Commercial microwave ovens are designed for heavier use than domestic models. They are built with more durable materials, have higher wattages, and offer more advanced features that can handle the demands of a commercial kitchen.

There are usually three main options: light duty, medium duty and heavy duty. Light-duty ones, like this commercial microwave oven from Panasonic, are typically used in commercial kitchens and restaurants to heat up leftovers, make popcorn, and other small batches of food. Heavy-duty microwaves, like this Robatherm commercial microwave oven, are typically used in factories, hotels, hospitals, and other large-scale operations that require the microwave to run continuously for long periods of time.

Commercial microwave ovens are ideal for reheating precooked food, defrosting frozen items, and cooking simple dishes like soups and stews.

If you need multiple commercial microwaves, we recommend looking for models that are stackable or come with built-in shelving. This will help you save on space and keep your kitchen organised. Some of our top picks for multiple microwave setups include the Anvil heavy duty commercial microwave oven and the Panasonic NE-1878 inverter microwave oven.

If you're running a restaurant, you need equipment that can handle the demands of your busy kitchen. That's why we recommend investing in a commercial microwave oven. Here are just a few of the reasons why:

• Speed: When you're working in a fast-paced environment, time is of the essence. A commercial microwave oven allows you to quickly and efficiently heat up or cook a variety of dishes, which can be a real lifesaver during busy periods.
• Designed for heavy use: Unlike traditional microwave ovens, which are not typically designed for heavy-duty use, commercial microwaves are built to withstand the demands of a busy restaurant kitchen.
• Memory: Many commercial microwave ovens can store hundreds of recipes, allowing your staff to cook, bake, reheat and more at the touch of a button, without needing to know what settings or temperatures to set.
• Versatility: A commercial microwave oven is much more than just a tool for reheating leftovers. With different power levels and cooking settings, you can use it for cooking or reheating a wide range of dishes, from soups and sauces to meats and vegetables.
• Energy efficiency: Unlike traditional ovens, which can take a long time to heat up and use a lot of energy to maintain their temperature, a commercial microwave oven heats food directly, reducing energy waste and keeping your utility bills low.

Overall, a commercial microwave oven is an essential tool for any restaurant looking to improve its efficiency, speed, and versatility in the kitchen. At Restaurant Equipment Online, we offer a wide range of top-quality commercial microwave ovens from trusted brands, so you can find the perfect one for your business.

In most cases, yes. But it's important to choose a model from a reputable manufacturer that offers a warranty, and to have it serviced by a qualified technician.

A turntable can be helpful in allowing for even cooking and preventing hot spots. However, some commercial ovens offer other features such as rotating antennas or dual magnetrons that can provide even heating without the use of a turntable.

A turntable microwave, as the name suggests, has a rotating plate inside that ensures even heating and prevents hot spots. This makes it great for cooking and reheating items like soup, stews, and casseroles. On the other hand, a flatbed option, like this commercial microwave oven from Panasonic, doesn't have a rotating plate, which means you have more usable space inside and can fit larger dishes or multiple items at once. This makes it a great choice for busy kitchens that need to heat up larger quantities of food.

Of course, both options come with their own set of features and benefits, so it really depends on your specific needs and preferences. At Restaurant Equipment Online, we offer a range of commercial microwave ovens, including both turntable and flatbed models, from top brands like Menumaster and Samsung. With our wide selection and expert support, you'll have everything you need to choose the perfect microwave oven for your restaurant. So why wait?

Manual microwaves are cheaper but require more work on behalf of the chef since they must manually set the time and temperature every time they use them instead of having preset options available like programmable microwaves do. 

Programmable models, like this USB programmable commercial microwave oven from Robatherm, are great for those who have regular batches that they want to repeat over and over—they'll save time, so you don't have to enter every single time manually.

The good news is that commercial microwaves are generally easy to clean and maintain. Most models have removable turntables and are designed with stainless steel construction, making them durable and easy to wipe down. You should also follow the manufacturer's recommendations for cleaning and maintenance, which typically involves wiping down the interior with a damp cloth and cleaning the exterior with a stainless steel cleaner.

The cost of a commercial microwave oven can vary widely depending on the model and brand you choose. However, at Restaurant Equipment Online, we offer a range of options to fit different budgets and needs from as little as $200 to all the way up to $12,500 and more. And with the time and labour savings that come with using a commercial microwave, most restaurant owners find that the investment is well worth it in the long run.

The wattage of a microwave can vary significantly from model to model, so it's important to check this number before making any purchases! If the wattage is too low for what you need, it might not heat up properly or quickly enough. If you're looking at light-duty microwaves, they typically range from 500-1000 watts, while heavy-duty commercial microwaves range from 1000-2000 watts. Always remember to read the product description and specifications before purchasing and knowing what plug is or is not included with your electrical appliances. Many microwaves have 15 amp plugs which will not fit regular household electrical sockets.

Commercial microwaves can be as small as 17 litres. If you're frequently cooking large meals for lots of people, then a larger capacity one like this 34Ltr Apuro medium-duty programmable commercial microwave can be a great option. If not, though, then a smaller capacity model may be more appropriate.
