Description
Nowadays, microwave ovens have become essential kitchen appliances and have gained many fans because they bring quick and easy cooking to consumers.
Built-in microwave
Built-in microwaves are usually placed inside the cabinet or built-in space in the kitchen wall and give a more modern look to the kitchen. In today’s kitchens, microwaves or built-in ovens are usually used to create more space and a more modern appearance. The main difference between built-in and surface microwaves is their location in the kitchen and the space they occupy in relation to their dimensions. You should note that every microwave oven cannot be placed in a cabinet or wall and must be designed for this purpose.
Advantages of built-in microwaves
This type of microwave occupies less space in the kitchen.
They give a more beautiful and modern look to the kitchen environment.
They are considered the best option for small kitchens.
The best places for built-in microwaves in small kitchens
under the counter
If you don’t have a lot of counter space and you can’t consider a separate space for the microwave, you can create a space under the counter on top of the drawer cabinet. This work will result in a lower cost because only by removing one or two drawers, a suitable space for the microwave will be created.
Between wall cabinets
By placing the microwave between the upper cabinets, a more modern and attractive look will be created in the kitchen. Also, due to the higher height of the location, it is easier to access it. Note that if you choose this option to install a built-in microwave in your kitchen, pay more attention to the tips of strengthening the cabinets’ frames because the lower cabinets must be made in such a way that they can withstand the weight of the microwave.
The distance between the counter and wall cabinets
In many kitchens, a square-shaped space like a shelf is placed between the counter and the wall cabinets in order to place large bulky kitchen appliances. You can use this space to place your microwave. The advantage of this space is that you don’t need to buy a built-in microwave and it is also possible to use desktop microwaves in this space.
Cabinet above gas
This option is for when your kitchen is very small and you don’t have enough space to fit a microwave. If you don’t use the hood while cooking, you can put the microwave in the upper gas cabinet to make the most of the available space in the kitchen. Of course, you should note that one of the disadvantages of this option is the premature erosion of the microwave due to exposure to gas heat.
However, in the section related to the difference between built-in and surface microwaves, the advantages of surface or desktop microwaves were more than those of built-in microwaves. But the advantage of built-in microwave ovens and the beautiful appearance they create for the kitchen cannot be ignored. That is why built-in microwaves have a special place in today’s kitchens
