When finding the best built-in microwave for your kitchen, you should first consider the available space that you have to work with. Unlike small built-in microwaves, wider built-in microwaves as well as longer built-in models will require a little extra space, but you should be able to find something for your kitchen setup with so many other different sizes to choose from.

Next, you should think about what style you’d like your built-in microwave oven to be. Sleek stainless steel built-in microwaves can add a touch of modern elegance to any eatery while white built-in microwaves might bring a calming charm into your kitchen. Or if all else fails, you can always try to match the style of your new microwave to fit in with other appliances, like your refrigerator or your range, cooktop and oven.

Lastly, you should decide what control type you prefer. Button built-in microwaves are common and easy to use while touchscreen built-in microwaves are becoming more and more popular. Hopefully, you don’t have to spend too much time figuring out how to choose the best microwave for your kitchen. Instead, your time should be spent finding out all of the great things your built-in microwave is capable of.

Your built-in microwave oven is not only great for reheating leftovers, but it also has a full range of capabilities that’ll make your cooking experience more efficient and enjoyable. For example, convection cooking built-in microwaves can be used in standard mode as well as in convection mode. This gives you the options of baking, grilling and roasting in addition to microwaving your food. Or, if you anticipate heating up a lot of frozen meats, you should look into a defrost built-in microwave that will evenly thaw out your most tender frozen cuts.

In addition to experimenting with different heating and cooking techniques, you should also think about your own convenience. App compatible built-in microwaves let you easily control your unit with a smartphone, regardless if you are in the kitchen or not. Think about adding some other smart home tech devices to your space for even more convenience, like smart lighting and smart thermostats.  

Finally, make sure your microwave is kept clean and well-maintained. Wiping down the unit after every use and keeping up on routine maintenance can go a long way.
