Microwaves that use a combination of different heating technologies such as a fan and convection, can be used to steam food that can aid in making healthier meals.

Convection cooking
A built-in combi microwave is a great way to avoid having an oven and microwave that are separate in your kitchen. They are typically smaller than traditional microwaves, but offer a variety of additional features that allow you to roast, bake and grill food to perfection. Certain models have a broiler element which lets you give food a quick golden brown finish.
Convection heating is also available in a great combi microwave to accelerate cooking and improve the taste. This is particularly useful when you're trying to reduce the amount of moisture lost when baking a cake or roasting meats.
It is also important to consider the capacity of the microwave combo when making your choice. It's based on the number of people you cook for regularly and the frequency with which your family eats meals. For larger households, a large combi microwave with a high power rating is ideal.
Steaming is another useful feature that can be found on a variety of microwave ovens. This feature can help seal flavor and nutrients while keeping your food fresh, crisp, and moist. This is especially useful when defrosting or heating food items such as fish, veggies and casseroles.

Defrosting
A built-in microwave is the best option for those looking to get the most value out of cooking. These multi-functional appliances are not only capable of cooking food, defrosting it, grilling it and baking it, but also have numerous clever functions that enable you to get many different results.
Microwave ovens are great to defrost food quickly and evenly. The majority of models come with an Defrost setting. This setting will ask you to enter the kind of food, its weight and calculate an ideal time to defrost based on these factors. You can also make use of the manual defrost option by placing food items on a microwave-safe plate, and following the directions on the interactive display of your microwave.
The defrost feature in microwaves is activated by turning on the magnetron, which generates high frequency that heats food items. The defrost mode uses lower power levels than other settings (around 20-30% of total output), which allows it to melt the food more slowly and without overcooking. You may need to rotate your food or break down larger pieces of meat to ensure an even defrosting.
It is crucial to keep in mind that defrosting food in the refrigerator takes longer than using the microwave. However, built in microwave over oven ovensandhobs can cook the remainder of the meal while it is defrosting. The meat that has been defrosted should not be left at room temperature too long. This can encourage bacteria growth. It is therefore a good idea to plan ahead by defrosting your meat at least one hour prior to when you intend to cook it. The majority of microwaves come with an easy defrosting timer that shows how much time is left.
