Undercounter Microwave Drawers

As the newest trend in kitchen design, microwave drawers provide more flexibility than traditional countertop or over-the-range models. They can be incorporated into lower cabinets underneath countertops, in a kitchen island or above a built-in wall oven for an elegant appearance. They also open up instead of swinging on hinges, making them easier to reach for left-handed cooks.

These sleek appliances are a good option for those who want to reduce counter space, add more storage to their kitchens or keep their kitchens visually open. While they are more expensive than traditional microwaves, many homeowners believe that the superior design and function are worth the extra cost.

Microwave drawers differ from standard models that sit on the top of the range counter. They have an even surface and can be fitted perfectly into your cabinetry. This makes them a great alternative for kitchen remodels. You can also put in microwave drawers into an existing kitchen without a large amount of effort. If you're doing a full kitchen remodel, it's best to select a microwave drawer during the planning process and have it installed at the same time as your new cabinetry and other appliances are being put in place.

Microwave drawers are also great for those who struggle reaching a standard countertop or over-the-range microwave. They have a slim front that can be opened and closed by a single button. They're also more convenient for those who are shorter or with back issues who might be unable to lift heavy dishes into an over-the-range microwave.

A microwave drawer's disadvantages include its cost which is more expensive than a countertop or an over-the range microwave, and the fact that it does not allow for convection. They also don't have a turntable. This could be a problem for those who like stirring their food while it is heating up or have oblong-shaped containers that would not fit on a regular microwave plate.

Finally, a microwave drawer isn't as easy to clean like a countertop or an over-the-range microwave since there aren't exposed scratching surfaces. It's recommended to clean it frequently with a damp cloth to maintain its gorgeous, pristine look.

Wi-Fi Connectivity

Microwaves that are built into your kitchen cabinets or mounted into a fixed wall free up your countertops and create an integrated design for your kitchen. These types of microwave ovens are with an internet connection. The microwaves can be controlled by an app on your tablet, smartphone or laptop computer that lets you set timers and receive notifications when food is ready. Some models also come with a 7" touchscreen display that shows the oven's temperature and cooking status for easy monitoring and notifications.

It offers the speed, convenience, and convenience you require to play your favorite games, apps, and videos. You can connect your smart TV or laptop to stream your favorite films and shows, join online gaming, or social media. Some models of KitchenAid microwaves have the Wi Fi Easy Connect feature. This allows you to easily pair your microwave with your home Wi Fi network without the need for complicated codes or settings.

Convection Cooking

Convection cooking allows your dishes to cook faster and more evenly. Convection uses an exhaust system and a fan to circulate hot oven air throughout your food, removing cold spots or uneven heating that may occur when using a traditional oven. Convection reduces the need for rotating or adjusting your food when baking.

Certain microwaves, such as the ones made by the KitchenAid brand, have convection cooking built into them for a custom look that blends in with your cabinets and other appliances. These models are designed to fit in with your cabinets and have trim kits that give a seamless, sleek finish. There are many models and styles available, including a double convection microwave that will perfectly fit within your cabinets.

Microwaves with convection settings are ideal for baking, roasting vegetables and making casseroles. They can help food brown and crisp up faster by circulating hot air around them. And they can also be used to bake cookies and cakes. There's a range of other uses for a microwave that has convection ovens, so it's worth the effort to learn how you can best make use of this feature.

Although it might seem counterintuitive, you should check your foods more often when using convection microwave. The food cooks faster in a convection microwave than in an oven. It is important to remove food items from the microwave after it is cooked. You should inspect your food at least two-thirds to three-quarters through the recommended cooking time. Use bakeware with lower sides, such as baking sheets or shallow pans that allow air to move freely.

Some microwaves, like those made by KitchenAid, offer an EasyConvect(tm) conversion system that converts normal recipe temperatures and times into convection settings. This is especially helpful when replacing an over-the-range microwave. You don't need to make changes to your kitchen to take advantage of convection.

Space Saving

Double ovens let you cook multiple dishes at the same time. This will save you time in the kitchen, allowing you to get meals on the table quicker. You can also host dinner parties with friends and family members, not having to wait until one dish is completed before starting another. This is particularly useful for families that are busy and have young children.

Take into consideration the dimensions of the double oven and microwave built in oven as well as its internal capacity when choosing one. Also, you should carefully consider your cooking needs and the size of your family to ensure that you're not over-sizing the appliance. In the same way, you need to be careful not to select the model that is too tall for your space. A higher height can restrict access to the area and increase the risk of injuries.

There are two main types of double ovens: range-style or wall-mounted. Both offer benefits, but the best option will depend on the layout of your kitchen and design preferences. A wall-mounted double-oven can be installed at a comfortable height, while a unit in the design of a range could be fitted into cabinets to create a seamless look.

Compare prices from different online and retail stores when you are shopping for double ovens. Check for sales and discounts and used models that are in pristine condition. Keep in mind that appliances with the latest features and technology tend to be more expensive than their more basic counterparts.
