In general, a standard microwave oven is easy to keep clean. How do
you clean the ones that include radiant heating to achieve crispness?
The self-cleaning regular oven is one of the biggest advances in
kitchen equipment. IMHO.

Agreed. I wouldn?t have one with a grill/broiler element for that very
reason.

Actually, I prefer the Panasonic that emits true percentages of
microwave power instead of pulsing at full power to maintain lower
levels of cooking.

Wayne: You can program the Sharp to give you true percentages of power
by just pressing the necessary buttons for 10/20/30 percent and up of
full power.


Are they *true* percentages, or is it accomplished by pulsing off and on at
full power to emulate those percentages? AFAIK, Panasonic was the only
manufacturer who used that technology. Virtually microwave ovens with
digital controls have setting for 10-100?%? power.
