Thanks everybody! Then I will mount the box flush to the wall and make the back of the cabinet open in that area and make a door for the front or a tambour.

Anybody know any code about minimum distance the surrounding wall cabs must be from the stove? I know most wall cabs go 18” above countertop but I do some canning (google Annie’s Salsa) and the pressure canner is pretty tall so was thinking 24” from stove to bottom of OTR microwave, but can the wall cabs surrounding the microwave hang lower?
