[@SreelakshmiPrabhakar]

First I purchased a 19 litre Black and Decker OTG and later on a solo Panasonic with presets microwave oven. The reason for buying the OTG was that it runs on 5amp power. At one time I was staying in a rented apartment where no 15amp socket (except for geyser) was provided. I love the OTG as it has convection feature for oven, convection feature for only grill, only oven, only rotisserie with upper rod, and convection feature for both rotisserie and both bottom plus top heaters together. Having convection feature in OTG helps reduce temperature (instead of 180 C you use 160 C). For microwave cooking, I refer to tarla dalal's books and most of her recipes are awesome. Other than that, I use the steam vegetables feature in the autocook preset and it works like a charm. I also use the microwave for drying curry leaves, cooking potatoes, reheating leftovers. My daughter uses it to roast almonds.

[@TheGrapevineIndia]

Hi Sreelakshmi! Thanks for sharing! That’s an interesting point you make about it requiring a 5A point only. Absolutely , OTG gives a lot more flexibility. You seem to be using it quite a bit - which is great! I like a multi purpose device like the convection mw mainly as the space taken is much lower.

[@SreelakshmiPrabhakar]

@@TheGrapevineIndia If at the moment I had the budget (the otg cost me slightly more than 7k) and the choice of using a 15amp plug, I would have gone for a mw with convection. But then I would not have learnt about the existence of convection in OTG and various other features. But I do agree it is better to have a single multifunction device if there's lack of space and one is changing houses frequently.

[@delcyvictor1571]

@@SreelakshmiPrabhakar I have a microwave convection oven and i do bake and grill once in a while. You are talking about the uses of convection. What exactly are those?

[@SreelakshmiPrabhakar]

@@delcyvictor1571 basically it's fan that help spread hot air in the cavity of the oven to enable even baking. I guess the same principle apply to convection mode in microwave. Only thing is it's the heater rods used for grill at the top of the microwave oven plus fan plus rotating table of microwave oven. but you cannot reduce temperature meant for baking with microwave convection. It might be due only top heater rods. If you google on the topic, you might get more information. My knowledge comes from the baking books that I got on Kindle and they all refer to the convection mode in a conventional oven (Type that's either in a wall cavity or part of a cooking range). It's also called fan assisted oven. If you buy Betty crocker's cake mix, you will see what I mean in their instructions. The features I was talking of are the different modes one can select in an OTG if available. Not all basic OTGs are fan assisted/convection OTGS. I have mentioned in my reply whatever I do with my solo microwave.

[@TheGrapevineIndia]

In otg, the one reason for better baking is the heating rods are at the top and bottom, unlike convection mw where the heating rods are at the top only. In convection mode - food is cooked by the water in the food getting heated up - making the cooking more evenly. I did not cover this specifically- as I thought it may be a bit more technical to help viewers understand easily. 😊

Hi seeking a suggestion...for tandoori chicken which mode is better...convection or grill or combo mode with micro + convection/grill. I have LG MC2146BG model

[@user-rj2lf7zs6q]

OTG has heating coil at top and bottom. This helps in cooking pizza base and cakes evenly. Convection oven has only 1 coil at the top which leads to increased baking time in cake or the top gets burned but the bottom part uncooked or takes longer to cook. So go for otg for baking.

[@smita7213]

I had an OTG previously & later moved to a LG Convection microwave. However the challenge is that I can't use a Convection microwave for a duration of over 40 mins at a stretch as prescribed by the technician. My microwave door melted on using for just over a period of 1.5 hours. Though in the microwave manual it mentioned I could use the microwave at a stretch for 2 hours. Baking items like eclairs, macaroons & certain bakes failed in the convection model where it needs definately longer time to bake. I am now thinking to switch to a have a solo microwave just for heating purposes & switch to an OTG for baking.

[@TheGrapevineIndia]

Hi Reshma Naimpally! Thanks for sharing your feedback! I also believe if you bake often and bake dishes which need higher heat / longer cooking time, a dedicated OTG is more useful.

Hi Roshan, this amzn.to/3JCbLXQ is a smaller size compared to the Philips one. Yes it has preset menus for air fry, but air fry can be achieved with the Philips one as well (watch this video that helps clarify kzbin.info/www/bejne/b2PSh5ydicideKM).
