NN-T694 specifications

The Panasonic NN-T694 microwave oven is a model that stands out in the crowded market of kitchen appliances due to its unique combination of innovative technology, user-friendly features, and sleek design. This countertop microwave offers a generous capacity and is designed to meet the cooking needs of families and individuals alike.

One of the standout features of the NN-T694 is its powerful inverter technology. Unlike traditional microwave ovens that use a simple "on-off" method of cooking, the inverter system provides a continuous supply of power at a precise level. This results in more evenly cooked and defrosted food, as the microwave maintains a consistent temperature throughout the cooking process. This technology is particularly beneficial for delicate items such as seafood and desserts, which can easily be overcooked in standard microwaves.

The NN-T694 boasts a spacious interior capacity of 2.2 cubic feet, allowing users to cook larger dishes and accommodate various cookware sizes. Its 1250 watts of cooking power ensures fast cooking times, while the 16.5-inch turntable promotes even heating by allowing food to rotate during cooking. Additionally, the microwave features a sleek, stainless steel finish that not only adds a modern touch to any kitchen but also enhances durability.

For easy operation, the NN-T694 comes equipped with a user-friendly control panel featuring an array of preset cooking programs. These one-touch settings allow users to quickly select the appropriate cooking time and power level for a variety of common foods, from popcorn to casseroles. The microwave also offers a quick 30-second option, perfect for reheating items without fuss.

Another defining characteristic of the NN-T694 is its compact and countertop-friendly design. It is easy to fit into various kitchen spaces without taking up too much valuable real estate. Additionally, the microwave includes safety features such as a child lock, ensuring that little hands remain safe from accidental use.

Overall, the Panasonic NN-T694 microwave oven combines cutting-edge technologies with thoughtful design elements. Its inverter technology, spacious interior, and user-friendly controls make it an ideal choice for anyone looking to enhance their cooking experience while saving time in the kitchen. Whether for reheating leftovers or preparing full meals, the NN-T694 delivers performance and convenience in one attractive package.
