Convection Microwave Ovens Explained
What is a convection microwave oven? Convection microwave ovens incorporate convection oven technology and inverter microwave capabilities into one package. This means they can heat and defrost food like regular inverter microwaves, plus bake, roast, grill and steam function modes. Convection oven technology utilises powerful fans to force air movement and heat throughout the complete interior of the microwave oven in order to cook and brown food evenly, just like a traditional microwave oven.

4 in 1 Versatile Cooking
Panasonic’s Convection Microwave Ovens offer a wide range of cooking modes and can perform all the cooking feats of a full kitchen; from defrosting and reheating, right through to grilling fish, steaming dumplings, roasting meat and baking cupcakes and slices. Perfect for space saving - no compromise necessary.
Microwave
The Microwave function is great for reheating and defrosting food. Panasonic’s Inverter Microwave Technology delivers continuous heating at modulated power resulting in evenly cooked food, unlike other microwaves without Inverter Technology.
Grill
Use the Grill function to toast & grill your favourite food for that lovely browned effect. A good option for melting cheese, crisping meats, veggies and more.
Bake / Roast
Panasonic’s Convection setting makes every day roasting & baking easy. An integrated fan mimicking a traditional oven circulates hot air throughout the microwave producing quicker, more even results. Cook everything from cakes and pies to family roast dinners.
Steam
On a health kick? Steaming your food in a convection microwave oven retains nutrients and flavour in vegetables and fish. You can also use this unique function to steam dumplings!
Note: Steam function & Steam Combination available on select convection microwave oven models only.
Mix it Up with Combination Cooking
Our Microwave ovens allow combination cooking meaning you can use different functions together depending on what you are cooking. The cooking time of the various Combination Cooking functions is faster than conventional methods without impacting the taste or quality of the food. The mix of inverter microwave technology, grill or convection functions allows food to cook quickly on the inside whilst crisping or browning on the outside.
Note: Combination modes differ by model.
