# How to Determine Microwave Oven Size
Microwave size is determined by the cubic feet of the oven's interior cavity. A small microwave will measure less than 1 cubic foot; larger microwaves can measure 2 cubic feet or more. Knowing your microwave's size will help you determine whether you can cook large items, such as a whole chicken or turkey.

1
Open the door of your microwave and measure the length, width and height in inches of the interior cavity.
-
2
Use your calculator to multiply the length by the width by the height to get the total in cubic inches.
-
3
Divide the cubic inches by 1,728, which is the volume of a cubic foot. The resulting number will be your microwave's measurement in cubic feet. If you do not want to do the math, you can use a conversion calculator such as the one available on the Metric Conversions website (see Resources).
