The microwave is a kitchen essential, to heat up and prepare good dishes. Multifunctional, the designer microwave is also a decorative asset. Discover the most beautiful design models of the moment.
A must-have in household appliances, the designer microwave is increasingly aesthetic and discreet, to blend elegantly into your equipped kitchen. Whether it's a countertop microwave or a built-in microwave, modern models now have clean lines, are dressed in trendy colours and put on their chicest clothes: stainless steel and silver in the lead. Of course, we continue to choose the microwave for its functions - practical, it allows you to quickly heat up a dish, defrost a frozen dish in a few minutes and even grill a pizza - but we also choose it for its look.
WHAT TYPE OF MICROWAVE SHOULD I CHOOSE?
The first question to ask yourself before buying your microwave is the capacity, in litres, you need. If you live alone, a small microwave is enough, while large families with cordon bleus will want to heat up their simmered and large dishes. Thus, you can find models ranging from 21 to 50 liters for XXL microwaves. A capacity of 35 liters is already substantial.
The size of your kitchen will also affect your choice of microwave. If you have a large room, you can opt for a countertop microwave without it encroaching too much on your preparation space. In small kitchens, it is preferable to provide a niche in which to slip a built-in microwave, which will go unnoticed and allow you to keep your worktop intact. In the same way, smaller spaces will prefer combination microwave oven models, for their 2-in-1 use. This avoids having an oven and a microwave, since both are contained in the same appliance. Clever, isn't it? To help you choose your microwave, here is a selection of the most beautiful designer microwave models of the moment.
WHAT STYLE OF MICROWAVE?
What we ask of our designer microwave is to fit perfectly with the atmosphere of our kitchen. We want it to blend in with the décor, so that its colour doesn't contrast too much with the cupboard coverings. If you have a very colorful kitchen, you can either soothe the atmosphere with a very sober white or black microwave, or on the contrary opt for a colorful model. Conversely, if you want to bet on the minimalism card, you will lean towards a stainless steel or silver microwave, which will have the advantage of being extremely design.
WHAT USE FOR YOUR MICROWAVE?
In addition to looking flawless, the microwave must also be practical. If its primary function is to heat up a dish that has already been prepared, you can now opt for a microwave that also works in an oven, by opting for a combined model. Most microwaves have the grill function, which allows you to brown a quiche or pizza, while keeping the melting core.
There are now microwaves that are equivalent to an oven, but also smart models. For example, you can program delayed cooking, the microwave can automatically find the weight of the ingredient to be defrosted and adjust its power, or cook a food according to pre-set cooking programs. Brands are getting in tune with ever more efficient microwave models, offering recipes and applications to cook exclusively in the microwave. Design and connected!
