Convection microwave


A convection microwave is a combination of a standard microwave oven and a convection oven which can heat the outside of food to higher temperatures than a conventional microwave.

Food cooked in the convection microwave can be cooked quickly, as in an ordinary microwave oven, yet come out browned or crisped as in a convection oven. Although some microwaves contain electric browning baking elements, a true convection microwave has a high velocity forced-air fan to circulate the hot air uniformly.

However, most cakes cannot be baked in a microwave oven – only those without an open grain structure, such as brownies.

Convection microwave ovens were initially considered to be high-end kitchen appliances. Over time their price has dropped, and they can be bought for around the same price as a conventional oven. However, some models do require more space than a standard microwave, because of the larger cooking area inside.

Companies such as Wolf, GE, Sharp, Samsung, Panasonic, LG, Galanz, Bellini, and Daewoo all currently produce convection microwaves.
