Convection microwave

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A convection microwave is a combination of a standard microwave oven, and a convection oven. It allows food cooked in the convection microwave to be cooked quickly, yet come out browned or crisped, as in a convection oven. For example, a convection microwave oven can be preheated to bake cakes whereas it is not possible with standard microwave ovens.

Convection microwaves were initially considered to be high-end kitchen appliances. They were more expensive than a conventional microwave. Over time the price of convection microwaves has dropped and can be bought for around the same price as a conventional microwave.

Companies such as Wolf, GE, Sharp, and Panasonic all currently produce convection microwaves.
