Types of Microwave Ovens - Convection Vs Conventional Microwave Ovens

Are you looking to replace your old (rather primitive) microwave oven with a new one? Perhaps, you may also invest some bucks to buy a new microwave oven for the first time. The first thing that you have to decide is whether to go for a convection or conventional microwave oven. Therefore, first decide the range of model and you will be clear about the deciding factors before going for a microwave oven. In this brief article, let us discuss some of the differences between convection and conventional microwave ovens.

A magnetron tube powers a basic microwave oven and that emits microwaves which pass through glass containers & plastic containers and are taken up the food. A microwave convection oven makes use of a newer form of technology that integrates basic microwave technology with heat energy that allows you to brown, roast and grill your favourite food. These types of oven also have a heating element besides a fan that helps in the circulation of heated air.

Microwave ovens can also be entrusted upon the task of cooking depending upon the type of food you want to cook. A microwave convection oven is also known as speed-cook model that can also be used to prepare crustier pizzas and juicier pot roasts. Some models also has units that come with a pan used to cook bacon and crisp bread.

Microwave convection ovens are known for their versatility because of their ability to allow consumers to make use of the microwave and heat functions in tandem, but both as separate function. Multiple cooking modes or options in a single wave oven are quickly catching up as a definite trend in microwave oven technology and it is continuously improving to make cooking experience better.

It is a still a matter of personal preference that dictates one whether to go for a conventional microwave or a microwave convection oven though one can expect microwave oven with convection features to be lot more expensive.

Another popular form of heating method integrates microwave with light energy of higher intensity from a quartz halogen bulb as its source to roast food. This method can add colour and taste to meat at the same time accelerating the time taken for cooking.
