Convection microwaves allow you to cook with both microwave and convection (method used by an ordinary oven). The convection has a heating element and fan that distributes heat to cook food more quickly. They are extremely convenient for a large family household as they offer a variety of cooking options that an ordinary microwave could not. They are a little more pricey than conventional microwave ovens but they are well worth the extra as they allow you to brown and crisp meats while preserving their juiciness and prevents drying out, permit baking, and can speed up cooking time for larger meals.

Convection is a means of cooking that involves circulating hot air around foods. It may be used alone or combined with microwave cooking to add speed to the cooking process. This method allows even crisping and browning of foods.
