  • It’s New Microwave Time

    Posted by granvil on June 5, 2014 at 12:47 pm

    does anybody have any experience / recommendations for a good microwave? Looking for something functional that we can actually bake/ roast in

    Granvil, you sure yours isn’t already a microwave/convection oven ?

    Any of the newer microwaves is probably better than our standard bus micro/convection deal and going to 1100 instead of 850 wats seems the way to go. The convection works well, but is really noisy and takes forever to cool down. I would just go for something that fits, has the right color and will do both micro and convection.

    By the way, why do you care, Kim will handle it!:)

    she’s the one who told me to go ask the question….ours is a convection micro but it really cooks unevenly and if you stand too close you get blisters on your face

    There’s one on the flea market that might be a perfect fit: Microwave

    One of the items we will be asking Jeff at East Tenn Lux Coach to do for us is to remove the current Sharp microwave/convection oven and replace it with a GE Advantium. We have an Advantium in the house and absolutely love it.

    Advantium

    Once you have the “Speed Cook” function you will be spoiled.

    An alternative includes the Bosch OTR microwave / convection series. Just installed Bosch 800 series (8052, replacing original Sharp combination) in our coach.

    I looked at the Bosch, but preferred some of the GE features….given our cooking skills we need every advantage….now I need to start a thread on induction cooktops ..

    We got a regular GE Microwave/Convection and LOVE it. We cook and bake a lot, and had this microwave/convection at home. I can bake two cookie sheets of cookies in it, and for baking anything, it takes just about the same amount of time as a “regular” oven. Microwave features work well, too. We purchased it on sale at Sears, brought it to Signature, and it was installed in no time. 🙂
