What kind of grill is there in the microwave?

Many people know why such a function is present in some models of microwave ovens. But not everyone knows what a grill is like. Meanwhile, there are sometimes significant differences between them, and when purchasing such a device, you need to know about this.

PETN element in microwave

Perhaps this option is the most common. It is usually located at the top of the device. But in many, especially modern models, it is movable. This version of the microwave oven has some advantages. First of all, it is easy to care for. The work surface is easy to clean and the actions associated with this do not cause much difficulty.

Quartz grill

The main advantage of microwave ovens with a quartz grill is that they consume significantly less energy. In addition, their location does not reduce the volume of the working chamber. This is undoubtedly a big advantage. Cooking dishes in such models takes much longer, but they are cooked much better. If someone decides to purchase just such a stove, they should know that the housewife will not be able to wash the grill itself, since it has a hidden location. But this does not in any way affect the efficiency of work, since everything that falls on it will simply burn out over a certain period of time.

Ceramic grill

Most likely, it should be considered not as the main, but as an additional element of the microwave oven. With its presence, heating elements improve their performance. Cooked products in such an oven are more juicy in nature and have a golden brown crust. A significant drawback is that such models consume a lot of electrical energy. In addition, they require a much larger amount of kitchen space.

No matter what type of grill it is, it cannot work without installing a fan inside. It serves to mix the hot air heated by the heating element and lamp, and this, in turn, is necessary for better cooking. You need to understand that models with a grill cost much more than those without it. Therefore, the financial aspect leaves a certain imprint on the choice when buying a microwave.
