I used to have a range that had a microwave feature but I was way too
scared to use it. Is this the type of oven you're talking about or do
you have a microwave oven with a convection feature? I've never seen an
appliance like that. If so, my guess is that it simply has a integrated
blower and heater element and there would be no need to do any
adjustment to the temperature. I'd sure be interested in a microwave
oven with a heated blower. Where can I get one? Thanks.
