Combination Microwave Ovens

[learning2me]

I have just had to replace my microwave, so decided to go for a Panasonic combination with microwave, convection and grill.

There are a few recipes in the booklet that came with it, but I'm wondering if anyone else has a combo and can point me in the direction of any tried and tested recipes.

With convection I can just use my usual recipes, but I'm interested in the combination cooking.

Just made some chocolate brownies from the book and waiting for them to cool. They were combination cooking, so no preheating the oven. Hope they're OK.

Like the sound of the chocolate brownies.

At the mere mention of chocolate, the rest of the gang will not be far behind.

When mine needed replacing 4 years ago, I chose a similar

one to yours, and I have never regretted it.

I only use the big oven at Christmas so its economical as well.

Hope you love yours too !

I loved mine and used it alot, but it burnt out and now just have a dinky microwave. I do alot of heating up things when I have baby or poorly hogs in like heatpads and formula.

Can you answer a question for me. Can you have it on the worktop where there are wall cupboards above? I have been thinking of getting one when finances allow but all my worktops have cupboards above them.

Maggie, the book says you need 6" clearance at the top, 4" behind and 2" at sides, so the answer is yes 😄

There is only 5" now with my little microwave so I think I would have to lose a cupboard.

I always cook meat and chicken on combination - it's brilliant, brown on the outside and really lovely and succulent.  Just a tip - use roasting bags, keeps the oven cleaner longer.

Love my Panasonic

I love mine too :-x Being able to do a whole roast chicken in around 30 mins is brilliant but I wasn't sure I could use roasting bags in there so will have to do that next time, thanks for the tip chips!

I have just been to as-a and the microwave bags are on offer, got some roasting bags for meat, 8 bags,standards size 25 x 38cms can also be used in the microwave and microwave steam bags for vegetables.     25 large bags,  3-6 servings per bag

each pack were £1 each,  but don't now how they compare with other places
