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.
Full details →Who the Wüsthof Classic 7-Piece Wooden Knife Block Set is for
Buy it if: Anyone wanting knives that survive hard kitchen use and can be sharpened for decades.
Avoid it if: Anyone who wants the longest-lasting edge -- harder Japanese steel holds one longer, at the cost of chipping.
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.
