Convection microwave

A convection microwave is a special kind of oven that makes food hot by using both microwaves and hot air.

Microwaves are a type of energy that can heat things up really fast - just think of popcorn popping in the microwave! But sometimes, when you use a regular microwave, your food might come out unevenly heated or soggy. That's where the hot air comes in.

The convection part of the oven is like having a fan that blows hot air around your food as the microwaves do their job. This means that your food gets heated evenly and can even come out crispy and browned, like it was baked in an regular oven.

So, a convection microwave is kind of like a magic box that uses both microwaves and hot air to quickly make your food hot and delicious.
