Built-In Microwaves
Built-in microwaves can differ from traditional models, which are notorious for occupying a good deal of space on your countertop and sometimes there just isn't a great spot for them. Countertop models are great for easier installations and can provide a familiar experience that many have come to expect for heating food. But with the popularity of built-in appliances, your new unit can tackle space and convenience by tucking away into the space you'd always hoped it could fit into, whether that's above a range, stovetop or other appliance. Step up your design game beyond the simple placement on top of your refrigerator or tucked away on your kitchen counters by integrating your unit into your kitchen with a seamless placement.
With a slew of options to choose from, you can determine the direction the door opens for the appliance to ensure the perfect fit, along with a large variety of materials to match the aesthetics of your home. Refer to our helpful microwave trim kit buying guide for useful guidance to make sure everything gets installed correctly. With many variations that include convection cooking, you can expand on your oven's real estate for cooking those larger meals where oven space is sacred. Now the pressure to roast exclusively out of your oven can be alleviated with a second option that is only a few feet away so you can balance your meal without feeling like you're only cooking with your packed oven.
Micro Wave, Macro Style
Many of these units feature simple convection oven options alongside the default heating style of a built-in microwave oven. But the features don't stop there. Many of these models offer a feature that uses sensors to set the proper cooking temperatures and times for the item being heated. There are options with an auto defrost ability that can tell when your food needs more time to thaw, so your frozen meats are always ready for the heat. Many microwaves feature an adjustable timer that can add 30 seconds to your cooking time but also include a setting to keep your dishes warm, sometimes up to 90 minutes, helping you with the timing of your dishes. Not only that, there are models with the ability to delay a cook, so you can set it and forget it for even smarter cooking coordination. An expected feature is the turntable, which is typically located within the unit. A newer option allows the chef to maintain a rotation for the turntable or turn it off entirely to accommodate particular heating selections. And of course, there is the classic popcorn setting that many of these devices share, so movie night doesn't end up being burnt popcorn night.
