Built-In Microwaves

When choosing the best built-in microwave for your kitchen, start by considering whether you need any special features. For instance, if you don’t have a convection oven, you might enjoy the benefits of convection cooking by choosing a built in microwave with convection cooking. Another popular option is a microwave with a defrost setting, since many cooks use the microwave specifically for defrosting.

You also have a few microwave styles to choose between. The most common built-in microwaves fit among upper kitchen cabinets, but you could install a drawer microwave below the counter. Choosing between a built-in cabinet microwave and a drawer microwave comes down to where you have more space and whether you want to lift dishes over your head. And if you have a compact kitchen, you could benefit from a built-in over-the-range microwave with ventilation for your stovetop.

Whatever features and style you choose, make sure to shop for built in microwaves that fit the available dimensions. Measure more than once to ensure you know what you need. And finally, consider how the style of your new microwave will match other kitchen appliances, like the refrigerator or range.

After choosing a microwave built into your kitchen, it’s time to learn all about the features you’ve chosen. Your built-in microwave oven is not only great at reheating leftovers but also has a full range of capabilities that will make cooking easier and more enjoyable. Choosing different power settings or presets can help you heat and cook foods to perfection. You might also look up microwave-specific recipes to make the most of your new appliance and expand your culinary options.

If you have chosen an app-compatible built-in microwave, ensure you load the app on your phone or connect it with a smart speaker or display. With a speaker or display, you can control multiple smart home tech devices, like smart lighting and smart thermostats.
