Over-the-Range Microwaves

Question 1

What is the difference between over-the-range and built-in microwaves?

Accepted Answer

An over-the-range microwave always goes over the range. It vents the range, instead of a range hood, and also has a fan to clear out cooking aromas or smoky air. A built-in microwave is similar in the way that it blends into the decor, but it can go wherever you'd like, provided there's adequate ventilation and power. It's usually mounted at eye level or higher and is installed in a nook among kitchen cabinets. A built-in microwave may not have the same air filtering or fan capabilities as an over-the-range one.

Question 6

What is an over-the-range microwave?

Accepted Answer

An over-the-range microwave is a space-saving alternative to a countertop microwave. It's a microwave that's mounted above the stove or cooktop. This type of microwave is part of a matching set with the range and provides ventilation while cooking. A useful feature is the under-microwave light, which shines over the range, providing extra illumination when you're cooking. If the microwave didn t come as a set with the stove but is still above it, it's likely a built-in microwave.

Question 7

Why use an over the range microwave?

Accepted Answer

For matching appliances and maximizing kitchen space, an over-the-range microwave is an excellent choice. It takes the space a range hood would use and makes it useful for food prep, as well as providing ventilation and filtering out cooking odors. It also matches your range and oven, as they're sold as sets. Defrosting food in the microwave and then transferring to a pan for cooking or roasting is a snap because all the appliances are in the same area.
