[net.cooks] Convection Oven Inquiry

ben@ihuxm.UUCP (11/22/83)

Does anyone have or know of someone with a convection or microwave-convection
oven?  I'm thinking of getting a microwave-convection but don't really know
if it offers any more than a plain microwave.

Thanks in advance.

I don't know that much about them either; from what I understand, the
convection ovens heat food in more traditional ways than microwave ovens,
but go through pains to distribute the hot air more evenly.

For example, you can bake things like bread in a convection oven but not in
a microwave. (The recipe for the convection oven needs to be modified somewhat
from the recipe for a normal oven, though.)
