Over the Range Microwave Ovens

An LG over the range microwave will give you a lot of great features. The company (LG for Life's Good) has revolutionized the microwave. The doors on these microwaves open with ease, their Glide-N-Spin trays cook more evenly and the (first ever) warming lamp will keep your food warm if your significant other, your friend, or your child is running late.

The heating effect used by microwaves was discovered accidentally in 1945 by an American engineer from Maine. He was working on an active radar set when he noticed that a peanut chocolate bar that he had in his pocket had begun to melt. This bar had been melted with microwaves. The first food to ever be (deliberately) cooked with microwaves was popcorn. Through trial and error the engineer learned what foods could be cooked and heated with the use of microwaves; he created an oven and he used the microwave heating process (hence the eventual name microwaves for the appliance) and applied for a patent.

Actually, the very first microwave was placed in a Boston restaurant for testing and they were finally marketed to the general public in 1952 but they did not sell well (they had a hefty price tag of approximately thirteen hundred dollars) and they were called a Radarange.

The microwave as we know it today began to gain in popularity in the 1960s and 1970s. Today, over 90 percent of American homes own a microwave oven. LG was established in 1958 so they have been manufacturing innovative, unique and cutting edge products for a long time. An LG over the range microwave is priced from approximately two hundred dollars to approximately six hundred dollars. They include stylish exteriors and powerful vented airflow systems. Some are made of stainless steel and include humidity sensing technology that adjusts cooking time.

An LG over the range microwave includes improved circulation of heat through a top fan and turntable rotation. Some include a low wattage setting making it very easy to soften butter or margarine for baking purposes (or to drizzle onto your popcorn). Some models include a venting system that will remove smoke and odor from your kitchen.

LG over the range microwaves vary in size and are ideal for small spaces and for larger kitchens, with some models being capable of preparing larger meals. Some models include Sensor Cook technology and this takes the guesswork out of cooking as it determines when the food is cooked and will automatically turn off the microwave to prevent over or under cooking of meals.

The Warming Lamp in some LG over the range microwaves is revolutionizing microwave cooking as it can keep your food warm and ready to eat for up to 90 minutes. Some models include a Glide and Spin which is the option to use a sliding tray that moves side to side or the spinning turntable.

LG over the range microwaves are currently offered in approximately ten different models. You can easily search online and learn more about each model's features and capacity to ensure that you will find the model that will work best for your needs. You can also explore online auction sites like Amazon and eBay where you may be able to find one of these innovative microwaves for a bargain price.
