Countertop Microwaves

Countertop microwave ovens are indispensable parts of a commercial kitchen. They are typically used to heat, reheat, defrost, and sometimes cook various food items for a restaurant, bar, or other type of food-service establishment.

One thing to remember when purchasing a countertop microwave oven, however, is to make sure that you are choosing the commercial variety. This is important because most insurance policies are not going to cover residential-type counter top microwaves, and that will definitely work to your disadvantage if you suddenly encounter a problem with the unit.

Most industrial microwave ovens are of the countertop variety because they can be kept on any commercial kitchen counter without a problem. There are also a variety of countertop microwaves, depending on what you require for your restaurant or food-service establishment: heavy-duty, light-duty, and steam models. Heavy-duty countertop microwaves are more suited for frequent use like heating and reheating a lot of food items every day. Lighter-duty countertop microwave ovens or small countertop microwave ovens are more suited for establishments that do not heat or reheat food frequently. A small countertop microwave tends to have simpler features compared to their larger and more heavy-duty counterparts.

There are also microwave countertop ovens that cook with steam, and these types of countertop microwaves tend to cook food more quickly.

Why Should You Purchase a Countertop Microwave for Your Restaurant?

The advantages of purchasing countertop microwave ovens for your restaurant are obvious. Some of the biggest advantages of a countertop microwave oven compared to its domestic counterpart are the following: a higher wattage, quicker and safer cooking and defrosting, a better heat-distribution system, a more durable body (commonly constructed of stainless steel) that can withstand heavy-duty use on a day-to-day basis, and complete insurance coverage that cannot be extended to residential models.

Another advantage of an industrial microwave for the countertop is that, in general, it tends to have more built-in features; for example, there are some units and models that feature programmable controls that make for a convenient one-touch start-up of the unit. In addition, an industrial microwave oven for the countertop tends to be more energy-efficient compared to its household counterpart.
