The main difference between a manual and digital microwave is how the controls are operated.
Manual Microwave:
- Uses physical dials to control the cooking time and power level.
- Simple and straightforward to operate.
- The cooking time is usually set by turning a timer dial.
Digital Microwave:
- Uses electronic buttons or a digital control panel.
- Allows you to set the cooking time and power level more precisely.
- Usually includes a digital display showing the cooking time.
- May offer additional functions or preset cooking programmes, depending on the model.
Both types of microwave can be used to heat and cook food. The best option depends on your preferred controls and the features you require.
