Microwaves - A Kitchen Classic
The microwave is a kitchen essential. Their compact size and easy operation make them a popular choice from the largest kitchens to the smallest dorm rooms. No matter your lifestyle, it's likely you need one once in a while. If you're someone who doesn't reheat food much, a no-frills model is sufficient. If you live in a dorm or apartment without room for multiple appliances, you may want something with more features. Microwaves have been a constant in our kitchens for decades, which means that they've had plenty of time to incorporate modern features. Smart microwaves pair with your virtual assistant so you can use voice commands to start, stop, defrost, and more without entering the kitchen.
Other models offer sensor cooking, which senses the moisture produced by whatever you're heating and adjusts the cooking time to the precise food you're trying to heat up. Choose from different options that include chicken, vegetables, popcorn, and beverages so you'll get the perfect plate every time. If you want your kitchen appliances to be multi-use, consider a convection model. Convection settings allow you to bake and brown food from your microwave oven, producing high-quality meals with minimal effort or cleanup. If you've always wanted a convection oven but can't justify replacing your existing oven, this is a convenient alternative. In addition to technological features, you should also consider aesthetics and construction when choosing a microwave oven. When it comes to colors, black, white, or stainless steel are the most popular options. Stainless steel microwaves can feature a fingerprint-resistant finish to maintain its sleek look after countless uses. If you're a fan of ultra-modern all-white kitchens, you might want your microwave oven to match.
Choosing the Right Microwave Model
Your kitchen's layout will also affect which model you choose. If you live in a dorm or an apartment where you can't alter the kitchen's layout, you'll probably want a countertop option. Countertop microwaves are incredibly convenient in that they can be placed anywhere near an outlet, but they also take up precious countertop space. Built-in microwaves are the space-saving solution your kitchen needs. They can be installed into walls or cabinets or above other appliances. Alternatively, over the range and over the counter options save counter space while offering other benefits. Over the range models are used in place of a range hood so they can offer ventilation while reheating your food. Over the counter models install under existing cabinets to free counter space while staying conveniently located.
If you're looking for an ultra-modern finish, consider microwave drawers. This appliance is installed at a convenient height for anyone in your home, no matter their size. They're top-loading, which can help prevent hot food from sloshing on you while also making it easy to stir food mid-heating. They fit into your cabinetry and can even be installed in your kitchen island. While microwaves are simple to use, choosing one from our hundreds of options can be difficult.
