To simultaneously heat food and bake different dishes, you need a built-in oven with microwave. Such a device to save space is usually installed in a special niche as part of the kitchen set or placed under the hob.
Choose
When buying, you must take into account the dimensions of the equipment and the size of the space for embedding. They must match. Usually the oven is operated independently from the hob. The built-in oven with microwave function is suitable for cooking meat dishes, desserts and pastries. It can also be used as a microwave, because a microwave generator will quickly warm porridge, soup or drink.
When choosing, it is worth paying attention to management, type, equipment, number of programs, cleaning method, materials and additional options. These parameters may affect the capabilities and cost of the equipment.
Design
To purchase a suitable microwave oven, be sure to look at the exterior. Typically, white, black and silver models are available, as well as stainless steel devices. The best choice for your classic interior will be white appliances. They combine perfectly with any furniture and appliances, but also get dirty quickly.
Such microwave ovens must be regularly cleaned from fingerprints and dust. The high-tech style room is harmoniously complemented by silver options. And vintage-style ovens fit perfectly into the antique-style kitchen. The most practical are black models. According to user reviews, they are not visible pollution.
A type
A modern oven with microwave function can be both gas and electric. The first has an affordable price and economically consumes resources, but at the same time working, burns oxygen. In addition, such a device pollutes the air with burning, soot and other combustion products. Usually, for safety reasons, the device is equipped with a gas control system. Before you buy a gas model, it is advisable to install a good hood. It will eliminate odors and soot.
High environmental friendliness is compensated by an electric oven, but it also costs certainly more. Also, such a device has more functions than gas.
Key Benefits
Manufacturers produce equipment with a diverse number of programs. For the preparation of various dishes, usually two heating elements are provided - upper and lower. The simultaneous use of both elements will allow you to make cakes, muffins, pies and cookies. Some models include an annular heater, which, in combination with convection, ensures even cooking. Dishes do not lose their juiciness and are well baked from the inside. To cook poultry or meat with a crispy crust, it is better to choose a model with grill and skewer.
In the heating mode, microwave ovens process products with electromagnetic waves. Also, there are several noteworthy advantages:
- saving kitchen space - you won’t have to look for a place in the kitchen for an overall microwave, because an oven can successfully perform its functions.
- The cost of such an oven model is higher, but you will save on the purchase of a microwave oven as well.
