My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Any heat or moisture issues in the pantry when you do this? Forward venting microwave recommended?

    A microwave doesn't stay hot like an oven. As long as the doors are open while the microwave is running, there will not be a ventilation issue. If it is a microwave that vents in the back, make sure you leave enough room around it for air flow. I've used this solution numerous times and I am not aware of any humidity issues or moisture issues.
