Best Built-in Microwaves for 2020

In the 21st century, the presence of a microwave will no longer surprise anyone. A similar gadget can be seen everywhere - in apartments, in various institutions, offices and other organizations. And if the device can be built into a kitchen set, then its value increases, since such a device does not take up much space and allows you to expand the space. This is especially true in crowded conditions. Such products are presented on the market in huge quantities, so many buyers can get lost among the entire range. To facilitate your search, the editors of the site "bestx.htgetrid.com/en/" have prepared a rating of the best built-in microwave ovens for 2020.

Criterias of choice

The advent of microwave ovens made life much easier for housewives. Such devices are able not only to quickly warm up a delicious dinner and prepare semi-finished products, but also become a full-fledged cooking tool. It all depends only on the equipment of the product with various functions. And despite the fact that most chefs claim that just one stove and oven is enough for a delicious meal, modern manufacturers continue to equip microwaves with more and more advanced options. You will find out whether you need them or not below.

Device Mode

Such an item implies the availability of the device for something more than just heating.

• Microwave mode - it will allow the user to just warm up the food in a basic way. It is possible to cook this or that dish, but the menu choice is limited.
• Grill - this option is possible only if there are special spirals that ensure the functioning of this mode. Most often, for this option, a heating element or a quartz element is built into the product. The quartz component is built into the area of ​​the rear wall of the oven, respectively, the working volume expands, and you can load the microwave to the maximum. This type of grill also picks up power very quickly. The heating element is usually built in several places at once, it takes up more space, but ensures uniform heating of food. It is these models of ovens that give food a very tasty, but at the same time very harmful crispy crust. It is also worth noting the low cost of heating elements microwaves.
• Convection mode is ideal for those users who cannot cook in the oven. It is these products that give the dish the effect of cooking in the oven. This function is provided thanks to the built-in fan and heating element. Even if you have a full-fledged stove, you can use convection on hot summer days. A microwave oven does not cause the temperature in the kitchen to rise, unlike a working oven.

In the store, the consumer will be able to find many devices, some of them are equipped only with a microwave mode, some are equipped with several additional functions at once. If the purpose of purchasing a product is to warm up products at the workplace, purchase the most primitive models. If you want to find a real assistant in the kitchen, take a look at the devices with all modes at once. If you wish, you can combine, combine and adjust them.

Overall dimensions

Another important point, in choosing which we would advise, first of all, focus on the capabilities of your kitchen. If you are not able to independently calculate the dimensions of the built-in microwave, you cannot determine the most optimal location, contact your interior designer. A professional will help you occupy the free space correctly and ergonomically.

As for the internal volume of the device, in this case it all depends on the number of users. For one person, a volume of 17 liters is enough. Such an indicator will allow you to quickly reheat food for one person and even defrost a small piece of meat. If the family is large, and you need a stove capable of fully preparing dinner, purchase devices designed for 30-42 liters.

Power

The heating speed, the functioning of the modes, defrosting depend on this parameter. The average figures are 700-1200 watts. This is more than enough for most options.

The power can be adjusted if desired. Controlling this indicator is more common in models equipped with multiple modes, since grill and convection work with different indicators.

Advice! When buying a high-power product, be guided by the condition of your wiring. If it is old and weak, the power grid will simply not support the load. In this case, it is possible to remain without light, and burn the apparatus, and, even worse, start a fire.

Control

As in most kitchen appliances, there are push-button and touch controls.

• buttons - this option is cheaper and more reliable. Most often, not only buttons, but also a rotary knob act as a control point, which further simplifies the process;
• sensor - looks stylish, but tends to break often. Sometimes you can't do without the help of a specialist.

Manufacturing material

More precisely, the inner coating. It is often presented in the following variants:

1. Enamel is the most common type. Such material is very durable, easy to wash and does not hit the pocket. However, the surface will become scratched over time and discolor as a result of prolonged exposure to grease.
2. Stainless steel - high strength and durability. The cost is also low. This surface is unpretentious in the choice of detergents, it can be washed even with abrasive powders. However, it should be noted that such models are more difficult to clean, moreover, you will constantly struggle with fingerprints and stains.
3. Ceramics are the best choice. Due to the special properties of this material, food heats up many times faster, which affects energy consumption. Also, one cannot fail to note the high resistance of such a product to negative impact. Such ovens are not afraid of contact with steam and grease, they are easy to clean. Naturally, there are disadvantages - these are high cost and increased fragility.

If you wish, you can easily find devices equipped with a non-stick and even antibacterial coating. In this case, everything depends on the capabilities of your wallet.

Additional features

Progress is moving forward, so brands try to surprise the consumer as much as possible. What functions can complement the operation of the device?

• 3D wave distribution - the food is completely heated over its entire surface. Shortcomings such as cold areas and overdried pieces will not bother you.
• Inverter power control - the main part of the microwave - the magnetron - is constantly active, when the device is started, it simply changes the strength of its radiation. In this case, you will receive perfectly heated food in a matter of seconds.
• The steamer is suitable for lovers of healthy food. Steamed dishes retain all their useful properties.
