Microwaves are great time saver devices we use everyday in our kitchens. It's an essential part of our lives, they are fast, easy to operate and most importantly safe to use.
If you are looking to buy a new microwave or replace the old one, you have probably noticed that there are too many choices, too many options and features and you may wonder which one you really need.
Before deciding to buy a specific model you should ask yourself how often you are going to use it. If you are a light microwave user, defrost, re-heat or melt foods occasionally, you may not need too many features. A basic device will be the best fit to you. But if you use or plan to use your microwave too often, maybe everyday to prepare entire meals, you will need extra functions like pre-programmed menus or one touch cooking options. Let's examine what options we have and try to make your life and decision easier.
Microwave ovens have different wattage options; most microwaves have power levels between 600 and 1200 watts. Obviously higher wattage microwaves will cook foods faster. At least you should select a microwave which is 800+ watts.
Another important factor is where you plan to put your microwave. Do you need a counter top or over range? Countertop models are probably the most used and sold ones. They are easy to operate, they don't require any installation. Just plug them in and start cooking your favorite microwave recipe. Over range models require professional installation but they are more powerful and have more features. They save valuable counter space and have a built in fan.
The new generation microwaves have options to automate power levels and cooking times for foods such as pizza, popcorn, and frozen entrees. The expensive models offer up to 100 pre-programmed menu items. You add the food, tell the appliance what you are cooking and hit the start button. That's it!
Buying an electrical device or any other kitchen appliance is not an easy task for anyone. Before going to buy a microwave oven you should make a list of the most needed features first. Then, based on the information above you should decide on what kind of a microwave you will buy.
