Convection microwave ovens may be more expensive than regular microwave ovens but they are a lot more versatile and have much better cooking results. They are also less expensive than normal convection ovens and take up much less space, making them a great for small kitchens or people who do not do a lot of cooking. By using different cooking techniques offered by these ovens, it is possible to cook almost any dish or type of food in a much reduced time with great results.
First, you must become familiar with the functions and settings of your appliance. Different models of convection microwave ovens come with different features and it is important to read the instructions thoroughly in order to know what settings are best for cooking different types of foods. Most models allow you to switch between microwave setting only, which is great for heating up food quickly; convection only, which is the same as using a normal oven and good for browning and crisping food; and combination cooking which is great for cooking meals both quickly and with a crispy finish.
If you are heating up leftovers, defrosting frozen meals, heating drinks or making popcorn or any other food that you would normally use your microwave for, you should choose the microwave setting. Be sure to use microwave safe dishes and do not leave any metal utensils or foil on the food just as when using a normal microwave.
For baking, roasting meat and vegetables and finishing off food by browning it and making it crispy, the convection functionality comes in handy. You should normally place the food on a rack so that the hot air can circulate around it fully.
For an easy way to cook meals with a great texture and finish in record time, use the combination settings on your microwave convection oven to cook food in a fraction of the time of a conventional oven with a crispy browned exterior. When following recipes for standard ovens just reduce the temperature and the time accordingly - refer to your model instructions for details.
