Frequently asked questions
- What is the difference between a grill and a combination microwave?
- A grill microwave adds a heating element for browning, while a combination microwave also includes convection for fuller oven-style baking and roasting. Combination models are more versatile but cost more.
- Can you use metal in a microwave grill?
- Only the supplied grill rack or oven-safe metal should be used, and usually only in grill-only mode. Avoid metal during microwave or combination cooking unless the manual states otherwise.
- Does the grill function get the outside crispy?
- The grill element browns and crisps surfaces in a way standard microwaving cannot, helping with toppings and finishes. Results are good but typically less crisp than a conventional oven grill.
