I bought Microhearth grill, but I only have a 800 watt microwave oven. Will it still work and can I warm things besides cooking meals. The manual says cook tikes for 100 to 1200 watt microwaves. My microwave is 16 years old but still works great....

You should be able to use it for grilling, it may just take a little longer, but as it states, it a grill, not a warming pan..

You have to be careful and check the power of you microwave. 2 minutes if for 750W microwave (not sure if exact but it's cose). Our microwave is a 1200W and 2 minutes would be way too much time.

I suppose you could but wouldn't be best suited for that purpose. I wouldn't. It is more of a devise to cook meats. I don't eat much beef but basically use it for chicken breasts; pork chops, salmon and fish. It does great. I haven't had a stove hooked up for 3 years. I have a toaster oven, microwave, nuwave pic and the nuwave mini. It does it for me as a single person who lives alone. It is really a cooker; not like a toaster oven so wouldn't make toast in it.

I couldn't get this microwave to cook at all. I'm giving mine away. I went down to Best Buy and bought a Emerson (the same type) and took out an insurance policy on it!

It will not run my 700 watt microwave. I will be returning mine and trying the 2000 watt version.

Yes, if you don't mind it setting your cabinet on fire! You can buy a bracket set but you should check out the history of these microwaves turning on by themselves and causing spontaneous fires. We have had two fires with GE microwave ovens. The recourse? Why an offer of a new GE microwave oven! No, thank you. Never buying anything from GE again!

I've had mine for years, and it's outlasted at least 3 different microwave ovens. I always set it for a minute a slice. Sometimes I even have to add a minute or two if I'm making a big batch. Sorry you got a lemon!

Sorry but I don't currently have the microwave...left it with my old roommate because the place I moved into had a built in one. I believe it's already set for full power, you just put the time in and hit start

If you mean actual degrees Farenheit, no microwave will tell you that because a microwave does not cook with a heating element. The power levels are low, med-low, medium, med- high and high. There's even a keep-warm feature, which might be a first for a microwave. Beyond that, there are the sensor reheat and cook, and defrost as on most microwaves, with the difference being with the inverter technology. I so far have not cooked anything in the microwave, so I can't comment on how the inverter technology affects cooking.

Yes, it's "close" to a constant 2000 watt. However, you better have a VERY good battery bank. It will actually run above 2000 watts for a short period of time. I have a Kill-a-watt, and I have placed 1800 watt load on it (while I was running the microwave, and the freezer)I would not want to run 2000 watts for more than a few mins at a time, but it will do it for enough time to heat up something in the microwave. Hope that helps.

I can't tell you about the microwave ... i only use the convection oven and it is very good. Would reccommend it.

A microwave oven is either on or off. The "power level" is adjusted by the microwave generator going on and off at intervals, determined by the level you set. If you have a 1050 watt microwave it will consume that many watts while it is on. I would suggest that you get a microwave that rated at less than the output of your generator, say 750 watts. Better safe than sorry.

Hadn't noticed. My issue is that the microwave seems under-powered. How are your cook times?

My microwave is also 1100 watts. I add a good inch of water to any pasta and cook at 90% power for the time on the box. Then check and most likely add another minute or two for al dente. Recently I cooked 12oz. ziti this way and it worked fine.

Hmmm...I just used my hotplate tonight. I have two microwaves: one 800 watts, the other 1000. I heat it on high for two minutes. If what you say is true, I would return it for another. I would suggest asking for a refund, but I love this thing. Be glad no one was hurt! What wattage is the oven? Are you SURE she was using a MICROWAVE, no regular or convection OVEN?

you add about 2 tbs of water and cook about 2 min then check to see if done ..might be a little longer all microwaves are different temps..hope this helps

I strongly suggest that anytime you employ a microwave to heat, or cook, any food or beverage,you must handle it with care, and use a pot holder, or oven mitt!Gee whiz, I would asssume that you would understand that it is going to be very warm, or hot.Is that not what a microwave oven is intended to do?Of course, this is just a suggestion from a person who had to learn his lesson, the hard way!
