What makes a microwave more powerful?
(And yes, the bigger, the more powerful.) Different technologies also affect power. Convection microwaves blow hot air around the food, which causes it to heat much more quickly than in conventional models. Microwaves with "inverter" technology offer more even heating at lower power levels.Apr 12, 2016
What determines the power of a microwave oven?
Check the inside of the oven's door, on the serial number plate on the back of the oven, or in the owner's manual or the manufacturer's website for the wattage. To estimate wattage you can do a "Time-to-Boil Test:" Measure 1 cup (8 fluid ounces) water in a 2-cup glass measure.Jul 17, 2019
