Whatever the brand, features or budget find the right Microwave Oven at The Good Guys.
Microwave ovens were once the future of cooking; these days, they are one of the workhorses of a kitchen, fulfilling necessary duties and speeding things along. But in the 21st Century, a microwave needs to do more, and our selection shows exactly what a modern model is capable of.
Many of today's Microwave Ovens feature Inverter technology designed to deliver a steady output of heat at high, low, and medium power settings. The easiest way to understand the advantages of Inverter Microwaves is to understand how a regular Microwave works.
A non-inverter Microwave heating something on a medium heat will alternate between cycles of maximum and no heating power, evening out to a medium or low heat depending on the interval lengths. This is why more delicate Cooking tasks can be uneven in Microwaves or why defrosting can lead to cooked outsides and frozen insides.
Inverter Microwaves on the other hand have their power supplied through a circuit that provides power at different levels without cutting in and out, for a steady medium or low heat throughout the cycle. Microwaves and Microwave Ovens with Inverters are great for defrosting, melting chocolate, preparing sauces, pulled pork and more.
To keep a Microwave Oven in good working condition, make sure it's kept clean after use. Like regular Ovens leaving food spills alone runs the risk of it baking on and being harder to eventually clean, whilst also reducing overall cooking performance by taking heat away from the food inside.
The best way to keep a Microwave Oven clean is by regularly wiping it down whilst the oven is still warm, not hot. Cooking roast meats and other fattier foods in a Convection Microwave Oven or Built In Combi Microwave can leave greasy residues inside that become harder to clean if not wiped up.
For the best results warm soapy water is recommended. Chemical oven cleaners and scouring pads should be avoided due to the sensitive internal surface and components. For harder grime, microwave a warm bowl of water and leave for 30 seconds to let steam soften the baked on residue before wiping it clean with soapy water, following with a damp cloth for a clean finish.
A microwave oven, whether it be a cheap microwave or something more intricate, is designed for convenience and speed. They are ideal for reheating, defrosting, or cooking something simple. An air fryer is a better bet for crisping, while browning is better done in a conventional oven. Then again, you could choose to upgrade to a microwave convection oven, and then you have the rapid speed of a microwave alongside the baking and roasting power of a traditional oven. The Panasonic 44L model delivers 1100W and supports three-stage cooking, perfect for multi-step recipes.
To save counter space, seamless kitchen design including built-in microwaves is growing in popularity.
The typical range for anything from a cheap microwave to a more modern option stretches from 700 to 1200 watts. Higher wattage brings faster cooking and greater evenness in the results. If you simply plan to reheat leftovers or thicken sauces lower power is enough, but cooking vegetables or rice, or defrosting, really demands more power. Consider what best suits your cooking style - an LG or Samsung model might be perfect for the higher-wattage range, or a more modest Sharp model might give you the simple, reliable power you need.
Yes, some can! It depends on the model of course, but convection and grill microwaves can be highly useful for roasting, baking and grilling, delivering microwave speed with an oven finish. They can be really beneficial for pizzas, casseroles, and even those much-loved toasties that deliver a burst of taste in the blink of an eye. If you’re looking for a maximum of whistles and bells, look out for our Microwave Convection Ovens to see the full range of what’s available. Some of the best options will be among our Westinghouse or Miele Microwaves.
No matter what you’re looking for, whether it be a simple Microwave Oven for the basic functionality or a more multifaceted choice for more intricate jobs, The Good Guys can help you find the perfect option.
