8 steps to choose the best microwave

Choosing a microwave oven can be a tedious task due to the extensive range and/or variety of products available in the market. To make the best purchase, you should consider your real needs for using a microwave oven. You should also think about your budget. We recommend following these simple steps to properly buy a microwave oven: 1. Determine the size. Microwave ovens can range from .8 cubic feet to 1.2 cubic feet. Larger ovens typically consume more energy than smaller ones, which range from 600 to 1,000 watts. 2. Consider energy consumption and cooking times. For example, ovens with higher energy consumption (watts) cook faster than those that consume less, but the former may end up costing you more in terms of electricity usage. 3. Take into account the features. Microwave ovens offer a wide variety of features, ranging from special cooking times to Internet connectivity, etc. These features will significantly impact the cost of the product. 4. Choose an oven that offers a variety of settings. These allow the oven to choose the energy consumption required to prepare the food. 5. Consider buying a programmable oven. This feature allows for multiple cooking programs. For example, you can choose to cook food at 100% power and finish cooking at 50 percent. 6. Buy a rotating oven. This feature provides the advantage of not having to stop the oven to manually turn the food. 7. Think about cleaning. Microwave ovens with handle-less doors are easier to clean. Some ovens also offer a non-stick option, which makes cleaning even easier. 8. Take into account where the oven will be used. The oven you purchase should be placed in an accessible location for cooking. This space should also have enough safety and not be far from the power outlet.
