Using a Camper Microwave-Convection Oven
What is a microwave-convection oven Installed frequently in recreational vehicles, it is a combination of a regular convection oven with a microwave. Users are able to use the quick interior cooking of microwaves combined with the surface browning of hot air. Convection cooking allows for the interior cooking of a traditional oven, just hotter and faster. Convection oven technology uses a fan to force air movement and heat up the full interior of the microwave to cook food from the inside out. That’s why you can use convection microwaves to bake and roast things that would otherwise be cooked too quickly (and not thoroughly) with just a regular microwave. The…
