Reheating with the GE Profile Series Countertop Microwave Oven

2013-11-08
a CNN I'm right christ--and this is the GE Profile series 2.2 cubic foot countertop microwave oven this is a very big microwave it's got a 16 inch turntable inside of it and a lot of space to it so you're gonna need a lot of room in your counter but it's a very good microwave it's got power to it it's got some smart settings and we were pretty impressed with how it cooked I'm not sure that it's enough of an upgrade over the standard microwave you probably have already to justify the cost though this thing is three hundred and fifty nine dollars and if you want a little bit less you can get it for 309 without the stainless steel finish in terms of its cooking power it does a pretty decent job it behaves like most other microwaves it'll make popcorn it'll make frozen dinners it'll make hot pockets but it doesn't do it a whole lot better than the average microwave and that was a bit disappointing one thing that we were impressed with though was the fact that it's got moisture sensors and these can detect how much steam is escaping your food and then automatically cook it for the right amount of time so you just put the thing in hit one button and it'll do the rest with reheating this did especially well so if you have leftovers that you want to cook this is a great microwave we tried out Little Caesars Pizza that was neither hot nor ready and it did a great job it made really good gooey melty pizza that we enjoyed eating and it also did well with bigger sized entrees that took advantage of the high capacity we had a big tray of enchiladas we had Salisbury steak we had cheddar potato casserole and it was able to figure out how long to cook all of them and that was very impressive to us however you have to remember this is a three hundred and $59 microwave and that's a lot more than other upgraded microwaves were looking at it doesn't have convection or inverter tech it's just a basic microwave that has these moisture sensors and has a lot of capacity to it so if that's enough for you if you want to cook a lot of food for a lot of people and do it pretty easily with those sensors it's not a bad microwave but we've seen microwaves from other brands like a manna that also have moisture sensors and can automatically detect your foods cooking time and they cost a lot less so I'm not sure that I can recommend this microwave but still I was impressed with it I liked using it so give it a look and see if it's right for you Christina I'm rec wrist
