microwave/convection

Our microwave quit and need to replace it. Can someone tell me if the micro/convection is worth the extra money? What can you do with the convection oven versus your lp oven?

  • If you have an oven it may not be worth the extra cost, however, you may also find you now only use your oven for bigger fixings. Obviously, you will not have to use your propane to cook in the oven, but the convection part also cooks very evenly and often faster. You can also use a combination of microwave and conventional cooking if you want fast cooking. We have only the combo and no oven and we fix full holiday dinners from small turkey and stuffing to the yams, crescent rolls and all. We updated ours from a Sharp (which was good) to a GE Profile and much prefer this unit. Get one with a couple of racks (not just one) if possible for a bit of added flexibility.
  • The DW liked her Micro/convec so much that we had the regular oven removed from our RV and storage space added. There is nothing that she can not do with the micro/convec that she could do with LP oven. When we bought a new range for the S&B, it was a convection model.
