One of the most popular household appliances is the microwave, which has complemented and, in some cases, even replaced the traditional stove or oven. Its speed and ease of use make it a must-have in the home and office. However, its capabilities are much wider than just heating food. With its help, you can not only prepare hot snacks and meals but also bake puddings, cook porridge, and much more.

Each device is equipped with a magnetron, which is capable of creating a high-frequency electric field, under the influence of which the water molecules of any product begin to rotate at an increased speed. The thermal effect on the product is due to the friction caused by these molecules.

However, this effect has a limited depth of penetration, so you should cook food in a microwave oven like the Samsung MG23F301TCW/UA in small pieces.

When choosing a microwave, you need to familiarize yourself with the following criteria:

– Built-in features. Depending on the required functionality, the market offers standard (solo) models, ovens with a grill option, and ovens with convection;

– According to the type of control, microwaves are mechanical and with a touch panel;

– By the volume of the working chamber, you can choose a compact model for one person or a larger one for a family or work.

The most advanced stoves are equipped with a product weighing function, Internet access, and sensors that calculate the cooking time.

Users note real savings in electricity consumption compared to the oven, as the effect on the molecular structure of the product leads to its rapid processing. Food does not burn in the microwave, but you cannot achieve a baked crust in conventional models either – you need a model with convection. For cooking, special dishes are used, and the use of foil or gold-plated plates is not allowed.

Microwave with grill

Healthy food lovers have long been drawn to a grill oven, such as the M2500RotEm from Kaiser. The built-in heaters allow you to cook meat or fish dishes with a crispy crust. This method of cooking does not require the addition of oil, and the taste of the food is spicy and unusual.

The heater is located on the top panel of the appliance. The presence of such an element allows you to achieve the same taste result as in the oven but in much less time.

What is better to choose: an oven or a microwave?

Despite the considerable number of modifications, the choice of the device should be made according to the functionality, the degree of demand in the kitchen, and the adopted power mode.

Comparative indicators of two devices – microwaves and ovens – can suggest the right decision when the question arises of what is better to buy for the home.

Method of cooking:

Microwave – treatment with microwaves

Oven – hot air flows

Cooking speed:

Microwave – instant heating, quick cooking

Oven – long cooking time

Energy consumption:

Microwave – economical mode due to the speed of cooking

Oven – high energy consumption
