Cooking Comparison Guide
Cooking with your new oven offers a wide variety of
food preparation options: microwave cooking,
convection cooking, and combination cooking.
Microwave cooking uses very short, high-frequency
radio waves. The movement of the microwaves through
the food generates heat and cooks most foods faster
than regular methods, while retaining their natural
texture and moisture. Microwave cooking heats food
directly, not the cookware or the interior of the oven.
Reheating is easy and defrosting is particularly
convenient because less time is spent in food
preparation.
Convection cooking constantly circulates heated air
around the food, creating even browning and sealed-in
flavor by the constant motion of hot air over the food
surfaces.
Combination cooking combines microwave energy
with convection to cook with speed and accuracy, while
browning and crisping to perfection.
You can use microwave cooking, convection cooking,
or combination cooking to cook by time. Simply preset
the length of cooking time desired and your oven turns
off automatically.
The following guide shows at a glance the difference
between microwave, convection, and combination
cooking.
COOKING
METHOD
MICROWAVE CONVECTION COMBINATION
Microwave energy is
distributed evenly
throughout the oven for fast,
thorough cooking of food.
Hot air circulates around
food to produce browned
exteriors and sealed-in
juices.
HEAT SOURCE Microwave energy. Circulating heated air.
BENEFITS

convection heat combine to
shorten the cooking time of
regular ovens, while
browning and sealing in
juices.
