How to Choose a Microwave Oven That Perfectly Fits Your Kitchen and Needs
The microwave oven has become one of the most in-demand and essential appliances in recent times. It saves time, simplifies tasks, and makes the cooking process much more comfortable and enjoyable. Many believe its only function is to heat food quickly; however, a correctly chosen model can even replace a traditional oven, save energy, and preserve the beneficial vitamins in your food.
At Kontakt.ge, we have over 30 different models, ranging from budget-friendly options starting at 129 GEL to premium class models up to 1470 GEL. When selecting one, you should pay attention to your kitchen space and the number of family members.
Capacity and Construction Type: What You Should Know
When planning your kitchen, it is important to decide which model you need: freestanding or built-in. Freestanding microwave ovens are more popular because you can move them or place them on a different surface at any time. We have 28 different options of this type in our assortment. However, if you have a unified style in your kitchen design, then a built-in model will be the best choice.
As for internal volume, it is measured in liters. For small families or offices, 17-20 liter models are quite sufficient. However, if you often host guests or have many people in your family, it is better to choose a 25-27 liter capacity. Remember that as the volume increases, so do the dimensions of the device, so measure the space where you intend to place the appliance in advance.
Functionality: Regular or Convection Microwave Oven?
Why is there a difference in price? The main reason is functionality. There are three main types of devices: Microwave only (Solo), with Grill, and with Convection. A convection microwave oven is truly the best for those who want the appliance to perform the function of a full-fledged oven. Here, hot air circulation occurs, which allows you to bake cakes, pizzas, or roast chicken with crispy skin.
If your goal is simply heating food or quickly defrosting products, then Solo models are ideal. Depending on the control type, you can choose mechanical or touch control. Touch panels are more modern and often have pre-set automatic programs for various dishes, which simplifies culinary processes.
Safety and Cookware: What is Allowed and What is Not?
One of the most common mistakes users make is choosing the wrong cookware. Is plastic allowed in the microwave? The answer depends on the labeling. Use only plastic containers that have a special mark (Microwave Safe). Ordinary disposable tableware melts at high temperatures and releases harmful substances into the food.
For safety purposes, glass cookware is still the best. Glass does not react with microwaves and heats food evenly. We must also warn you: never use metal cookware or dishes with gold or silver rims. It is the metal details that cause dangerous phenomena like sparking in the microwave, which can damage the device or even cause a fire.
Brands and Quality at Kontakt.ge
Our store features world-leading brands that have maintained quality for years. If innovative technologies are a priority for you, a Samsung or Bosch microwave oven is the best decision. These brands are distinguished by an internal ceramic coating that is easy to clean and prevents the spread of bacteria.
For those looking for a high-quality budget option, Hoffmann, Panasonic, Toshiba, or Midea are excellent choices. It is worth noting that at Kontakt.ge, we often have special offers, and you can purchase your desired model at a good price. Whether you need a powerful 1450 W model or a more economical 700-800 W capacity, we have a fairly large selection.
How to Care for a Microwave Oven?
To ensure your appliance lasts a long time, regular cleaning is important. Do not wait for grease to settle. Here is a simple trick: squeeze a few drops of lemon juice into a cup of water, place it in the microwave, boil for 5 minutes, and then simply wipe away the steam-softened residue with a soft cloth. This will not only clean it but also remove unpleasant odors.
Also, pay attention to the timer and power modes. Most products do not require maximum power; food heated on a medium setting is more even and retains its structure better.
