FAQ
When choosing a countertop convection microwave, consider features such as multiple cooking modes, sensor cooking, preset programs, easy-to-use controls, and a turntable for even heating. Some models also offer combination cooking, grill functions, and steam options for added versatility.
A countertop convection microwave can handle many tasks typically done in a traditional oven, such as baking, roasting, and grilling, thanks to its convection feature. However, for very large meals or specific recipes, you may still prefer a full-sized oven.
Convection cooking uses a fan to circulate hot air around the food, allowing for browning, crisping, and even cooking, similar to a traditional oven. Standard microwave cooking uses microwaves to heat food quickly but doesn't brown or crisp the food.
For microwave mode, use microwave-safe containers such as glass, ceramic, or certain plastics. When using convection or combination modes, you can also use metal bakeware, but always refer to the manufacturer's guidelines for your specific model.
You can prepare a wide variety of foods, including baked goods, roasted meats, casseroles, vegetables, pizzas, and reheated leftovers. The convection feature allows for more versatility compared to standard microwaves.
