Choosing a microwave oven
At the present time, in the era of technological progress, the purchase of a microwave oven is not an easy task, since more than a dozen models from various companies are presented on the market.
What you need to pay attention to when buying a microwave oven
All microwave ovens are conventionally divided into three groups:
Conventional microwave ovens
Microwave oven Daewoo KOR-4135A model Microwave ovens with built-in grill Microwave oven model Panasonic NN-GT 348 MZPE with built-in grill Convection microwave ovens with grill Convection Microwave Oven with Grill Samsung CE1175ER-S At the very beginning of the purchase, you need to decide which of these types of microwave ovens you need on the farm. The next criterion in the choice is power and volume. microwave oven... The power indicator of the device directly depends on how quickly the defrosting and cooking of food will be carried out. The power of the microwave oven must be regulated, since different power levels are required for cooking various types of food. But the maximum size of a festive cake and chicken that you are able to cook depends on the volume of the microwave oven chamber. But with all this, the most important indicator is the depth of the microwave oven. Some manufacturers indicate the diameter of the turntable to make your choice easier. The smaller details are next. Function control - mechanical, push-button or touch. Mechanical control of the oven is the simplest, cheapest, and is carried out using rotary knobs. The radiation power and timer are set with two handles. Push-button control - information on the electronic board is displayed using buttons. There is a possibility of programming the operation of the microwave oven. Touch control (tactile) - push-button, but in this version there are no protruding oven controls. Touch control is considered to be more popular and has more functions. As for the timer, here preference should be given to the electronic one, since a mechanical timer in a microwave oven, as a rule, has a large error in setting the time required for cooking. So let's go buy a microwave At the beginning, we want to note that the models of microwave ovens from the Gorenje company have proven themselves on the positive side and are in high demand among buyers. Microwave oven model Gorenje SMO23DGB To begin with, we determine how many people will be serving the microwave oven. Microwave volume - furnaces are expressed in liters. There are the following volumes: 17 liters, 20 liters, 23 liters, 26 liters and 30 liters. The first model is designed to serve two to three people. A whole chicken may no longer fit in it. A 23-liter oven is sufficient for microwave cooking, but the full potential of the grill cannot be used. Among microwave ovens that have a grill, the most popular are 20-23 liter ovens. 23-liter Samsung MW81ZR What are we preparing Foods that are cooked using microwave radiation alone will, in fact, be boiled. If you are going to use the stove only for heating, defrosting food, as well as for cooking sausages, then you can stop at this option. Well, in the case when you love grilled chicken, then for you you need a microwave oven with a grill. What kind of grill is needed The grill is of two types: quartz and heating elements. A quartz grill lamp is more economical, it can pick up operating power faster than a spiral, does not take up space in the chamber, and also does not interfere with cleaning the stove.The effect of quartz is practically the same as that of an open fire. And the heating element has its own advantages - it is able to change its position, thereby adjusting to the shape of the products.Microwave oven models with this type of grill are somewhat cheaper. I would like to note that if you already have an excellent oven in your household, then a microwave oven with a grill in this case is not so necessary for you. Most microwave ovens use a flat grill. This grill is convenient for preparing sausages or sausages. But true connoisseurs still prefer the classic version - the spit grill. In this regard, they are right. If we consider the essence of the process itself, then on a spit the products are fried, as it were, in their own juice. Some oven models also have a vertical spit grill. Although this is more convenient from the point of view of the design of the microwave oven, this solution is not entirely successful for cooking. If you choose a microwave oven with a grill, it will be better that it has not one grill rack, but two: one higher and one lower. A grill without a spit, but does that really happen? When choosing a microwave oven, many buyers often ask the question: where is the grill oven in this model if it does not have a spit?Yes, we answer - it also happens. Most microwave ovens use the so-called flat grill. It is worth noting that it is not profitable to buy a 17-liter microwave oven that has a grill, since there will be a distance of about 5 centimeters for the product in it. Do you need convection Since microwaves are capable of acting only on water molecules, they heat the food up to one hundred degrees, that is, to the boiling point of water. But the surface of the meat is not able to acquire an appetizing ruddy color, and the bun is not able to acquire a beautiful and crispy crust. This can only be done under higher temperature conditions. For those who love baking, or deliciously baked meat, a microwave oven equipped with a convection mode will be extremely necessary. The essence of convection is that with the help of a fan, hot air is driven in the chamber of the device, thereby evenly roasting meat or baking a fluffy bun. Convection is more efficient and more flexible than grilling. Those who like baked goods and beautifully baked meat simply need a microwave oven with convection mode. Stove power Microwave oven model LG MH-6049FS In order to make it easier to navigate, it is necessary to remember the powers at which it will be best to cook dishes or maintain them in different states: to keep the dish hot - 80-150 Watts; defrosting - 160-300 Watts; quick defrosting - 400-500 watts; slow cooking - 560-700 watts; "Full-fledged" fast cooking and heating of food - 800-900W. Microwave inner coating Ceramic lining is gaining popularity in microwave ovens. This coating is very durable, smooth and therefore any dirt on it can be easily washed off with a cloth. The stainless steel coating of the chamber is beautiful, strong enough, capable of withstanding any temperature regime, which is important for grilling and convection. Cheap models of stoves have built-in chambers, which are painted "like enamel". This coating has a smooth surface without pores, and therefore the cleaning process of the inner walls is easy. What dishes are used in microwave ovens You shouldn't worry too much about this. You can use the dishes that you already have at home: ordinary porcelain, ceramics, terracotta, faience. It is only very important that this dish is free of gold and silver rims and patterns, since these paints contain electrically conductive metal and can cause a small electrical discharge. In microwave ovens, you can cook food even in paper cups (quick soup), reheat ready-made food wrapped in napkins, wax paper, paper towels, or in paper bags. The most practical is considered to be special microwave dishes, which are made of special plastic or fireproof glass. It is worth noting that it is absolutely impossible to cook eggs in shells in microwave ovens. Other microwave oven accessories The delivery set of all kinds of accessories for microwave ovens, it is desirable that a multi-level grill be included for installing plates on it. This grid makes it possible to reheat food in several plates, which are placed one above the other, at the same time. This kind of device provides an opportunity (very convenient for heating food for lunch, or for several people at once) to serve heated food not one by one, but all at once. Talk to me… Perhaps, we have provided you with a general idea of microwave ovens. Well, the final choice is yours. Good luck! 
In modern models microwave ovens there is a new technology - control through an interactive mode - two-way communication with a housewife. The display of the microwave oven shows: What should it do next? What she wants? Choose specific dishes. And do not forget to cover it with a lid. Now you need to remove the cover, and so on.
