Characteristics of a good microwave oven in 2021
There are several options for microwave ovens to suit your space and style, but these are the essential features to look for.
A plate that turns food, ensures even heating. Without it, you would have to stop the heating in the middle and turn the plate yourself. If these panels are removable, even better, because they are easier to clean.
Button to add 30 seconds may seem trivial, but it is very important - it allows you to quickly launch or add more time without having to press a series of buttons.
Preset functions are common these days, especially for defrosting (by weight or volume), reheating, and popcorn. More isn't always better, and these types of microwaves are more expensive, so look for ones that have what you really need.
Smart sensors they automatically adjust the time and power level for you by automatically measuring the heat in the food.
Watts they tell you how powerful the microwave is. If you are heating individual portions of food, defrosting small amounts of vegetables and making popcorn, a microwave oven with 700 to 900 watts of power may be sufficient. Otherwise, you'd want at least 1,000 watts. Most instructions for making frozen meals are based on a 1,100W microwave. Anything lower would simply take longer to heat.
Size is important - especially if you don't have a lot of space in the kitchen. Therefore, check the liters and dimensions of the microwave oven.
Are microwave ovens safe to use?
If you've ever been told you shouldn't look me in the microwave, the concern is probably radiation. You don't have to worry, and here's why: a microwave oven produces a form of electromagnetic radiation called microwaves, which shakes up the water molecules in the food and causes them to heat up. Unlike other forms of harmful radiation, such as X-rays, these microwaves are not strong enough to damage cells, but they can burn you just as much as heating food on the stove. Newer microwaves are completely sealed and that mesh layer in the door keeps microwaves from escaping. Always follow the manufacturer's safety instructions and you are ready to use!
