Microwave ovens?

I inherited a combo microwave/convection oven from my Mom. I never learned to use the convection oven features, or maybe these were broken, but I've heard convection cooking praised above microwaving. I have no idea about the price differential, but maybe this is something you should consider instead of just getting a plain-old microwave.
 
Waahh, mine just died this week. :sob: I use the mickey for making popcorn and that's about it. I use(d) the toaster for everything else. I was alive when microwaves became household items and I have never gotten used to food cooked in them. They heat unevenly and it does something to the consistency that makes the food seem like it's made of plastic.


AWw that sucks. They are nicer than microwaves, for the most part.
