Rating of the best built-in microwave ovens for 2022

Every self-respecting hostess seeks to equip the kitchen with the latest progress. The design of the built-in oven deserves special attention, which can be equipped with many useful options. This practical device with a display will help you prepare not only delicious, but also healthy food. The modern market is able to offer products for any wallet, but it will not be easy for an unprepared buyer to understand such an extensive functionality. The external similarity is amazing, but special attention should be paid to the configuration and functionality of the selected devices.

Criterias of choice

The best-selling models are not always suitable for the average user. While inexpensive devices with independent installation will perfectly fit into the interior of a modern kitchen.

Electricity or gas

What are ovens? Most of these devices are powered by electricity and are equipped with an infrared type of grill, timers and other options that will help make the cooking process as comfortable as possible. Gas structures are recognized as not so functional.

However, you should pay attention to the fact that their energy consumption is colossal. That is why, before buying, it will not be superfluous to take a closer look at the efficiency class of the chosen model and take into account the power of the existing wiring.

Even if a person lives in a gasified house, choosing a gas oven may not be the best solution. There are additional options, including: convection, touch switches, spit (grill) and backlight.

Dimensions and volume

The standard width is 600 mm. In this case, the depth will have the same indicator. It is recommended to pay attention to more compact designs in case the kitchen is not as spacious as we would like.On the shelves of the store you can find a model with a width of 450 mm and a height of 450 mm. Professional and semi-professional designs have a width of 900 mm or more. Thus, the dimensions of the camera will also be larger than the standard figure.

Power

The higher this coefficient is, the faster the stove will heat up. In addition, it will take much less time to prepare your favorite dishes. However, the higher the indicator declared by the manufacturer, the greater the energy consumption. Category "A" is considered optimal. It will cost a little more to buy a device marked "A ++".

Dependent or independent installation

In the first case, we are talking about a structure that can only function normally with a hob of a certain type and be installed on it. They have a double control panel. Such a purchase can be classified as a budget one, but it should be noted that if one of the devices breaks down, both will fail. Independent structures can be placed anywhere as they are categorized as self-contained equipment.

Functional

As mentioned earlier, advanced functionality is inherent only in electric ovens. Let's talk about the most common options below:

1. Adding steam. Processing coatings in this way is the lot of the upper price segment. This option can work in several ways.
2. Convection. In this case, the air inside the structure will be dispersed by means of an internal fan. This made it possible to achieve faster and more uniform cooking.
3. With the function of heating dishes, the microwave and steamer option fades into the background.
4. Grill electric type. There is a combined, lower and upper.A great way to achieve the perfect golden crust on any meat dish. The kit may also contain a skewer with a temperature probe.
5. Built-in programs. They allow you to work with the oven on the principle of a multicooker. It is enough to select a certain option, and the system will start cooking automatically. Of the advantages, a simplified method for selecting the temperature regime should be noted. Of the minuses - in most cases there is no recipe book.

It should be noted that only convection and an upper grill are found in gas structures. There can be no talk of any function with a built-in microwave.

Type of control used

We are talking about the presence of push-buttons (electronic type), or rotary switches of a mechanical type. Far from every new and popular model is equipped with panels. Automation has a number of built-in programs, which will greatly facilitate the choice of temperature and cooking time.

cleansing

The oven will often have to be washed from the fat accumulated there. There are several varieties of ways. Doing it manually is long, problematic and tedious. Microwave and steam devices can be equipped with several methods of pollution control. Hydrolytic cleaning will dissolve the fats with steam. To do this, a container with liquid is installed inside the product, after which the heating is turned on. The remaining dirt is removed with a clean cloth and a small amount of detergent.

Pyrolytic oven cleaning works differently. Strong heating is used here, which leads to the combustion of food residues, turning them into ash, which is removed in any convenient way (dry). Catalytic cleaning is the most advantageous in terms of time. Inside the products there are a number of plates that absorb the remnants of fat.They are subject to frequent replacement. Self-cleaning the oven is a quick, but very costly method of removing dirt.

Auxiliary functionality and security

Among the many features of choice, the safety of the structure deserves special attention. Technology will not tolerate neglect, which can adversely affect the health of the family. According to buyers, the auxiliary functionality of the products and the number of heating modes that can make the cooking process as easy as possible also deserve attention.

Selection Tips:

1. It is recommended to give preference to products that are equipped with tangential mechanisms. Thus, the device will receive the required amount of cold air, which will prevent the possible overheating of nearby furniture.
2. If there are young children in the family, you should take care of the presence of locks on the door. This will help eliminate the risk of burns and injuries in babies.
3. Telescopic guides are convenient, completely safe and beautiful. Putting the container in the oven becomes much easier, as well as taking out the finished dish.
4. The timer will never be redundant. The hostess, putting the dish in the closet, can safely direct her energy in a different direction. A few minutes before the end of cooking, the device will notify you of the end of the manipulations.
5. During cooking, the oven doors can become very hot. Careless movement can have unpleasant consequences in the form of burns. To avoid injury, it is recommended to give preference to designs in which the number of glasses on the oven door is 2-3 units. Thus, their surface will only be slightly warm even when using the maximum temperature.
6. The microwave-oven function is useful, as is the spit that allows you to work on the grill.The option of a double boiler will not be superfluous, which will help to prepare many healthy dishes.

The main mistake when choosing such products is the emphasis on the appearance, design of the device. In practice, few people pay attention to the functionality of structures that can be useful to the hostess. An excellent solution to save valuable space is to buy a compact oven with a microwave function.
