Convection is the difference between a reheating box and an oven -- it circulates genuinely hot air, so it bakes and browns where a solo microwave only agitates water molecules.

The swivel spout is the reason this costs what it does and the reason it works where cheaper racks do not: a fixed spout dictates which side of the sink the rack must sit on, and in most Indian kitchens that is the wrong side.
Full details →Who the Panasonic 27L Convection Microwave Oven is for
Buy it if: Anyone who wants one appliance that reheats, bakes and grills in a kitchen without space for an oven.
Avoid it if: Anyone who mainly defrosts and melts delicately -- a true inverter model handles low power far better.
Who the Simplehuman Stainless Steel Frame Countertop Dish Rack is for
Buy it if: Anyone whose counter layout does not match a fixed-spout rack, in a humid kitchen.
Avoid it if: Anyone short of counter space -- 36 x 33 cm is a large permanent footprint.
