- Is this a convection microwave or a regular one?
- It is both. It works as a standard 1000-watt microwave and adds a convection mode for baking and roasting.
- How does it compare with a basic 1000-watt microwave?
- It does everything a basic microwave does and adds convection baking, but it costs more, takes up more space and is louder in convection mode.
- Will it fit under my upper cabinets?
- It is 22 inches wide and a countertop unit, so check your clearance above and behind it. Convection mode needs room for ventilation.
- Do I need to preheat it for convection cooking?
- Yes. Convection mode should be preheated before baking, which adds time compared with microwave-only cooking.
- What can I cook in convection mode?
- Baked goods, roasted vegetables, chicken and casseroles work well. Use microwave-safe or oven-safe cookware as the mode requires.
- Is the interior big enough for a large casserole dish?
- The 1.5 cu ft interior fits most large casserole dishes and dinner plates, though check the turntable diameter for oversized pans.
