Microwave oven capacity:
Microwave oven capacity is measured in liters and hence we should be only looking at microwave oven capacity in Liters when we are looking for the best product. Basic models that can serve up to 2 to 4 Members in the family have a capacity of 15 to 20 Liters. But if we need more capacity then obviously the microwave oven is intended to serve a greater number of members in your family.

For a family of 4 to 6 members, the ideal capacity one should look for is 25 to 30 liters and if in case there are increasing cooking options the capacity of 32 liters and above microwave ovens are preferable. Mostly 25 to 30 Liters of capacity can be used to cook, reheat food, milk, tea, coffee, Rice, Noodles, pasta and popcorn.
