Pros and cons
Around the same time (60's), there is debate about how different do the dishes cooked in the microwave, cooked on the stove or not. Opponents of microwaves they say that food cooked in them "dry out" and become hard, if not placed in special packages.
Moreover, the use of microwaves there are many cannot. Cannot be put into the furnace metal utensils or metal forks and spoons, you cannot use the oven for cooking food in oil: temperature control is very difficult and there is a great risk that the oil will light up. In the microwave is not cooking eggs and heat food in closed containers, including cans - they may explode. Products with natural shell (meat, peppers, corn, potatoes) should be before cooking be sure to prick that shell did not burst from rapid heating.
Advantages of microwave ovens also there is no smell when cooking. Dishes not much is heated, so the risk of burns is very small. When cooking in the microwave it preserves more vitamins, because cooking is about two times faster than usual.
Before buying a microwave oven, you need to decide what you will use. Actually, there are only three variants. Heating and defrosting food, or cooking simple meals or the highest level of culinary art. Consider all of these classes in order to sample the most popular on the Russian market models.
Basics
Imagine that you have a good gas stove, and microwave are only needed for heating and defrosting of food and cooking simple meals like hot sandwiches. This includes the option of a simple stove to give, which is not a pity, even if stolen. Accordingly, you need what is called a simple microwave, no frills. The cost -- about $100, and if you do not pursue a loud trademarks and are ready to do Chinese or Russian technique - the amount you can safely be reduced at least by one third.
The simplest and cheapest of the furnace, generally have mechanical control - heating time is set by turning the lever. The maximum time generally is 35 minutes. If a furnace of this class has an electronic control to the original price of $100 it is necessary to add at least $10-20.
Many consumers why electronic buttons with enthusiasm does not cause: it is believed that this is one of the parts in microwave ovens, often failing. However, sellers of home appliances with this opinion does not agree and acknowledge that e-panel typically fail when the button is clicked dirty and wet fingers, as it often happens, for example, if the microwave is used in the country.
Microwave ovens this class, repeat, intended for rapid heating products. To cook in such furnaces is also possible, but this, of course will be a simple meal -- the instructions are generally limited to recipes steamed vegetables and cereals, more specifications of furnaces of this class is not designed. And this is not surprising.
Microwaves heat food only to 100 degrees, and this is not enough for baking or quality of cooking meat. For such operations need the grill, which creates a much higher temperature, and the mode of convection, which distributes the hot air throughout the chamber.
Not just sandwiches
Microwave oven with grill already allow to bake meat and poultry. The grill is of two types - electric heating and quartz.
Electric heating grill is a spiral, similar to that used in an electric kettle. Its advantage is that it can change its position inside the chamber to rise, to fall, to lie at an angle or at a back wall. There is even a furnace with a special function Robodrill or Optigel where the grill is installed automatically in the best position relative to the laying chicken in the oven. Yes and the internal chamber of the microwave oven with movable tenovym grill lighter and easier to wash.
Quartz grill - this is essentially the lamp which is used as a heating element. Products made with quartz grill most similar to those prepared on the open fire. The power of quartz grill is usually smaller than the grill with a heater, so quartz grill you will be thought of as more economical. He quickly gaining working power, and in addition, due to its shape (extruded tube), quartz grill does not take much space in the working chamber.
Oven with quartz grill give a more even roasting, but if you need a more intense heat -- electric heating grill will do the job better.
These two species list is not limited to: there are microwave ovens that do not only have the top grill, and sear the food from the bottom on a special pan - the so-called function crunch and crisp, literally - crisp. This dish evenly browned on all sides.
As for the price, alas: grill increases the cost of the microwave oven at least 1, 5-2 times. The cheapest model of this type will cost you $140.
Aerobatics
Microwave oven with grill and convection is already almost full oven. Convection provides an annular heating element and a built-in fan, which is usually located on the back of the camera, and sometimes at the top.
If you decide to purchase this unit is ready to fork out. The cost of microwave ovens with grill and convection starts from $300.
