Cooking Easy Food With Convection Microwave Oven
The Convection microwave ovens are considered as one of the most favourite kitchen appliances for men because it is easy to use, clean and keep. What is more interesting here is that the inventor of the convection microwave oven happens to be a man, Percy Lebaron Spencer: an American inventor and physicist. Hence, the most prevalent humour to this would be the quote, “Microwave is made by a man, for the men who hate cooking but have to cook anyway”.
Indeed, there is no doubt that it is the easiest to use a cooking appliance that has been designed and manufactured in the last century. Now that particular factor is not made on the basis that you can only heat up and prepare the ready-to-eat food or re-heat (many times) what you cooked.
There is a significant advantage with a microwave that it saves a lot of time, which would otherwise have gone in cooking conventionally. Cooking with a good convection microwave oven is extremely easy for a novice who has never stepped foot in the kitchen or toasted a piece of bread, even.
However, before getting one, not only do you need to know that you can find a microwave oven under 15000, but there are two more things you need to know about cooking with Convection microwave ovens.
1) Microwave Usage: Every microwave is different from another, and they cook differently, depending on their wattage range, which starts from 500 and goes till 1000 and grill microwaves can be useful if you are looking to grill things quickly. However, many microwave models have the built-in sensors which can detect if the food inside has started to burn. But most of the microwaves don’t have such sensors. Hence, do thorough research and go through the various features that would prove to be useful to you.
Also see if you want to use the microwave for cooking complex delicacies or simple ones, for the wattage and temperature specifications along with the cooking time, will make a lot of difference. Thus, knowing clearly what you need and what the microwave will be used to cook would give you a fair idea on what Convection microwave oven you will need to buy.

2) Tricks & Tips: When you are new with microwave usage, you will certainly make a bundle of blunders. There could be terrible disasters which could end in not just spoiled food, but also a lot of cleaning. Thus, knowing the much-applied tricks and fundamental tips would keep the possibilities of unpleasant experiences away. However, some of them are;
– The utensil containing the food should be placed at the glass tray centre, and only the microwave compatible utensils are to be used. Though, it is alright to use cardboard, greaseproof paper and paper towels.
– Do use a bigger dish than the average size if you intend to bake something since the food will expand.
– Avoid metal utensils or containers to cook because they may cause sparks in the microwave.
– Never leave a sauce or thick-liquid in an open dish or utensil because it may spoil, while aluminium foil may not be the best thing to cover the top as well.
