Convection cooking

They are smaller than traditional microwaves, however they offer a range of extra features that permit you to bake, roast and grill your food. Some models come with a broil element that allows you to add an instant golden brown tinge to food.
Convection heating can also be found in a high-quality combi microwave to speed up cooking and improve the flavor. This is particularly useful if you want to reduce the loss of moisture while baking a cake or roasted meats.
It is also important to consider the capacity of the combi microwave when making your decision. It's based on the number of people you cook for regularly and the frequency with which your family eats meals. A large combi microwave with a high power rating is ideal for larger households.

Defrosting
A built-in microwave is the best option for those who want to make the most of cooking. Not only are these multi-functional appliances able of defrosting, cooking and grilling food, but they also offer many innovative functions that enable you to achieve a wide range of outcomes.
Microwave ovens are great for defrosting food quickly and evenly. The majority of models have an Defrost setting. This setting usually will prompt you to input the type of food and its weight, calculating the ideal time to defrost in accordance with these parameters. Alternately, you can utilize the manual defrost function by placing your food items on a microwave-safe plate and following the instructions on your microwave's interactive display.
The defrost mode in a microwave functions by cycling the magnetron-which generates high frequency that turn food on and off. In contrast to other settings, the defrost mode employs lower power levels (around 20% to 30 percent of the appliance's overall output) which allows it to melt food slowly and not overcook it. It is possible to rotate your food or break down larger pieces of meat in order to ensure an even defrosting.
It is important to keep in mind that thawing food in the refrigerator can take longer than using a microwave, but it does have the benefit of cooking the rest of your meal while it is defrosting. It is also important to keep in mind that letting the meat you have defrosted sit out at room temperature for too long can cause bacteria to develop. Defrosting meat for an time or more before cooking is a good way to plan ahead. To help you plan, most microwaves have a useful timer feature that shows how long is left in the defrosting process.
