Microwave Oven Buying Guide: Solo, Grill or Convection?

A microwave oven can do far more than reheat leftovers. The trick is picking the type that matches how you cook.

Solo microwave

The simplest and most affordable type. A solo microwave reheats, defrosts and cooks simple dishes. Perfect if you mainly warm food, milk and tea.

Grill microwave

Adds a heating element at the top so you can grill and crisp — chicken tikka, kebabs, toast and snacks. A grill microwave is the most popular choice for Pakistani families because it combines everyday reheating with desi-style grilling.

Convection microwave

Adds a fan and heating element that circulate hot air, letting the microwave work like a small oven. You can bake cakes, pizzas and roast chicken. Choose convection if you want to bake but do not have a separate oven.

Choosing the right size

Features worth having

• Auto-cook menus — one-touch programs for common dishes.
• Defrost by weight — thaws meat evenly.
• Child lock — prevents accidental use.
• Easy-clean interior — saves scrubbing.

Safety tips

• Never run a microwave empty, and never put metal or foil inside in microwave mode.
• Use microwave-safe glass or ceramic containers.
• Leave space around the vents for air flow.
