Turntable The newest models come with a turntable that helps ensure that heat is evenly distributed in the oven. It is entirely up to you, but I strongly advise against buying microwaves without this component. Why pass up a feature that can considerably help you cook your food better? Design The design of the oven should compliment the interior of the kitchen and its general motif. The most used in households is the counter top microwave oven due to its convenience to use. It requires no installation and is a no problem to operate. All you need to do is plug it in and then you can start cooking your microwave recipe. On the other hand, if you need one that is more powerful and has more features, over the range microwaves are more your type. This is a very usable and beneficial feature particularly because it does not allow the food to be cooked unevenly. Using the internal fans, this makes the broiling function of the appliance to work properly and accurately. This microwave is also optimized with safe application particularly in terms of risk of fire because of consistent heat flow. You can save an estimated 20 minutes of your time if you cook your food inside a convection oven as compared to the food's normal cooking time. Lesser cooking time translates to more efficiency and more energy saved! Convection microwaves are more versatile because of the multiple options that it can provide its user. Safety Tips In Using A Microwave Oven Clearly, every household now keeps a microwave oven. Why is it so? Well, the main reason is that cooking can be very fast with the use of this appliance. In a matter of minutes, you can already enjoy a very delicious and hot meal. If you are running late, you can simply push on the automatic function keypads and your food can be re-heated in a matter of minutes. This is the reason why this type of oven typically has hot spots. Its benefit, on the other hand, is it lets you broil food. This is a fast method of cooking poultry, tender meats, and fish. Convection Ovens In a convection model, there s a fan on the back side of the unit which forces hot air inside the oven and distributes it evenly and constantly on the items being cooked.
