While features like pre-programmed settings and sensor cooking can be helpful but only select one that has features you'll actually use. Don't forget to consider the cost of installation, built in microwaves with trim kits which must be completed by an expert.

Size

When you are choosing a microwave with a white built in microwave-in oven, you must take the size of your kitchen and cabinet into consideration in order to choose the right model for your space. Microwaves come 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 prepare at one time.

Another crucial aspect to consider when choosing a microwave is the cost. The cost of microwaves varies based on their size, features and the brand you select. The installation costs should also be taken into consideration. Freestanding microwaves can be cheaper to purchase and install since they can be put on the counter.

Power

The cooking power (wattage) of a microwave determines how quickly and efficiently your food is cooked. Higher wattages tend to cook faster, but less expensive models can still meet most requirements. We recommend choosing a microwave that has at minimum 1,000 Watts. Microwaves that have less power can cook unevenly and require longer to heat food than microwaves with higher wattages.

Consult the user's manual for your microwave or the serial number plate that is on the inside. You can compare the wattage between different models to determine the best one for your requirements.

You'll have to measure the space to ensure that you're able to find a microwave with a usable capacity that meets your requirements. The larger the microwave must be to accommodate the dishes, the more power you need.

Convection

Convection is a function that allows microwave ovens to bake or brown food in addition to heating. The microwave oven's heating element and the fan combine to circulate hot air around food in the microwave oven similar to an oven roaster, which enables the appliance to cook food more evenly than conventional microwaves.

Microwave radiation is emitted from the magnetron in a small chamber inside the oven, generating microwaves that cook and heat the food. Microwaves, a non-ionizing electromagnetic wave, haven't been shown to cause cancer by long-term studies on rodents. In contrast to conventional ovens that emit high-energy radiation which can cause burns, the microwaves produced by a microwave oven are emitted by the door of the oven, and are not the risk of injury to anyone.

The varying rate at which food absorbs energy can cause uneven heating in dishes that have been microwaved. You can reduce these problems by stirring your food, or using a rotating turning table that turns the dish as it cooks.

Certain microwaves with built-in microwaves can be placed inside a cabinet to create an elegant look and allow easy access. They usually come with trim kits to fill in any gaps between the cabinet and the microwave to ensure a perfect finish. Certain models are countertop models that sit on the counter top of the kitchen and plug into an outlet. Countertop models can be used to replace a countertop oven or can be paired with a microwave to create a two-in-one appliance that maximizes space. Some countertop models have a pull-out drawer that can be opened and closed with the touch of a button for even easier access.

Certain manufacturers also have models equipped with a touch screen for added convenience. Some have finishes such as stainless built in microwave steel with PrintShieldTM, which is resistant to fingerprints and smudges. A microwave tray that is dishwasher-safe makes cleanup easier.

Microwave ovens use electromagnetic waves that have a small wavelength to heat food by directly vibrating molecules within the cooking cavity. The technology was developed after World War II, based on radar technology used during the war. The microwave radiation is not ionizing, and poses no health danger if the door to the oven is shut securely and latches.

A built-in microwave can be installed instead of a traditional countertop or under-counter model, and it can be integrated into an over-the-range oven or a wall oven. Installing the appliance is done by a professional. Depending on the dimensions of your cabinet, it could be necessary for you to change a panel to accommodate the new appliance.

Venting systems can help ensure the appliance operates without danger and lowers the chance of carbon monoxide poisoning.
