Undercounter Microwave Drawers

When it comes to modernizing your kitchen's design with modern appliances, microwave drawers are a popular choice. These units resemble warming drawers, but they are designed for speed, making them ideal for warming leftovers or a quick bowl of popcorn. They are available in different models and models with different features. There are several things to take into consideration before deciding whether or not a drawer style microwave is right for you.

Drawer microwaves are sleek and designed to fit in your lower cabinets to give them a a seamless appearance. They can be set flush with the face of your cabinets or a bit higher, meaning that they protrude slightly from your cabinetry. They are an excellent option for an island since they give you more counter and under cabinet space while still allowing easy access to the microwave.

These microwaves offer a number of benefits over traditional microwaves, including increased accessibility and a more attractive appearance. They open and close just like a drawer rather than swinging on a hinge which makes them more convenient to clean and reach. Additionally, they do not have a turntable which allows space for larger rectangular dishes or oblong containers that might otherwise not fit into your microwave.

One disadvantage of a microwave drawer is that it could be more expensive than other types of microwaves, however this could be worth it if like the functionality and modern appearance of this device. According to Angies List a high-quality drawer could cost anywhere from $100 to $500 depending on the model, make, and features.

Adding a microwave drawer to your kitchen can be simple if you choose it during your kitchen remodel project and have it professionally installed as the rest of your cabinets and other appliances are being constructed. Installing a microwave in an existing kitchen isn't easy unless you're willing to perform some woodworking and build a new lower cabinet system for the appliance. This is a significant project that requires a professional installation. You should think about this carefully before making a decision.

Wall-Mount Microwaves

Many homeowners prefer the streamlined appearance of a built-in microwave, which is installed into a cabinet, drawer or wall instead of sat on the counter. This makes room for other kitchen appliances, like a toaster oven or electric range (also called stove). In some instances, an additional trim kit is required to create a seamless, microwave oven built-in integrated appearance. These models are typically smaller than countertop microwaves to ensure they fit into tight spaces, but they also tend to have more control options and cooking styles.

A microwave built-in might cost more than a countertop model, but it adds a finished appearance to your kitchen, and also provides additional storage space. Some models are recessed into the wall, whereas others are positioned in a cabinet at the ideal height to make use of microwaves. These models also usually have various door opening options, like a left-to-right swing-out drop-down drawer, slide-out drawer or drop-down drawer, to suit your kitchen design.

In addition to the standard microwave functions, these appliances typically come with a variety of special settings that cut down food prep time by automatically setting power levels and cook times. You can choose the defrost or reheat setting or a pop corn mode, that automatically adjusts the cooking time to the proper amount for each dish. Some models come with a database of recipes pre-programmed that allow you to click a button, and forget about the timing for the particular dish.

built in double oven and microwave-in microwaves are available in various finishes. These include neutral colors such as black, silver and stainless steel gray to match the other kitchen appliances. Some come with a dishwasher.

Be aware that microwaves require ventilation when shopping for one. Some manufacturers suggest that microwaves be placed at least 2 inches above the ceiling, while others recommend a minimum height of 15-22 inches. To ensure that your microwave is installed properly follow the instructions of the manufacturer and determine the distance between cabinets to determine how much clearance is needed for adequate ventilation. You can employ an expert to install your new microwave or do it yourself by following a few easy steps.

Combination Microwaves

A combination microwave offers the same advantages of traditional microwaves and an oven. They can grill, bake and sometimes steam food all in one appliance, reducing your need for several appliances to prepare meals. They usually come with a dial or touch screen that allows you to select the microwave function, convection mode, and microwave oven built-in oven temperature.

They can be more expensive depending on the model and brand however, they also provide more functionality. A lot of models come with pre-programmed automatic cooking options that make it easier to manage meal preparation, and comprehensive instructions that show you how to use all the features on your new appliance.

The main drawback to the combination microwave is that it requires more space than a standalone microwave. It is essential to ensure you have the room for it in your kitchen, and you have an outlet close by, if necessary.

If you are planning to install a combination microwave, look for one that is integrated to avoid the hassle of removing your current cabinetry or hiring an expert installer. It can be mounted on the wall or between cabinets to create a seamless design. It can be placed underneath the counter to quickly heat up food while cooking.

Alternatively, you can purchase an appliance that is built into the countertop, with an 25 litre integrated microwave vent and oven light. This will save you some space, but it might not be as easy to use as an individual microwave.

When looking for a combination microwave make sure you read the specifications to see what types of containers and dishes you can use in it. Certain models have an adjustable turntable that rotates the food to ensure even cooking. This is a great feature for certain recipes. Others come with a sliding rack that can extend out to accommodate larger dishes. If you are planning to cook multiple items at once, select the microwave and oven built in combo with a higher power rating than the average, or a model with a multi-rack option.

Some combo microwaves only have pre-set programs to cook in a combination, and the settings for the microwave and the grill or convection are set - medium microwave and 180degC/350degF oven, for instance. If you're looking for more control, opt for a model with manually adjustable power levels and oven settings.

Convection Microwaves

Microwave ovens come in several styles and finishes to suit the decor of your kitchen. Countertop models are easy to use and connect to the power outlet, whereas built-in microwaves are able to be mounted into cabinets or fixed walls to create a sleek look which frees up counter space. Some built-in models are able to be used as a microwave and convection toaster, avoiding the hassle of switching between appliances when cooking various meals.

Microwaves are powered by magnetron tubes which convert electricity into microwave radiation to cook food and heat beverages. When you hit the button, the magnetron within your food vibrates and creates friction, which generates heat. A rotating plate or turntable helps to distribute heat evenly and ensure that all elements of your meal are cooked thoroughly. Many modern microwaves come with auto cook functions that set the time and power level automatically, removing the necessity to manually adjust settings.

The power of your microwave is measured in Watts. Higher wattage levels cook food faster and more evenly. Town Appliance has a wide variety of built-in microwaves available with different sizes and power levels that can be used in every kitchen. We also have microwaves that are compatible with KitchenAid dishwashers and other KitchenAid appliances for a unified, custom look to your kitchen.

Conventional microwaves are ideal for the usual uses, such as reheating leftovers and cooking frozen meals. They can also be used to steam vegetables or prepared foods. Convection microwaves also cook food but with an element of heat and a fan that circulates hot air to crisp, brown or bake your food. Some models also come with a combination mode that allows you to bake or roast your food.

Installing a microwave in your home is best done by an experienced professional. This will ensure that it's set up properly and won't cause any problems with any other electrical outlets or plumbing. You may also want to install a trim kit from the manufacturer for a seamless, polished look. Convection microwaves with built-in convection are ideal for a seamless appearance.
