Is your kitchen all set to welcome the hottest member of the family? Yes we are taking about buying a microwave. Have you decided on the brand, shape size and all details about the microwave you are about to buy?

It is always appreciable to know minutest details about the equipment you are willing to buy. That not only gives you satisfaction but saves future problems as well.

One of the foremost things one needs to decide on is ‘what is your cooking requirement?’ If you have light meals only like just daily food, normal melting or heating things then you are not required to take Ovens with a lot of facilities. It’s because the facilities comes with money. But if you usually have those fancy parties and you are the one responsible for the dinner, grab some piece that has good features on it.

The second point to consider will be the power consumption. An average dish requires 800W of energy to get cooked but flesh usually takes more time as well as power. Thus the wattage of the Oven matters. Decide which type of food is mostly cooked in the house or simple for what food you will use the microwave. ...
... Then decide on the wattage of the device as higher wattage will cost you more money. Average wattage of the microwave will lie between 600W to 1200W.

Another thing to look at will be some handy features. Now microwaves have been made ‘smart’ and this feature is really useful sometimes. Like the device must have some sensor to judge if food is cooked before the specified time or the chocolate gets melted before the timer. It should close automatically then. In other case it will run for the specified time and might result into a futile effort. You can also look for some instant buttons that will be helpful and awkward situations or when you are very tired. Definitely these features will cost you more than normal but then it would be a suggestion to shell money on these and save elsewhere.

Size of the microwave has definitely been the concern always. You must for optimum size of microwave and this should be decided by two factors- the food to be cooked and number of members in the family. The greater the number of members larger should be the oven, but this stops after a certain point. The size does not directly depend on it. If you directly cook into dish take that into consideration to decide the size.

Lastly, take a note of maintenance and installation standards. The oven must not require a lot of maintenance, should have easiness in slipping in and taking out the food. The wire for power should be long enough for proper supply and the device can take a proper stand in the kitchen.

You must have these things in mind before buying, and we hope that you will choose the best piece for you.
