Panasonic NN-T990SA 2.2-Cubic-Foot 1300-Watt Microwave, Stainless Steel

A luxurious 2.2 cubic feet in size, this stainless-steel finish Panasonic microwave provides ample room, versatile programming, and finely tuned cooking power. One of its most attractive features is the Inverter cooking technology. While many microwaves deliver lower power levels by firing full force, then letting food sit while the clock winds down, Panasonic's Inverter models actually adjust power output for the full duration of cooking time. The result is 10 true power levels, more even cooking, and minimal icy or hot spots. Inverter Turbo defrost also dramatically reduces defrosting time and produces more consistent results. To complement the Inverter technology, this oven features the Genius sensor to automatically adjust cooking power and time for up to 18 one-touch food categories. You can also manually program cooking times or cook by food weight or quantity. Other indispensable functions include the popcorn, quick-minute, and keep-warm buttons, as well as menu prompter cues to help you get up to speed on programming. Panasonic also builds in a multilanguage display, adjustable word speed, a child-safety lock, a delay-start function, and a kitchen timer. The oven comes with a 16-1/2-inch glass tray (that goes safely into the dishwasher) and roller ring. --Emily Bedard
