What is Convection Microwave Cooking? The convection microwave oven is the ultimate cooking team. This state-of-the-art system brings together the best of both worlds. Enjoy the browning and crisping capabilities of convection plus the speed of microwave cooking. Microwaving brings out the natural flavor of foods and keeps them moist and juicy. Convection cooking adds the advantage of browning and crisping food beautifully. Combination settings LOW MIX and HIGH MIX use convection heat to seal and brown the outside while using microwave energy to make sure the interior is cooked. Breads and cakes are done to perfection; roasts and poultry brown and crisp just right. The results are superior to conventional methods, giving you the widest range of options for creative cooking and timesaving ease. It is not necessary to preheat with combination settings. When you compare foods cooked in a convection microwave oven with those cooked conventionally, you'll discover the advantages of this advanced system. Turkey is an excellent example of the superb results you can achieve with this team. No turning over is needed, and you don't need to baste unless a special seasoning is desired. Turkey roasted conventionally browns well, but white meat often becomes dry in the time needed to cook dark meat completely. Combination settings use hot air roasting for crisp, brown skin plus microwaving speed for moist, juicy meat. Breads and cakes also turn out beautifully. The convection microwave team bakes bread with golden brown, crisp crust and fine texture. Cakes are tender moist and evenly cooked with a nicely browned surface. You can also bake two layers at a time rather than the one-at-a-time method of microwaveonly baking. Low Mix combines convection heat with microwave power for perfect baking results. Use the Low Mix setting for baked goods that require more than 20 minutes baking time. Angel food and bundt cakes, quick breads and yeast breads and large muffins are examples of foods that bake perfectly at this setting. Check the use and care manual for further information. 2 High Mix combines convection heat with microwave power, providing crisp brown exteriors and superior juiciness for meats. Longer-cooking foods, such as roasts, whole turkey and chicken and poultry pieces, cook in about half of the time with just the right amount of browning.
