Supaluke Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 We've broken the microwave. Thinking about buying another a microwave but toying with the idea of buying a microwave/oven combination, that is if they have them here? Apart from the usual uses for a microwave, we just want to bake some cakes, hence the thought about a oven combo. I read the topic http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/874603-table-top-oven-good-or-bad/ and some good info there. Is there any microwave/oven combinations that are relatively cheap, but reliable? We are in the Bangkok / Bangna area. Ideas on models, prices and place where you can buy them/bought yours. Thanks Luke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post harrry Posted December 7, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted December 7, 2015 In my view the combination oven does not replace a real oven however. It can cook many things quickly and the heating element allows the surface moisure to evaporate so you do not end up with for examle sloppy pastry on warmed pies. Worth getting but not a complete replacement. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

apalink_thailand Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Convection combo ovens are nice. Bit small though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seedy Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Moved Topic to Int'l food. May get a more varied response. As shipping is easy from anywhere, did not seem to make sense to stick into one of the local forums. Good luck with your search. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jadee Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 I have an LG microwave that can grill, it was about 3,500 from Makro. I sometimes buy pizza bases from Foodland and make pizzas - it does grill but is obviously not the same as an oven. The Electrolux microwave/oven combo linked to above looks very good, I've never tried one. I'd like to test one but for 8,000 baht, I'd be tempted to buy a separate microwave and an actual oven. You can get decent microwaves for 1,500-2,000baht and pretty large counter-top ovens for 2,500-3,000. My reasoning would be the cost of repairs - I'd be wary about expensive repairs. I've always found that electronics are almost written off when they fail in Thailand due to the cost of repairs (ie it's better to replace than repair).

MJCM Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 @jadee. We already have the Electrolux for a couple of years and we use it regularly, both Microwave and Convection oven. Never ever a problem and No repairs needed Yet. However YMMV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My concerns also, but I buoyed by the comments MJCM that the product is durable. Appreciating all the comments thus far. Please add more if you can. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xylophone Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 I've had a Sharp "Perfection" (model R988P) microwave, double grill and convection oven for 7 years and it is absolutely great........easy to use and clean and includes some preset menus and recipes. Can't fault it and would def buy again if it comes to it.........but would suspect my model has been superseded by newer models now. Great concept and works well for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
animatic Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 I have a combination microwave, top grill and Convection oven. Works great it is in the catalogs at Home Pro but not usually in the selves. My second on, had one brought from Europe for 10 years, found another here but different brand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuckles78 Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 We just bought a new combo microwave. Its also a steamer. My wife loves it for steaming veggies quickly and the buttons and manual are in Thai so easy for her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RabC Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 I had two sharp micro/convection/grill combos before leaving UK and can't praise them highly enough. I would love to be able to buy a similar one here but all the ones I have seen are smaller so sort of defeats the purpose of the convection bit.

KittenKong Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 I have a Samsung combo microwave/convection oven. Works fine. I use it for all my cooking and regularly bake wholemeal bread and make cakes and biscuits and pizzas in it, all from scratch. It's got a Sunday joint in it now as I type and once that is done a Yorkshire pudding wont be far behind. The only possible drawback I can see is that it isnt very large and it would be hard to cook for more than two people with it. As I am just one person I really dont care!

RandomSand Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 In the UK I have a Whirlpool Microwave with convection oven. It's one of the higher-spec JetChef ovens with a pull down (front loading) door as oppose to side opening (swing open) door. Panasonic also do these front loaders and they have built-in inverters for better microwaving. One of the things to look for when buying is to see how high a temperature the convection oven can actually reach. Look for at least 200 deg C with the better ones being able to go upto 220 deg C. These appliances are able to function as pure convection ovens without any aid from the grill or microwave. I can cook cakes, biscuits, roasts, etc., in my JetChef oven and the results truly are "oven cooked" and I'm very happy with this appliance. Within Thailand I'd look at the Panasonic ones with built-in inverters and stainless steel clad interiors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
