Micowave Convection Oven

Use it all the time, including doing a turkey breast for our thanksgiving dinner out camping last fall.  Use the metal plate when cooking in convection or conv/micro combination modes but make sure to remove it if you are just going to use the microwave by itself ... microwaves and metal do not mix.  The programming takes a bit of time to figure out but it isn't too complicated.  The instruction book that comes with it is informative for about the first 2 uses and then got set aside.  As others have stated cooking in a convection oven is slightly different than cooking in a regular oven.  When cooking less than 15 minutes and 350 degrees it runs pretty much true to a regular oven, but if you are going to cook hotter or longer than that you will normally need to make some adjustments to either your cooking time (shorter) or temp (cooler).

  We too use the microwave often the convection option we use the pizza button for frozen pizza's. Would be nice to have a oven at times for somethings but what we have works great.    David and Danette
