What is an inverter microwave?

An inverter microwave is a type of microwave oven that uses inverter technology to provide more even cooking and precise control over power levels. Inverter technology allows for variable power settings, rather than just cycling the microwave on and off at full power like traditional microwaves. This results in more consistent cooking and better retention of food texture and flavor.

Inverter microwaves are also known for their ability to defrost food more evenly and quickly than conventional microwaves. They can also cook food more gently at lower power levels, making them ideal for tasks such as melting chocolate or butter.

Some popular brands that offer inverter microwaves include Panasonic, Toshiba, and Sharp. Inverter microwaves are typically more expensive than traditional microwaves, but many users find that the improved cooking performance and versatility are well worth the investment.
