(Part 2) Best microwave ovens according to redditors

Spent a long ass time looking for everything. Here's everything I found on the first go. Will give it one more shot to find anything I missed:

• BRAVIT XL candle - (Lots of dead ends. Verdict: Looks like a prototype. Not available.)
  
• Spiral Pasta fork set
  
• Analog watch thingy - Pebble Watch + this watchface app
  
• Neverwet - (They don't sell the waterproof shirts, you have to make your own with the spray. Find one compatible with the fabric/surface you're using it on.)
  
• Bullet proof windshield
  
• Microwave + pizza oven combo - (Hell, this is even better than the Microwave+toaster combo pictured)
  
• Treadwall
  
• USB passthrough cables
  
• Robot printer - Kickstarter page. (17 days left. Goal already reached)
  
• The GOPlate
  
• Klein bottle - Only place I found looks kinda shady, so buyer beware. [EDIT: apparently legit]
  
• Firepit bench set - Not available for purchase. It's a DIY project posted by a guy on a forum. Info on how to build it here.
  
• Ghost Cube - Not available. It's art from a documentary on Ghostcubes.

Toshiba. Much more powerful than my last microwave, too.

Toshiba EM131A5C-BS Microwave... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B071WCB1T6?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

I bought mine back in 2013... Looks like my model is no longer available, but here is a similar one:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00XHE49PI/

"Panasonic Patented Inverter Technology:
Unlike traditional microwaves that rely on pulse-on, pulse-off cooking at lower temperatures, patented Inverter Technology generates a steady stream of power at all temperature settings. The result? Consistent, evenly prepared food — edges to center — across a wide range of cooking techniques."

I still have my manual and there is no such setting. It's a Hamilton Beach from Walmart. Also it keeps beeping even after the door is open. I could open it after the first beep and I'll still get four more.

Edit: This shitter right here https://www.amazon.com/Hamilton-Beach-1-1-Microwave-Em031mzc-x1/dp/B0149FUQDC

A small combination oven and microwave will make bread/cookies and other things.

1. bidet hose attachment/Japanese toilet seat-common in some parts of the world, unheard of in others. Once you're accustomed to it, it's hard not to have.
   
   
2. kitchen organizers/space savers- not any one kind in particular, but a lot of space is wasted in kitchen cabinets. Lazy susans, nested platforms, baskets that create additional shelf space, door attachments, etc... Depends on your kitchen.
   
   
3. Sensor cooking microwave- I just got this, and it revolutionizes cooking with the mic. You press 'sensor cooking" and the oven itself weighs and does the cooking. Takes slightly longer to cook, but everything comes out evenly cooked through and piping hot.

"Alexa, pre-heat the oven" is literally the text in the hero image on the page, so I think that you're set.

>there isn't a microwave on the market that could house that mammoth.

Aside from the jokes about industrial microwaves, Panasonic sells a 2.2 cubic foot household microwave with a 16.5 inch turntable, and a 25 lb turkey is about 16 inches by 13 inches. src1, src2. I knew about the giant microwave because there was one in a house I rented.

May I introduce you to my friend 1.2cf Jetwave High Speed Ventless Microwave Oven 5300 Watts

Lolz, mine is a few years old, but it's a bad Mama Jama:

Panasonic NN-SD775S Countertop/Built-In Cyclonic Wave Microwave with Inverter Technology, 1.6 cu. ft. , Stainless https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00WOM4IAK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_hS4TzbMT7V4BJ

Mine is the 2.2 cu ft model, though. Because, you know, I might want to fit a whole turkey in there, or something.

Thanks for your help guys, I am looking into this Panasonic NN-SN686S Countertop/Built-In Microwave with Inverter Technology, 1.2 cu. ft. , Stainless https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01DEWZUG4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_CqPRyb0NSN6XW

Thanks! No blog, but what are you looking for? I generally tell people it's not actually about the recipes themselves (which is counter-intuitive), because everyone has a different palette & likes different things, it's more about:

1. Building up your own personal recipe database
   
2. Creating macros for that
   
3. Dividing up the macros for that meal or snack to fit your macros for the day
   
   This is the macro calculator I usually use for recipes:
   
   https://www.verywellfit.com/recipe-nutrition-analyzer-4157076
   
   I typically set the serving size to "1" (one) and then set the serving size again to the standard size (ex. 24 brownies), that way if I want to cut 20 larger brownies in the future, I can just do the math on my smartphone, because I have the macros for both the whole recipe & for the standard serving size.
   
   Once you learn how to calculate your own macros (using a calculator, buy a scale, adopt a meal-prep system, etc.), the world is your oyster, because with IIFYM, you can make any recipe out there fit your diet! I do use a handful of modern tools to help me cook; in particular:
   
   
4. Scale
   
5. Instant Pot
   
6. Sous Vide
   
7. Vacuum-sealer (with these bags & these scissors to cut the plastic bags)
   
8. Baking Steel
   
9. Inverter microwave with Sensor Reheat (large or small)
   
10. Deep freezer (typically goes on sale for ~$629 FYI, and because it's an energy-efficient model, only costs ~$5 a month to run)
    
    That scale is the newer version of what I have. You can find cheaper versions for like $15 on Amazon, but I like this one because it does both imperial & metric (so whether the recipe calls for ounces or grams) & has a pull-out display for when you're measuring stuff in a bowl, like say chopped chicken - super convenient!
    
    The Instant Pot is an electronic pressure cooker (nice & safe, won't blow up like the old ones!) that gives repeatable results & cooks food mostly automatically; also great for liquidy meals like stews, chilis, soups, and bisques, for which I storage batches with Souper Cubes. Sous Vide is a bit more of an in-depth discussion (we can chat about that if you're not familiar!), but it basically involves vacuum-sealing your food (primarily meat & some veggies) & cooking them slowly underwater for perfect results every time. The vacuum-sealer is great for use with sous-vide (I vac-seal nearly all of my meats & stick them in my freezer) & also for storing leftovers, like shredded chicken & pulled pork.
    
    The Baking Steel is an amazing device that lets you cook incredible pizzas at home, as well as various breads (I do a lot of no-knead breads, which, if you haven't been introduced to that, is SUPER easy & gives you amazing results!). The Inverter microwave is a newer microwave design that can actually module the power level (most microwaves only operate at like, full power, and "blink" it on & off to simulate a different power level). The main difference with an inverter model, and this one in particular, is the the "sensor reheat" feature, which actually does a ridiculously good job of figuring out how to reheat your food properly, instead of just being hot & rubbery on the outside & still frozen in the middle. The deep freeze speaks for itself...just a place to store my raw & cooked food; I get huge costs-savings because I can buy food in bulk, vac-seal it, and freeze it literally for years.
    
    Now, keep in mind, this is all stuff I've built up over years of cooking, so first, don't feel pressured to buy anything, and second, don't feel like you need to get everything all at once. I enjoy cooking, but most of the time, cooking is a chore, and anything I can do to make that chore easier means that I'll do it more consistently because it's not such a hassle. Like, I can dump an 8-pound pork shoulder (bone removed & chopped into fist-sized chunks) with 1/2 a cup of water into my Instant Pot basket, set it for 70 minutes on Manual, dump it into my electric mixer bowl & shred it in about 60 seconds, let it cool down, and then vacuum-seal up 8 one-pound packages of pulled pork, which is good for 2 to 3 years in my freezer (vac-seal = no air = no freezer burn!). I can then use that pulled pork for BBQ pulled pork sandwiches, quesadillas, loaded baked potatoes, etc. & calculate my macros based off the quantity that I use.
    
    A lot of people take the meal-prep approach of making 25 trays of the same food, but man, I get pretty sick of eating the same thing all the time, haha! So that's why I use appliances (to make it easy) & picked up a deep freezer (to store raw & cooked foods in). Again, most people are pretty shocked when they start tracking how much they truly, actually spend on food every month - everything from grabbing snacks at the gas station convenience store to the extra goodies you get at the grocery store to the quick take-out stuff you get for lunch or on the way home - and once I realized how much I was spending, it was pretty easy to justify some home kitchen equipment purchases over time to help me in both saving money in the long-term & in hitting my macros.
    
    Once you get a personal recipe database built up & create an efficient workflow, IIFYM is actually fairly easy to stick with. I literally eat better than anyone I know & have a better (lower) food budget than most people I know. As far as eating schedules, you can do one meal a day, three meals a day, six meals a day, doesn't matter, as long as you hit your macro numbers for the day! I like to do 7 "meals" (more like snacks, really), as I have reactive hypoglycemia & find that eating smaller meals every few hours does a better job of keeping my energy up than just 3 big meals a day.
    
    part 1/3

I've owned this model for more than 2 years without problems. I read a lot of the 1 star reviews. A large number of them are written by retards.

This Breville Microwave has a similar percentage of 1 star reviews. You can also assume that many will be damaged in shipping due to extremely careless handling. I bought the Cuisinart from Costco, which has a very liberal return policy. The failure rate due to shipping is much lower when bought from a large discount retailer because they buy in pallet quantities. I look through the boxes in stock to pick one that has no obvious signs of damage to the exterior packaging. There are other models of convection microwaves, so I don't particularly care if someone buys something else if it works for them.

3000 watts / 1 ft^3

It has 3 levels of sound, plus mute according to this article.

It works as well as any other microwave, whether you push buttons or use Alexa.

Model... Lemmesee... here

These are probably the ones I would look into further.

This looks interesting. I'll wait awhile before buying one to read some reviews, but I'll likely get one anyway just for the air frying function.

LG Combination Counter Top Microwave Oven with Microwave Oven and Pizza Oven Capabilities

"Capabilities" seems to leave a lot to be desired.

Very cool. May I recommend the GE profile microwave? Very shallow microwave that doesn’t stick out very much. Been using it for 10 years and have zero complaints.
