Comparison Guide
Microwave cooking uses very short, high frequency radio waves.
The movement of the microwaves through the food creates heat and
cooks most foods faster than regular methods. Microwave cooking
heats the food, not the cookware or the interior of the oven.
Convection cooking constantly circulates heated air around the
food. It creates even browning and sealed-in flavor by the motion
of hot air over the food surfaces.
Using a combination of microwave and convection cooking is also
an option.
You can cook by time or by temperature. When cooking by
temperature, the temperature probe monitors the internal
temperature of the food to let you know when it is ready.
