convection microwave in MH
Just saw a U tube video about a full timer that was complaining about his convection microwave venting into the mh. I asked my wife about ours and she said ours is the same. Thankfully she doesn't use...

For convection cooking, I was under the general impression that little venting if any is really expected. The purpose of the fan for convection baking is to circulate the hot air in the oven, not to pull it out (so more air comes in and needs to be heated). Similarly, for microwaving, the fan is used not so much to ventilate the oven cavity as to cool the magnetron (and other parts of the microwave oven circuitry).
A convection microwave often is also a range hood, and for that function venting inside or outside can make a very noticeable difference in how much moisture accumulates in the RV.
I would Have to AGREE - this is the Correct Info - a convection Oven Does Not Vent????????????????????????
I Cook, and am puzzled by the question/statement.
Vents, vent, some may be directed to the interior of the kitchen then it is just a Blower. Ovens, cook, Convection is just using a fan to keep the heat even, cooking faster.
Definition of Convection Cooking - "A convection oven circulates hot air with a fan. Unlike conventional radiant (also called thermal) ovens, convection ovens have a fan that continuously circulates air through the oven cavity. When hot air is blowing onto food, as opposed to merely surrounding it, the food tends to cook more quickly".
What am I missing????????????,
You are correct. The OP did not explain the venting correctly. The Vent Fan system is for pulling air in the bottom screens and exhausting out the backside(external) or to the Interior. Convection uses an interior fan to circulate the air like you described. Doug
