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. Looking for a new 24-26 inch wide 1000 watt under cabinet hanging microwave but cant find one. The 30 inch wide over range microwave is too big to fit under cabinet between the cabinet to left and right of it. I bought Microhearth grill, but I only have a 800 watt microwave oven.

You would have to try it. I would assume it would take 20-30 percent longer to heat up so figure 4 minutes on a side for steak. Not sure if it would effect how hot it gets, but I would assume so.

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..

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!

There is only a one page info sheet. I put mine in the microwave for six minutes and that works great. That is for a 750 watt one. 2 1/2 min for 1,000-1,500 watts. Four to five min for 800-900 watts. Clean with damp cloth. You can probably go on line to find more info.

http://www.microwavecookingforone.com/Charts/ This will give you a better gauge for starting off on cook times. I haven't bought this product yet so I don't know what the wattage is the recipes were based upon, but reading around says many recipes for the microwave assume 700-750 watts. Having a 1000 watt microwave myself, I found this chart on the web and it should help you in converting any recipe times. Still, output will not be the same exactly among all in the universe of ovens, so its still reasonable to keep your eye and nose on your cooking and make any adjustments you need to. The chart should be helpful to adapt other recipes you find as well.

Hi, there. We are remodeling our kitchen and I can't find anything. Interesting, this is my third one in 35 years and never put it in the microwave, always the oven. I'll get back to you when I find it. I know it would not fit in my smaller microwave.

The microwave works perfectly on "shore" power and is currently working on a 1000w Modified Square Wave inverter. It's noisy and takes longer to cook, but other than that it's fine. I've been using microwave ovens on msw inverters for over 20 years and haven't had one fail yet. I spent 1 month in Alaska with this setup and used the microwave multiple times per day without a problem. I believe the 1000 watt msw inverter is able to run the microwave where the pure sine wave will not is due to the "surge capacity" of the msw. Both inverters are drawing about 100 amps at the 12v source. This means a cheap 600 or 700 watt Wal-Mart microwave is actually drawing 1200 watts, allowing for inefficiency in the inverter. I've owned lots of inverters and there is a HUGE difference in what they can actually run. Pure sine wave inverters all seem to be overrated. I have two 1500 watt msw inverters right now. One is a Cobra and the other is branded, "Trisonic". The weird, never-heard-of Chinese brand, "Trisonic" will run my worm drive skill saw, and the Cobra immediately shuts down with an overload condition. Sorry I went on for so long, but I hope this is helpful to someone.

The microwave is smaller than we thought 19wx10.5H,the face plate is 23x15. You need space because it gets it air from the frount, you may have to trim out around the area. Check rv and marine dealers for better selection. The mfg was for rv. It had a smell for a couple months. It also has a knocking noise when certain plates are put in. We replaced a built in with this unit. For the price it was great, service avg to below avg.

The maximum tempurature is a 1000watt microwave. Mine is 800 and it works fine.

It comes with a very limited one - experience is the best teacher when it comes to this fryer. The power of your micro wave makes a big difference in the performance of the Microhearth. My micro wave is 1350 watts and will cook a hotdog in about two minutes, a burger in about 4 minutes and decent size steak in well done in 6 minutes.

I've used it for months in a 1200 W microwave. No problems. I hadn't seen the W limit before

Basically they recommend the increased depth so that the microwave doesn't overheat. If it doesn't have space to breath it could get too hot. also, check out the parts included I.e. tray the microwave sits on... They may also be deeper than 16"

I have a very tiny kitchen, with very limited counter spaces the microwave needed to sit in a small utility table. I would have liked.a little larger one. The dimensions are a little smaller than stated, they 18 W 12 1/2 D 11 H.My problem was the first one that was sent to me didn't work, I had to return it. I'm am elderly so that turned out to be a real hassle for me. The second one ,so far, works very well. It's a bit more tinny than I would have liked. Hope this helps with your decision.

We are using the same setting and time as is recommended by the manufacturer for cooking loose potatoes (no bag). That is 4 minutes on high for two medium sized. Our microwave is rated at 1000 watts on the high setting. Many smaller MW's are 750 watts and it would take longer. Also, we wash them and leave wet not damp...more steam.

I think you would enjoy the Samsung over the range microwave but I think you are looking for something to take the 4 inches on each side so look for some vent covers that match your decor this would let your unit stay cooler. I hope this helped and I have had no problems with this microwave since I purchased it. ater Scott

There's a small recipe book with about 38 recipes that doesn't include any for fried potatoes so you'd have to experiment to see if you could get fries the way you like. I tried browning grated potatoes tossed with a small amount of oil and got minimal browning - less than I could easily get on the stove. I think garlic bread could be tricky as the garlic could easily burn in contact with the bottom of the pan. There is a recipe for a breakfast sandwich (like a McMuffin) that includes toasting buttered English muffins buttered side down. If your microwave's power isn't very close to 1000-1200 watts cooking times could be different.

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!
