Hello. How does it compare to a microwave as far as reheating food? Is it longer? Would I have to use the pressure mode?

It would definitely be longer. Microwave is a better alternative for reheating.

This oven does not operate as a microwave. You would need to reheat items in the bake mode. The pressure mode is not needed. I only used my microwave to heat water so I now do that on the stove top. The oven is quite useful in place of the large oven that requires a lot of time to warm up. The small oven warms up quickly.

They are different animals. They both heat food from the outside to the center....the microwave does it faster than the pressure oven, but it can easily turn a burger into a brick, 'cause the outside overcooks before the inside is done. The pressure oven is faster than a conventional oven, a little, and keeps the food's moisture in it better. Yes, use pressure, otherwise all you have is a toaster oven, for more money.

If you use the pressure mode, the cooking time will be shorter, and you save time and energy.

Worst oven ever, almost killed us when it exploded. I bought the largest zoster oven they make for 89 dollars. Spent more to send back the Wolfgang oven, which, yes, I paid for.

Hadn't noticed. My issue is that the microwave seems under-powered. How are your cook times?

It takes about 3 mins for warm water. I imagine the microwave is faster. I still prefer to heat my water in the kettle though.

i tried out two of these. The first on went to 420 degrees which burned the food before it was done. The secound one stop at 385 degrees with is to hot a staring point for most foods. I went with a small Presto that you could set the temp on and has a small basket. It cooks 1 to 2 servings. I would look for one like this that is bigger to meet your needs.. I used my Thermoworks thermometer to check the temps and it always on the money or just a few degree's off.

Better than a microwave. Taste like "just made" rather than reheated. Anything with sauces just taste so much better in this. Love it

Sorry for the delayed response. Went to my spam. Basically it says that it delivers a more steady power when heating your food... even when using a lower temperature. I know with other microwaves, when I use a lower setting, you hear it click on and off. This microwave doesn't do it, thus providing a better heated food.I love this microwave. I love all the room it has too. I will never get a smaller one. ONLY this one. Get it!!

No preheat needed, just add a little oil, load with food items, microwave for recommended time, and let set to finish cycle. It's been an amazing device for meat, fish, and poultry! I'm not a shill... just a well fed buyer, with a happy wife. ~Paulhttp://www.microhearth.com/index.cfm

I lost my pressure control and just ordered it from their website. In response to the negative reviews, a pressure cooker needs to be treated carefully and used properly. Your food won't burn if you have enough water in it, and the ring won't tear if you treat it gently. I have had very good luck with this item.

I purchased a microwave oven for the sole purpose of heating up leftovers for dinner. I do not use the convection over feature but I will probably get around to it after I read about the cooking features and feel more comfortable about trying to use that feature.

I have a toaster oven that I hardly ever use, and it's small. I can put in a dinner size plate into the microwave. I usually cook for myself and find myself re-heating previously cooked foods, like veggies and leftovers. The one really fabulous feature this microwave offers is a Re-heat food button. It works with the built in sensor. You put in your food that you want to re-heat, press the re-heat food button and press start. It automatically knows when to shut off. It hasn't overheated anything yet. For me that is a really handy feature.

Mine only stayed warm for 2-3 hours and I would reheat it after 2 1/2 hours. It was by no means hot, just warm, but I had no safety issues with reheating it. I ended up returning mine after a week since it didn't work like described.

I can't tell you about the microwave ... i only use the convection oven and it is very good. Would reccommend it.

This Microwave has provisions for 1-2-3-4-5-6 minute cycles. If you want a different time, you can set it manually. However, this is the least of the problems with this unit. It cuts out the power when you have a 2-6 minute cook time. if you are not standing there, you'll have no idea how long your food has really cooked. Good luck.

You should be able to pressure cooker recipes. However, you may need to adjust the cooking times a little because in addition to the pressurized steam you're likely getting some cooking from the microwaves as well. Here's a link to the pamphlet that comes with it and it includes some recipes that you could compare to your pressure cooker recipes. Do NOT over fill it or you'll have a mess to clean up in your microwave. Enjoy. http://www.scribd.com/doc/81396658/Copy-of-Microwave-Tender-Cooker-Pamphlet

It will require some attention. It's not like a microwave. I have had food get a little burnt from too much heat and too little attention.

I like hearing that. Microwaving would be faster and easier. Do you remember the link to the page online that says it can be microwaved?

I think a microwave is best. You may have to check with the manufacturer of this.
