What a Microwave Should Be

About five years later, our old Cuisinart microwave died. This corresponds to the average lifespan of microwave ovens in our household. Maybe bad luck, maybe it's the norm - it's definitely not abuse or abuse. And as is so often the case with electronics, the repair costs made up a significant part of the replacement costs. So we gritted our teeth and went in search of a replacement. This time I thought we'd look at commercial microwaves as they are designed for heavier and longer use than home models, but at the expense of features/bells and whistles. After some thought about what we do with a microwave and what features we really need, this Panasonic device seems to have ticked the boxes we need. We don't need a special "popcorn" button or temperature sensor. One thing I noticed upon arrival was the lack of a "carousel" tray to aid in even cooking. Out of curiosity, I did an experiment to see how uneven the cooking process would be if the food wasn't agitated. I filled a glass bowl with a layer of mini marshmallows and popped them in the microwave. As expected, they puffed when heated. As NOT expected, they all puffed evenly. NO hot spots. No one. This is far better performance than expected and far better performance than I have seen in any of our previous microwave ovens. As for expected longevity, it's too early to tell, but I've noticed that there's a built-in number of times. It was used - useful in a commercial department where traffic flow etc needs to be analyzed. This counter goes up to a million. It has enough power for its size. The controls are easy to use and well thought out. It is programmed for complex use. Easy to clean. It has a solid hinge and a real doorknob, rather than the flimsy knob and latch combination found on many devices. As mentioned above, the heating is very uniform. be.
