Is the convection 100% convection? Some ovens add in microwaving when the oven is in the convection mode.

My bride of 44 years tell me that it is straight convection, when used in that mode. However, there is a compu cook mode, it will combine both means of convection and microwave. From my perspective, when using convection, we use a metal dish, and it doesn't spark. That seems to be the sign that it is only using convection when in the convection mode. I sure hope this helps. This is the second of these that we have had, and we both love it. Good luck, and again, I hope this helps you. Harry

You have the option to choose either 100% convection or combine it with microwave cooking.

I have had my sharp for quite a few years now ... there is choice of microwave or convection or combination of each ... your choice. I really like the combo choices for cooking meats ... allow for a crisp outside and tender juicy inside and cooked quickly at that .... I have convection baked cheesecake with great success .... you will not regret this purchase ... my fave is chicken wings on the combo cycle

Conventional/convection oven safe, yes. Not microwave oven safe. People sometimes bake cakes in steel mixing bowls.

As I understand it, it is not convection but fancy way to modulate the microwave blast. This stays on at reduced power when you adjust the power setting whereas older microwaves went on and off with different timing of blasts to approximate a lower setting.

Nope... not one of the features. But the convection oven does the job. Best Toaster Oven we have had over many years.

We have never used this in an ordinary oven other than the Whirlpool microwave convection, and then only on the crisper setting. Note, we had to replace our original crisper plate because I put it down on a hot element and melted the underside - so these are prone to melting from direct heat. I would think therefore it probably won't be suitable for a standard oven and the radiant heat in the convection oven comes from above.

Thanks for the information. Since I am using a Convection Microwave, it should be perfect.

No... the convection fan kicks in automatically, no separate control. However in such a small unit, I don't feel the convection feature makes a great deal of difference in baking time or any other issue.

I use this oven for absolutely everything. The instructions say to figure the convection is hotter than a regular oven by about 25 degrees. So when I want to bake something at 350 degrees, I set it at 325 degrees. This has worked consistently well. I use it for baking, re-heating, toasting, broiling, roasting, you name it. It is my absolute favorite appliance. I just worry that it will disappear from the market to be replaced by one that doesn't have the incredibly convenient touch panel in the front. I could operate that thing in my sleep! My sister has one too (thanks, Costco) and she loves it as much as I do. I use this oven for absolutely everything.

Yes it does, although when using the upper rack the results are disappointing. I am on my second oven since purchasing the initial oven in February. There is a significant problem with even temperature, especially when using the convection mode. I now do all of my food on the lower rack and on regular bake. Haven't used this oven for either toasting or broiling, it's basically used as my second oven. Can't hold a candle to my old DeLonghi!

On top of the oven, it doesn't get hot to the touch. If you use it inside the oven, of course it gets hot.

I agree that some reviews look fishy (as are some answers to your question). Yes, this is essentially a small convection oven, not a "fryer". You will get exactly the same results in a convection (or regular) oven.

Select the operation you want (bake, broil, cookies, etc., not toast), then select desired temperature with up/down arrows, then select the amount of time with the up/down arrows and push convection button. This works for me.

Look back Mark because you may have gotten mixed up- as I did too. There are microwaves & then there are smart ovens- convection ovens that have cutting board on top. The board on top is there for a reason- without it- the top becomes a warming plate. However, I have the microwave also- it does not vent from top, so you could put one up there. Hope this helps.

Yes - we actually love this appliance. Only negative is you cannot use the oven and the microwave at the same time.

Yes, I've done both and was very pleased with the result. In fact, I like this better than my large Samsung convection oven.
