I use a 1000 watt inverter to run an 800 watt household microwave . You can then use the inverter to run lots of other things as well such as laptops tvs etc .

Just keep in mind, when you

Just keep in mind, when you make either hot or cold via 12 or 24 volts, then that's the time when your batteries get sucked down the most. Our motor home when it gets built will only have microwave running options during periods of the generator running. So that said, go with an inverter and a 240v microwave as already said, but keep in mind, it will drain your battery very quickly. Have a quick look at his page and see if it makes some sense.
