is essential to research local codes and regulations, regardless of the model you select, prior to installing a microwave within your home. You might require an approval or professional installation assistance, particularly if ductwork is required. Also, you'll need to ensure that the area in which the microwave is to be installed is ventilated enough. Venting systems will ensure that the appliance is safe, and will reduce the risk of carbon dioxide poisoning.
