Hope to grill mest stuff too. - So far haven't seen such equipment in the market, with 2 different heat-production methods, to be "cum" together within one body. - Microwave's heat produced by "vibrating" the H2O particles within "ready food". most for "warming up" purpose. No metal container/plate. Microwave oven's walls built with heavy metal, except for front door with some "mesh" built in between, to minimise waves from radiating out to the container. - Convection Oven is by heating filaments at sides/top/bottom, with temp/timer controls. Some even with built in fans to blow the within temperature to be more even.... My advise is: practise make perfect. Edited June 19, 2010 by bepgof Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You can bake a pizza at this temperature. Baking cakes are usually at 160 degrees and cookies and muffins at 180 degrees. It is important to get a microwave cum convection oven with a large capacity. It enables you put a muffin tin in or roast an entire chicken effortlessly. Get those at 40/42 litres capacity. Panasonic, Sharp, and LG have these sizes. Grilling is possible with these dual ovens.

ne0mesis 0 Report post Posted June 20, 2010 this is interesting, coz this was the same reason we went the other way, the brandt model we saw was a single piece glass with it had screws on all 4 sides & the inner frame was padding were 2 pieces, the bosch on the other hand was a single paned glass & finished in single piece. How bizarre indeed! single piece glass from brandt? if my memory did not fail me, I am supposing is the FE811 without any self-cleaning functions?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hannz 0 Report post Posted June 20, 2010 Hi KM, I need your advise on which model of built in oven to get. After reading all the posting, think you are highly recommend Brandt FE811XS1, but after discuss with my husband, we worry there will have problem as the AMP is different. Is there other brand that is similar function n price of this model? We want to get Rinnai hob n hood too. Do u think is good? we cook everyday, which model or other brand u can recommend? We want sth more economical. Hope to hear from u soon. Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What is the make/brand, where can I find? Edited June 20, 2010 by bepgof Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
d'lotus 0 Report post Posted June 21, 2010 Hi Summer flower, really, there is sure "microwave cum convention" oven? What is the make/brand, where can I find? @bepgof... Im using Panasonic's Dimension 4 - The Genius .... I think easily for the last 15 years. At that time, it was the most canggih microwave... with convection (a very very new thing)... and we had to pay premium price ... RM2,200 (thereabout). It's big, and since my wife loves to bake... an all-in-one was good. For my new condo here in SG, didnt' want to make space for an in-built oven.... and brought the unit down... still perfect!! Understand Pana has upgraded this model.... functions and dimensions nearly the same... the controls all electronic... and voice-command Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My built-in hod, chimney hood, built-in oven all from Rinnai, Italy. So far so good. Personally, I like those simple-to-use types and always make up of those functions. As grow older, realise to appreciate the art of "buy only those you want to use", don't pay money for functions that never use. 9xxx series should be very advance. My one 5CSI with mechanical timer!

xianee 0 Report post Posted June 26, 2010 Hi all, I've booked the electrolux EOB53000x after much consideration... but just found out that it is quite dangerous if the oven doesn't have cool door for pple with children who may touch the door and burn their fingers while the oven is in use.Due to space constraint, the oven will be under my hob so my 2 yr old can easily touch it Does anyone know if this model has the cool door? Many thnks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
