4. Convection Microwave Oven.

A Convection microwave oven has at least two modes – one is a standard microwave mode used to heat or cook food. The second is a convection mode that transforms your microwave into a convection oven. While a regular microwave limits one to only heating and cooking certain types of food, a convection microwave oven gives more freedom to cook complex meals or bake dessert. Additionally, these ovens also achieve the job much more quickly!  

This difference in cooking speeds is much more noticeable in the Hafele J34MWO Plus microwave with grill and convection. Not only does it give you the benefit of both grill and convection, but it also takes a fraction of the time to cook food in comparison to other models in the market. This can especially be seen while cooking meats. While regular ovens can take about 20 minutes to cook meat per pound, this convection microwave oven can cook it in about half the time!

Since you won't be able to brown or crisp food in a regular steam oven, we bring you the power of combi-steam ovens that integrate the use of steam cooking in modern microwave ovens. A combi-steam oven is an all in one full function oven that allows you to cook with steam, convection, microwave or a combination of all three. It comes with a water canister, and the water inside it is turned into steam to quickly cook your food.

Such ovens are a great option for health enthusiasts! This is because steam cooking locks in the moisture, vitamins and minerals to give you a much more nutritious meal.
