Sharp R-305KS and 1100 watts of energy, this microwave oven may be mid-sized but that doesn’t stop it from being a cooking powerhouse. The unit’s 12-5/8-inch-diameter turntable ensures even heating, although its 23 automatic settings take the guesswork out of cooking by instantly setting cooking times and energy levels for many different items. 4 defrost selections rapidly defrost meats and poultry by fat; six cook selections cook baked potatoes, veggies, rice, ground meat, and frozen entrees; and six reheat selections allow it to be in particular straightforward to heat frequently served foods including beverages, pizza, rolls, and muffins. Furthermore, Brief Cuts makes melting, softening, and warming a snap; Minute Plus sets the oven at “high” which has a single touch; and a popcorn sensor pops microwave popcorn instantly, regardless of package size or brand. Other useful attributes include auto-touch controls, an easy-to-read four-digit two-color lighted display, an interior light, and a handy time-of-day clock. The oven measures 20-1/2 by 17 by 12-1/4 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.
