Convection microwave?

[mmblz]

I've never had one. Someone please tell me about them...
Can it cook just like a regular oven, or is it not that simple?

its a combo of a microwave and a convection oven, it cooks quick like a mic, but it can come out crispy like an oven (if crispy s what yer going for)

I was lookin at them for fun, but i'm fine with my normal mic

have a brand new one and never used the convection part

i am planning on doing lasagna and garlic bread next monday, so i'll let you know

from the manual, you can use it as a microwave, a convection oven or both at the same time.

Should be interesting

I love having one, it's a mic when you want it
an oven when you want.

I have a real oven too but this is a lot faster for little things. Works well enough. I'd never do a meal on it being picky but warming up pizza, tater tots etc it's grand.

anyone else?

can you make toast in it?

just cooked lasagna and garlic bread in the new convection oven....it sucked :)

It didn't seem to cook it any differently than microwaving. Garlic bread read wasn't crispy and the lasagna tasted reheated.

Won't be using it again for actually cooking anything LOL!

I hope this helps

In addition to installing a new oven that does convection - we also installed one of the microwave/convection combination's. Reason for this was to keep my wife from insisting on a double oven that she would only use once or twice a year.

So this year at Thanksgiving, Christmas - she was able to put the metal racks in the microwave and use it as a warming oven while cooking in the main oven. In addition I installed a regular microwave in the pantry. So she has options.

So the verdict from here is: She likes it - but nobody in the house uses it to actually cook anything as far as I know. She does however use the main oven on the convection setting at times since she figured it out - and it works great as far as I can tell.

Personally I haven't used it nor the new oven - haven't figured them out yet - LOL
