Every commercial kitchen need a high functioning commercial microwave! Unlike many residential, conventional, or retail, microwaves, Amana commercial microwaves are stainless steel, and are designed to withstand the day-to-day rigors of a food service operation. The most basic options in restaurant microwaves can be narrowed down to four - heavy duty, medium duty, light duty, and steamer microwaves. Heavy and medium duty microwaves have a higher wattage, and are built to heat fast and often - perfect for large scale operations. Steamer microwaves are great for larger operations that require a steaming option. Light duty microwaves are engineered for simple operations - lighter volume, and/or self-service. They are perfect for cafeterias and break rooms. All commercial microwave ovens have different design features, such as one-touch cooking, dial timers, variable power levels, and energy distribution. If space is a concern, consider a microwave that is stackable. Look for easy to clean, and UL or ETL listings
