   Alen A-28CB convection microwave

   • ANSWER:
     I have one and It functions differently depending on the cook mode. Yes you can use metal in it ONLY in convection cooking mode. What is the brand name and model, maybe I can help you find an E-manual

     I was able to find the company, but it looks to only do air purifiers and such

4. QUESTION:
   Can somebody tell me the difference between a convection/microwave oven and a plain old microwave oven.?
   What are the benefits and drawbacks of the convection/microwave oven. I want to go buy one right now, but I want to make sure that I am doing the right thing before I replace my old microwave oven.

   • ANSWER:
     This might not be the perfect answer, but as I understand it a convection oven superheats the air inside and that, combined with microwaves can brown, bake, and cook at a more complete level than just microwaves alone.

     If you've ever cooked pizza in an old-style microwave, you'll know the crust comes out like wet cardboard. So combine the speed of microwaving, with the heat of the convection (heated air) and you have a better crust, and more versatile cooking instrument. HTH

5. QUESTION:
   Microwave/Convection Oven: Can you use the microwave right after using the convection oven and visa versa?

10. QUESTION:
    Any idea where I can find a user manual for a Panasonic Microwave/convection oven?
    I was just given a Madame Grille, panasonic Microwave / convection oven. It didn't come with a user manual. I know it's an older oven and I can't find the model number on it.

    I have sent an email to Panasonic requesting info as well.

    Any other ideas?

    • ANSWER:
      Get a screwdriver and unfasten the control panel from the front of the microwave. Uses either a torx or a phillips screw. You should look for a white or cream colored envelope that contains a schematic and a operators manual in geek form; that is techno language.

11. QUESTION:
    Convection/ Microwave oven?
    I have a microwave/ convection oven and I would like to cook a whole chicken in it, using just the convection feature.

    Being that the chicken has to sit on a rack that is on top of a shallow round metal pan, is there any way to make decent gravy from the chicken?

12. QUESTION:
    cooking brownies in a microwave convection oven?
    I have had no luck with brownies. I have cooked them with just convection on the setting the box recommends and the time. They looked done on the outside, but were not done on the inside. How do you cook with the mix/bake setting. My understanding is that it will microwave and convect. But how do you know how long to cook them.

    • ANSWER:
      I would NEVER microwave brownies.

13. QUESTION:
    Convection/Toaster Microwave Oven, which one do you prefer?
    I'm curious as to what experiences people have with Convection Microwave Ovens, I need it to make toast, on normal size bread and on larger breads and to use like a microwave to pop popcorn, hot water for tea, heat up foods quickly... etc

    So far my online search has led me to believe that the Sharp models are the better made ones, but what do you think? and what are you experiences?

    • ANSWER:
      The combined convection-microwave is becoming very popular in the newer built homes. I have heard nothing but good things about them. You will need to study the booklet as the convection does not work the way a regular oven does. I'm not sure are toast. You might want to see one in action before you buy.

14. QUESTION:
    If I buy a new combo microwave/convection oven now, will it live 24 years like the old one that died today?
    Yup, after 24 years it decided to blow sparks today and cease breathing. I'm heartbroken. The combination cooking using convection and microwave together, produced amazing results. And the convection on it's own was the best oven I ever used. RIP darling. Do they make them like they used to and if I buy one today, how long will it last?

    • ANSWER:
      No, they don't make them like they used to. Now that the technology has fully matured, as well as due to advancements in engineering, it is easier to make one significantly cheaper that will, on the average, last only as long as necessary. "As necessary" probably is based on statistical info like how long the average person wants to keep a microwave, or what design life or mean time between failure (MTBF) should we design for to maximize profits. Kinda sux, huh? Back in the day, there were more unknowns, which meant that microwaves had to be basically overengineered in at least some areas.

18. QUESTION:
    Does using a combination of Microwave & Convection powers operating concurrently work as well as normal oven?
    Some microwave ovens have a convection feature so they can work like an ordinary oven. Some have the ability to microwave and cook the conventional way at the same time so it is faster but browned like it has been cooked in a normal oven.

    Is the end result as good as cooking in an oven or something half-way between as good as an oven and microwaved?

    • ANSWER:
      In my opinion it is just as good. I have one and I love it.
      When a convection/microwave oven are combined, the food is cooked simultaneously by microwave energy and by a flow of heated air. Now you have the benefit of fast cooking in the microwave while giving the food a brown outer coloring, along with other features. A convection oven can crisp the surface of some foods by first drying their surface via the circulation of hot air in the cooking process.
      I usually use the combo when cooking chicken. It goes faster and tastes great.
      You must remember however, that you still need to check the meat for the proper temp so you know it it done properly.
      The best feature for me is in summer I can bake without heating the house.

19. QUESTION:
    Electric oven and microwave convection oven?
    I wanted to know if you can use an electric oven and a convection oven which is the same as an ordinary electric oven at the same time.

    • ANSWER:
      Well your electric meter is going to spin like a top....lol But yeah you can do that.They are sure to be on different circuits.

20. QUESTION:
    i have a microwave convection oven.can i use aluminium cup cake moulds and paper liners whilst baking?

    it is a microwave,convection,grill oven and the manual that came with it says okay to aluminum pans in the convection mode.but since have never tried making muffins in individual pans and minus paper liners.would want them to bake without burning, come out of the pan easily and look good too.

    • ANSWER:
      i have an oven like that and put aluminum in it all the time. on convection its heat only and because its convection it cooks without burning. my biscuits always come out perfect, never burned one, works way better than a regular oven. a little non stick spray is all thats needed. the inside of my oven is metal and i put aluminum in it even on microwave. as long as the food mostly covers it i have never seen a spark from it. its steel you cant put in a microwave, not aluminum. it can be done as long as food is on top of it,

21. QUESTION:
    Can you use regular metal bakeware in a microwave/convection oven?
    Or, do I need to go out and replace all my 'newly purchased bakeware' with a particular type of bakeware?

    Thank you.

    • ANSWER:
      NO WAY!

      I have a Microwave/Convection and made that mistake once...
      Within 25 seconds of turning it on... it started to burn and smoke.

      Use glass bakeware or silicone.

22. QUESTION:
    What's the best convection/microwave oven?
    Leaning toward Sharp and Amana. Would like to stay under 0, with a small to medium footprint and minimum 900 watts. Is the convection feature even worth it? I have an oven -- just don't like it. Uncomplicated operation would be great. Any info or ideas welcomed. Thanks.

    • ANSWER:
      I had a convection oven once and I just couldn't get the hang of it. The problem is that a convection oven blows hot air throughout the oven, rather than having a burner that radiates throughout the oven. This causes the heated air to be forced up to the top instead of just radiating out evenly.

      What I experienced is that uncovered dishes would then get burned on the top. But, the part that was in the dish or pan was protected from the hot air by the sides and bottom of the dish. So, it would be undercooked.

      Before you get a convection oven, talk with people who own one and find out what their experiences have been. If they have had similar experiences, then you might want to reconsider getting one and just splurge on a high-end microwave.

      As far as a microwave, I have a GE signature series model that has worked extremely well for a few years now. They're expensive (about 0. But, GE does make some excellent kitchen appliances).

23. QUESTION:
    i have a 'hinari lifestyle' combination microwave, convection oven and grill. How do i use the defrost?
    I have lost the instructions and there is no actual 'defrost button' any ideas? when i press microwave i can choose between p-90 and p-10 but no def for defrost. Any ideas anyone?

    • ANSWER:
      Look up the manufacturer's web site. At the very least you will find a way to contact them for help, maybe the manual will be there on line for you.

24. QUESTION:
    Do you use a convection microwave oven?
    Just wondering. They can be expensive, but I'm really thinking about getting one before summer so when I cook it doesn't heat up the entire kitchen.

    If you have one, do you like it? How well does it cook (the convection part, and the microwave part)? How much should I expect to pay for a good one?

    Thanks!

    • ANSWER:
      My son has one and it is awesome. You can actually brown stuff in it and it acts more like an oven than a microwave.

      Kevin got one that was four in one...oven micro convection and speed oven....they all have their own specialty.

      It is perfect for him.....and I would LOVE To have one ...however it is not as big as a regular oven and you can't cook big things in it...like a 20 lb turkey etc.

      If you don't cook big things like that...then it is great. Cooking is my passion so I would love one of them along with my two ovens. I cook for everyone and need it.

      I think Kevin paid about 700 bucks for his.. but it was more than what you are thinking

      I love them.....

    how long to cook and what temp? Is it necessary to make any changes to my favorite receipe?

    • ANSWER:
      I don't know! Look at this recipes. I never baked anything on microwave:
      BANANA NUT BREAD

      1 c. brown sugar
      1/2 c. butter
      2 eggs
      1 c. mashed bananas
      1 tbsp. lemon juice
      1 tsp. grated lemon rind
      2 c. flour
      1 tbsp. baking powder
      3/4 tsp. salt
      1 c. macadamia nuts, chopped
      1 c. raisins

      Cream brown sugar, butter, eggs and bananas; stir in lemon juice and lemon rind. Beat in dry ingredients. Stir in nuts and raisins. Line bottom of glass loaf pan with waxed paper.

29. QUESTION:
    Can a stronger magnetron be put in a 1996 GE Profile Microwave/Convection oven?
    This is an over the range model JVM1090AW001. The repair man said that the original replacement part isn't made now. He wants to put in a stronger magnetron (1000?). I think the original is 600. The appliance looks new and matches the color of other appliances.

    • ANSWER:
      This is an area in electronics for which I have no experience. I believe that the power output by the magnetron is determined by the circuit it is used in, and by the power supply that provides power to it. It is not determined by the magnetron itself. However, if the rating of the magnetron is too small, it will overheat and fail prematurely.

      Putting a "stronger" magnetron in the microwave is probably OK, in the same sense that putting a larger radiator in your car is OK, as long as it fits. It will just operate cooler because it is not being stressed as highly. Parts substitution is commonplace in both the appliance and automotive businesses. If it shows up in the catalog or parts list, it is OK to use.

      Sears sells parts online for many manufacturers including GE. Their web site indicates that the replacement part number for the magnetron is WB27X10585:
      http://www3.sears.com/scripts/webparts.dll?Pricing?Count=1&Parts=PartNum0%3DWB27X0706%26Div0%3D0022%26Pls0%3D364%26imageKey0%3D1428%26suffix0%3DNA%26&partsreportid=0
      The price through Sears is 9.96.

      Partstore.com sells it for .00:
      http://www.partstore.com/Part/General%20Electric/General%20Electric/WB27X10585.aspx?s=sspro

    I need parts for my Innova convection microwave oven?
    I need the cooking tray and racks

    • ANSWER:
      Ebay or appliance store@

31. QUESTION:
    Please explain to me the difference between a convection oven and a microwave oven.?

    • ANSWER:
      The answers above are good but I wanted to add a couple more thoughts in case you are trying to decide between the two.

      They are for 2 completely different types of cooking. And while they are both supposed to "cut" your cooking time, that reduction is relative to what you are cooking.

      Microwaves are not good for things you want to brown. They make foods hot by causing the molecules to vibrate so fast they create friction heat. Great for leftovers and things like hotdogs which are basically just being reheated. Although the line of microwaveable food out there that is designed for this style of cooking is getting ever larger.

      Convection cooking is the baker/roasters best friend. The circulating air that makes convection work, prevents hot spots in your oven and you get even heating... just what you need for perfect baked goods like evenly browned cookies and level cakes. You don't see the reduced cooking time in quick bake items like cookies. Where time reduction shines with the convection oven is the long bake items.. like chickens and roasts. Here the circulating air not only speeds up cooking, it brown it faster, sealing in the juices more quicky as well. The book that comes with the oven will give you the new cooking times you will use for your roasts and long cook meals. It also browns casseroles beautifully.

      Can't decide and love them both? There are several manufacturers that make counter top and built-in microwave/convection combinations.. and some even let you use both types of cooking at once. Your frozen Stouffer's lasagne will come out microwave quick and oven browned.

32. QUESTION:
    was is best way to use microwave/convection oven?
    New oven, has baking rack with feet, don't know how to use. looking for good recipes, am diabetic and have kidney problems, have to lose 100 lbs, no salt, no pasta, nothing "white", yuk! help. Thanks!!!

    • ANSWER:
      Most microwaves are used to re-heat already cooked food. Its a supplement to cooking very few people rely on it alone! Its quick and makes a mean bag of popcorn! What brand is it? Go to the web site of the manufacuter nad enter the model number you get a manual from website usually!

33. QUESTION:
    should i buy a mini oven or microwave/convection oven?
    OK, here is the deal, i have a good microwave oven and now i need a 'mini oven' because my main build in oven is soo BIG so when i grill only 1 piece of steak it will take long time use alot of electricity and BIG grill tray to clean.

    question comes down to... buying a mini-oven for roasting/grilling small meals, or replace my microwave oven with 2 feature oven (more space saving but those ovens are expensive)!
    anyone use those ovens before? are they reliable and easy to clean?

    • ANSWER:
      I have the 2 feature ovens, 1 convention oven and 1 regular oven..I tend to use the regular oven all the time so I would buy the mini-oven which is less expensive and can do the same job..

34. QUESTION:
    Does a convection oven use more electricity than a microwave oven?
    I'm just trying to make sure I won't set the house and neighborhood ablaze. Although it would be nice to catch-up with the boys at the fire dept.

    • ANSWER:
      Yes, a convection oven uses more electricity than a microwave oven. It takes more energy to heat the air to heat the food than it does to nuke the food and jiggle it on the molecular level into getting hot (which is what microwaves do).

      But.

      The even, smooth heat of a convection oven produces an evenly-cooked product --especially bread and pastry with a nice thin but strong crust. Nothing works for desserts and gourmet items as well as a convection oven, so if you are a great cook, a chef, consider getting one!

35. QUESTION:
    can I use metal trays in a convection oven?or do the the same rules apply as for the microwave cooking?
    I have a combination oven (microwave,grill and convection) and i'm worried about using standard metal trays for baking cakes on the convection oven setting.the instructions don't specify anything about the accessories to be used in a convection oven. please help!! i really want to bake a nice cake for easter:)

36. QUESTION:
    Which method of cooking do you prefer microwave, convection oven, barbeque, deep fryer, skillet?
    Every cook has something way they cook everything with and it works for them so which of these methods suits your cooking skills.

    serious answers.
    should have added Wok. crockpot, smoker, over and open fire, kettle, cooking like the puritans did, whatever method you prefer tell us about it.

    • ANSWER:
      I really like the speed of the microwave, but I cannot STAND the taste of reheated meat when it's done in the microwave. I don't know what it is.. it all just gets this funky taste.

      I like the deep fryer for some things (like fried corn.. you dip a mini corn cob into lightly beaten egg and then into a mixture of flour, salt, and pepper, and then fry it for about 4 to 5 minutes.. delish!!) but I tend to get burned so I usually have my husband deal with it. Plus fried food is bad for you.. sigh.. it's great for fries though!

      My husband cooks well on the grill, but I always worry about undercooking meat.. so I tend to burn it or it's really dry. My husband cooks a mean steak! My dad cooks well too! He taught my husband!

      I haven't had the pleasure of using a convection oven yet. I've used regular gas and electric ovens though.. you've really got to get to know your gas oven and exactly how to adjust times and temps! The electric oven is okay.. when you don't want to stand there cooking all day. And I like baked potatoes/sweet potatoes.

      Skillet/stovetop is probably my fave or at least it's what I usually use. It's pretty versatile.

      I also have a George Foreman grill. It works well with things like cornish hens and filet minon.. but we tried doing pork chops and it just dried the crap out of them.

      I wish I could use my crock pot more often, but no one in my family likes pot roast or soup!

      We also use a rice cooker REGULARLY. I'm half-Korean. My husband didn't know what good rice was (he was forced to eat instant rice) until he met me. Same goes for meatloaf and a lot of other things... his parents grew up during the Depression (he was born when they were in their 40s and 50s) so they like to cook everything to DEATH. I dunno.. my grandparents grew up then too but they don't cook so horribly. ?

37. QUESTION:
    Microwave/Convection oven questions?
    Couple questions,
    I have a microwave/convection oven combo and tried to cook with it the other day. The recipe required to cook for 35 minutes at 425F. The problem was that my 'oven' only goes up to 400F so my questions are, how would I have converted the time properly to see how long I would need to cook at the lower temp?
    Cause I cooked it for an hourish and well didnt come out well, didnt really cook, and had to zap it in the microwave to cook it through.

    This is my only oven, cause I dont have access to an oven so I am hopeing I can master using this.

    • ANSWER:
      You sort of have to just do what you did. Be your own judge. (kinda like making toast, when it's done, it's done) If it looks done then great.

      If you start cooking using your own sense of time, and measurement, you will become a pro in no time at all.
      I don't even own a measuring spoon or cup. I make all kinds of fancy foods just using eye and hand for judgements.
      You will become expert!

43. QUESTION:
    Can a convection oven do the same things a microwave oven does, like popcorn and reheating, and boiling water?

    • ANSWER:
      Yes, but it would take longer. But, you wouldn't want to, just like you wouldn't want to boil water in a regular oven.

      A convection oven has advantages over a normal oven, faster heating, more even. You wouldn't use it the same way you would a microwave.

      Each has their different uses.

44. QUESTION:
    how to bake a cake in a LG microwave convection oven?
    my cake turns out rubbery...and i got not recipe book...anyone who knows pleae give me the best never fail recipe

    • ANSWER:
      Preheat the oven on "convection mode" at 180 degree C.

      Grease the cake tin with oil/butter.

      Sieve flour and baking powder together in a bowl and keep aside.

      Beat butter, sugar and egg till fluffy and creamy in another bowl.

      Slowly mix the sieved flour mixture in the beaten egg mixture. Add milk to make smooth batter.

      You can add the required essence now.

      Pour the cake batter into the greased cake dish. Bake it at a lower rack on one 180 degree C preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes at convection mode.

      Allow to cool.

      TIPS:

      Preheating is very important

      To avoid a dry or dehydrated rubbery cake, ensure that the cake batter is of a thinner ribbon consistency i.e. the batter should fall off from a height in a ribbon shape.

      You can adjust the consistency by adding more milk.

      Have a good day!!

45. QUESTION:
    what is the difference between convection, grill, microwave oven and a normal oven?
    what these other functions can give me which one i should prefer if i will be using it for baking cakes breads reheating food pizzas popcorns.

    • ANSWER:
      Convection ovens/fan ovens augment a traditional oven by circulating heated air using a high temperature fan. By moving hot air past the food, convection ovens can operate at a lower temperature than a standard conventional oven and they can cook food more quickly.

      A grill is a device or surface used for cooking food, usually fueled by gas or charcoal. Grilling is a form of cooking that involves direct heat.

      A microwave oven, or microwave, is a kitchen appliance employing microwave radiation primarily to cook or heat food. Microwave ovens have revolutionized food preparation since their use became widespread in the 1970s. However, a microwave is limited because it cannot "brown" food and heats unevenly.
      A convection oven is best for baking.
      A microwave is perfect for reheating leftovers and popping popcorn.
      And a grill is ideal, in my opinion, for cooking meats.

    I was just given a Sharp microwave-convection oven model R9H84B. It came with a metal tray for the carousel. I have never used metal in a microwave and Sharp no longer supports this model. I don't want to ruin it first time out.

    • ANSWER:
      Ok are you sure it metal and just not painted to look that way? Metal is not supposed to go in the microwave so I wouldnt risk it at all.
