Panasonic NN-T965SF Luxury Full-Size 2.2-Cubic-Foot 1,250-Watt Microwave Oven, Stainless

Cheap Panasonic NN-T965SF Luxury Full-Size 2.2-Cubic-Foot 1,250-Watt Microwave Oven, Stainless Review

Be sure that you have an electrical line/socket dedicated to the microwave or have a large enough breaker since this oven draws 1250 watts. Having a 20 amp breaker, we cannot run the microwave in the kitchen and a 1000 watt hair dryer in the bathroom at the same time!
You can program the microwave on a warming setting--food doesn't dry out and is ready for the stragglers coming to the table late or after dinner is over.
Turntable and interior cavity is so large you can cook several items at once or cook something in a 9 by 15 dish without it hitting the sides of the oven.
There are no knobs or dials on the control panel so it is very easy to keep clean.
Instructions are on the display so you can skip the manual and still use most of the features right out of the box.
I have yet to figure out by how much to reduce the cooking time since this unit cooks so quickly. Each time cook, I reduce the cooking time and each time find that less time would have been ok. Not a bad problem to have. Time to get out the manual!
Addendum: Since first writing this review in Jan. 2006, I have used sensor cooking mode which pretty much eliminates having to set an amount of time and eliminates having to guess at cooking powers, especially when several levels of cooking power are required(one example is rice--see below).
I have never been good at cooking rice. I have discovered that by selecting "side dish" and then "white rice" I can make perfect, fluffy rice. 2 1/2 cups of water and 1 cup of rice in a 2 - 1/2 quart covered round pyrex bowl. No more burned pots and no more gummy rice! I like that it is all automatic .

Panasonic NN-T965SF Luxury Full-Size 2.2-Cubic-Foot 1,250-Watt Microwave Oven, Stainless Specifications

This gigantic microwave oven services the family that is constantly eating on the run but has gourmet tastes that go beyond packaged frozen dinners. It is true that the oven takes up a great deal of counter space (measurements are 23-7/8 by 14 by 19-7/16 inches) but much of that space can be attributed to the large interior capacity of 2.2 cubic feet, which can fit an entire meal. The oven operates on a powerful 1,250 watts for quicker cooking and defrosting and has an attractive stainless-steel front and reflective door that looks appropriate in a professional-style kitchen.

Most home chefs will find new and innovative features on this microwave that blow away the offerings on their previous models. To figure out the best way to cook a particular food, cooks can access step-by-step instructions on the Menu Action screen. The multi-lingual screen displays information in English, Spanish, or French on how to perform a function. Panasonic's One-Touch Sensor Cooking feature takes the guesswork out of microwave cooking by calculating cooking and reheating times automatically based on the amount of steam released. As part of Panasonic's Inverter Technology, the oven also incorporates a linear power control for even heat distribution so frozen macaroni and cheese doesn't get hot around the perimeter and remain cold in the center during cooking and frozen chicken breasts don't cook around the edges during defrosting. Another major innovation in microwave technology is a warming and simmering feature that delivers low-temperature heat to keep food such as pies, casseroles, or gravy warm without overcooking them. For cooks who are looking for a shortcut but don't want to sacrifice gourmet cooking, this microwave is an excellent option. This luxury microwave oven is covered by Panasonic under a one-year limited warranty while the Magnetron tube has an extended warranty of up to five years. --Cristina Vaamonde
