What are some innovations worth considering?
If your son or daughter is too young to use a microwave, be sure the oven has a child lockout feature. It’s easy to use: Adults have to press a sequence of buttons (1234, for example) before being able to operate the appliance. Manufacturers have been coming out with space-saving multitasking microwaves that are intriguing. For example, some machines double as convection ovens. Others are equipped with a built-in coffee maker or toaster. There is even one with a rotisserie.
