How to model a microwave vent in blender 2.8?

[shan jay]

Right now I am modelling a microwave But i am having problems of creating the Vents first i tired the boolean modifier. It looked good at first but there were no holes in it then i pushed it inwards it created a hole but it was very unrealistic. Does any body have an idea on how to model the vents?

And with very little effort you already have something like this:

Depending on how close you get to it, you can make more or less detail
