Microwave oven is a very convenient home kitchen appliances, with the development of technology, microwave ovens in the appearance of the design is more and more fashionable and beautiful, more and more diverse functions, to meet more cooking needs. Selection of microwave ovens should not only look at the appearance and function, but also consider some details. So how to buy a microwave oven? I summarized a few aspects, let's see what are there.
Base plate
Consumers shopping for microwave ovens tend to focus on the brand and capacity size, often think that the larger the volume the faster the heating, ignoring the size of the area of the base plate in the chassis. When choosing a microwave oven, we must pay attention to the size of the microwave oven floor area, because the larger the floor area, the faster the heating, the higher the heat, the more uniform the heating area. Under the premise of the same floor area, the volume of 23 liters and 21 liters of microwave ovens, compared to the 21-liter microwave oven is obviously more efficient. Therefore, consumers should not ignore the size of the base plate when buying a microwave oven.
Small platform
A small platform protrudes from the bottom of a flat-panel microwave oven, where a microwave stirrer is located. This device breaks up the microwaves so that they are evenly delivered upwards from the bottom, which in turn heats the food inside the box.
The larger the area of the small platform, and the closer the area of the bottom plate in the box, the more flexible the microwave stirrer will be, and the microwaves will be more uniform. And if the area of the small platform at the bottom of the microwave is very small, it will make the heating much less effective.
Power
When shopping for a microwave oven, a parameter that is often taken into consideration is the amount of microwave power. When choosing a microwave oven, you can not only look at the power level, but also look at the size of the output power, because the output power is the useful work of heating food.
The input power of a microwave oven is usually labeled on the back of the machine. The smaller the difference between the input power and the output power, the better, the smaller the difference, the greater the effective power of the microwave oven.
Power consumption
The microwave oven will produce noise after instant startup, you can listen to the noise level of the microwave oven after a few seconds of startup. If the startup noise and the microwave oven running a few seconds after the noise compared to the difference is not very big. It proves that the performance of the microwave oven is not ideal, and it consumes too much useless power after startup, and consumes more electricity.
Heating speed
When heating the same food of the same weight, see which machine has the shortest setting time. The less time it takes to make sure the food is cooked, the faster this microwave proves to heat up.
General microwave ovens have common functions such as warming milk, baking chicken wings, steaming rice, etc. It's best to ask the salesperson to demonstrate when you buy a microwave oven so that you can better choose one with a higher energy-efficiency ratio.
