Measure your cabinetry before choosing the model you want to purchase to ensure the item will fit comfortably. Select a power setting and program settings that match your requirements.
Multi-stage cooking
A built-in microwave can be used to cook, grill or bake in the oven with various methods. It is the most versatile type of microwave that is available and offers numerous functions to accommodate a wide range of cooking styles and requirements.
The most luxurious models will have a combination of microwave energy and fan convection hot-air to give you a variety of options for your home cooked meals. Some models even feature multi-stage cooking that allows you to defrost, then bake, microwave or roast your food for the perfect taste.
This kind of functionality is ideal for busy families and allows you to stay clear of takeaway meals or other ready-to-eat snacks by keeping frozen meals in the freezer that can be swiftly heated up or cooked when needed. Some combi microwaves permit you to toast or bake frozen snacks like cinnamon crunch and fat-free potato wafers in just a few minutes.
Microwaves that make use of various heating techniques, like a fan or convection, can be used to steam food, which will help you make healthier meals. They can also cook dishes that would normally require a longer time in the oven, like roasted meats, lasagne and baked pasta, which will be soft and moist inside, with a perfect brown crust on the outside after just the time of cooking in a microwave combi.
The most effective microwaves you can buy for your kitchen will include several pre-set programs that eliminate the guesswork and provide peace of mind knowing that your meals will be cooked properly and safely. There are also programs for younger children and sensor technology.
Convection cooking
A built-in combi microwave is an excellent alternative to having an oven and microwave in your kitchen. They are smaller than conventional microwaves, however they offer a range of additional features that allow you to bake, roast and grill your food. Some models include broiler features which lets you give food a quick golden brown appearance.
A good combi microwave should also have convection heating, which can speed up the cooking process and improve its taste too. This is particularly helpful when you're trying to reduce the loss of moisture while baking a cake or roasting meats.
It is also important to consider the capacity of the microwave combo when making your choice. This will depend on how many people you regularly cook for and if your family eats at different times. A large microwave oven with powerful power ratings is ideal for larger households.
Another feature that is useful in a variety of microwave combi ovens is steaming. This function can seal flavour and nutrients, while keeping your food fresh, crisp, and moist. This is particularly useful when reheating or defrosting foods such as fish, vegetables and casseroles.

Grilling

It is ideal for roasting meat and vegetables, and other baking tasks. Microwaves with a grill feature can also be faster than conventional ovens. They are ideal for families with busy schedules.

Defrosting
A built-in microwave is the ideal choice for anyone looking to make the most of cooking. These multi-functional appliances are not only capable of making food defrostable or grilling it, but also baking it, but also come with a number of clever functions that enable you to get a variety of results.
Most microwave ovens have an Defrost option which allows you to defrost food quickly and evenly. This setting will prompt you to input the type of food item, its weight and calculate an ideal time to defrost based on these factors. You can also utilize the manual defrost option by placing food items on a microwave-safe plate and following the instructions on the interactive display of your microwave.
The defrost feature in microwaves is activated by a cycle of the magnetron that generates high frequency that heats food. Contrary to other settings the defrost cycle employs lower power levels (around 20% to 30 percent of the appliance's total output) which allows it to defrost food more slowly, without overcooking it. To ensure that the defrosting process is even, you may need to rotate the food or break up larger pieces of meat to keep them separated.
It is important to keep in mind that thawing food in a refrigerator takes longer than using a microwave, but it offers the advantage of letting you cook the rest of your meal while the food is defrosting. It is also important to remember that letting defrosted meat sit out at temperatures that are too hot could encourage the growth of bacteria. Defrosting meat for an time or more before cooking is a great way to plan ahead. The majority of microwaves come with a handy timer for defrosting that tells you how long remains.
