What Is a White Microwave?
White microwaves are a type of electric oven that raises the temperature of food, allowing you to quickly and easily warm up or cook meals. These appliances are a perfect addition to any kitchen or office space.
Unlike standard ovens, white microwave ovens don’t need to preheat to warm up food, which saves time and money. They excel at warming up cold drinks, reheating leftovers, defrosting frozen food or heating up a quick meal. Alongside appliances like automatic coffee makers, they’re perfect for preparing food for employees on lunch break or adding to your home.
White countertop microwaves are perfectly sized to fit in any corner of a break room or kitchen. As long as you have an outlet or an extension and power cord that you can use, you and your workplace will be able to heat food.
How Do White Microwaves Work?
Microwaves produce and reflect energy waves that are absorbed by food. This causes water molecules in the food to vibrate, producing heat that cooks the food. Microwave cooking is great for heating up food quickly, and is completely food safe. It does not reduce the nutritional value of foods any more than conventional cooking.
White microwaves are safe for glass, paper, ceramic and some plastic containers. Metal containers and aluminum are not safe and can damage the oven or start a fire.
What Features Should You Look for in White Countertop Microwaves?
To make sure you have the right white microwave for your space and the people using it, consider the following important features.
Wattage
More wattage means faster cooking time. Average wattage for a white microwave is 1,000 watts.
Capacity
White microwaves with smaller capacities will also be smaller in size, making them a great choice for dorms or small break rooms. They also fit well on top of mini refrigerators for home and office spaces.
White countertop microwaves tend to be 15” to 24" wide on the exterior, with roughly 0.5 - 2.2 cubic feet interior space depending on the exterior.
Consider wattage in junction with capacity. Larger white microwaves will need more wattage to evenly cook food inside them, while smaller microwave ovens won’t need as many watts to heat the space. Conversely, high capacity will require higher wattage to properly heat more food.
