Compare Convection Oven Microwaves

A convection oven microwave looks similar to a regular microwave but cooks differently. With a convection oven microwave, you can actually roast meat and bake in the microwave. Some of the units even come with grill racks. This type of microwave cooks quicker and more evenly than a traditional microwave. Some convection microwave ovens can cook a pizza in half the time of a conventional oven. Convection oven microwaves are also typically more expensive than standard microwaves, with prices ranging between $170 and $1,200 as of 2011.

  Look at the specs of the microwaves to determine which models meet your needs, don't meet your needs, and exceed your needs. This allows you to remove some models from your list and seriously consider only those that meet or exceed your needs. Specs are typically listed on the manufacturer website as well as on a card or sheet in stores. Specs that may interest you include the size of the microwave, the size of the turntable, if it comes with any racks or pans, and the number of watts of power.
