I posted elsewhere about how our microwave exploded and had to be replaced. We wanted to build in some redundancy with out kitchen appliances, and so the replacement is one which is a microwave, an oven and a grill. So you can oven things, and microwave things and grill things - and combine functions. Er - why?
Woah, that’s odd. Never had anything like that before. Take Gözleme, for example - a Turkish stuffed bread, which is difficult to source so I have to bulk buy and freeze it. But how to defrost and warm it? An oven scorches the bread before the filling is warm; a microwave does a lovely job on the filling but turns the bread to a soggy mass. Simultaneous hot oven and low microwave power? Perfect in four minutes from frozen.*
We’ve had this fella for less than two weeks, and I’m genuinely excited about the possibilities. I may just start a thread to see if I can learn from other dopers experiences.

* - OK, we preheated the oven for a few minutes - but maybe you don’t need to do that. Dunno - yet.
