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.

I have no idea if it is "true" percentages or not. Usually you can hear
the oven pulsing on and off but I haven't noticed that when I'm cooking
at lower power percentages. The Sharp we have is 100% digital AFAIK.


It's hard to say. I was under the impression that Panasonic was the only
company that used the inverter technology with actual percentages of power.
I dunno.
