With its 1.1-cubic-foot capacity, this Panasonic 1,100-watt microwave oven is a straightforward machine for cooks who like it simple but still want room to maneuver. In addition to a defrost function, the unit features 10 easily adjusted power levels. Cooking time is simple to program with the touchpad, while the auto-cook buttons couldn't be clearer: popcorn, potatoes, beverages, fresh vegetables, frozen entrées, and frozen dinners. Preset for standard servings, the auto-cook settings adjust for quantity according to how many times you push the buttons. For added convenience, a quick minute button lets you add intervals of 100 percent power during or at the beginning of the cooking process. The oven also features a kitchen timer, a child safety lock, and multistage cooking functionality, letting you defrost then cook a lasagna, for example. The model comes with an 11-1/4-inch-diameter glass turntable that removes for easy cleaning.
