Once limited in options, microwave ovens are now easily
incorporated into any kitchen design. With choices in size, power,
style, and pre-programmed cooking times there is sure to be a
microwave that fits well with your kitchen.
Full-size counter-top models take up more counter space but can hold up
to 2 cubic feet inside. Usually have
around 1,000 watts of power.
Compact models are available, but are usually less powerful (around 700
watts) and won't cook as quickly.
Normally don’t have as many of the
preprogrammed cycles as full-size
models.
Microwave/Convection ovens let you cook in microwave mode only,
convection mode only, or both at once.
Using microwave and convection at the
same time browns and crisps foods in
ways that microwaves alone cannot.
Over-the-range models are full-size
microwave ovens that are installed over
the range and include the vent for the
range. They free space on the countertop
and conveniently put the microwave at
eye level.
