The way you explain things in commendable - straight to the point. Watched your video on vaccum cleaners and now microwave ovens; I am a fan already. Keep being unbiased.
Charts with detailed information are the most effective way for most of us to comprehend the technicalities. Thanks for the info. Now, I can decide what to buy.
How can someone be so perfect in explaining things so simple and informative way........ Thank you dear sister for clarifying all my doubts so simply..... May God bless you.
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.
I agree with you even i couldnt make a pizza crispy at the bottom. I can't buy otg and microwave both. So how to do grilling and tosting sandwich,etc in microwave?
The convection has a system of distributing heat, which to some extent makes up for the top and bottom heating. I find baking for family purposes just right with a convection oven. It also gives you the added advantage of doubling as an air fryer. And unlike an OTG you do not have to turn your cakes around, midway through baking. The only problem is in India you can't find a 50 or 60 ltr convection oven. Hope this helps some buyers
Should I go for Slim fry plus convection microwave oven from Samsung or should I buy an OTG ? Usage : Baking cake , pizza once in 1-2months, less oil cooking 2-3times a week.
If you will be using for heating predominantly during the other times than those mentioned, go for a convection microwave. Here are my top recommendations - amzn.to/3tKYKbM
Love your videos and the informative you provide to educate us and make our decision based on our needs.. most others just recommend to purchase without consideration of the requirements… can you also at some point cover the types refrigerator - side by side, bottom mounted and the regular top freezer variants and how to determine how much energy they consume on average.. I am interested to buy a bottom mounted refrigerator but have heard reports that they are nit energy efficient.. which one do you use and what is your experience..
Wow😮comparison of so many modles with best pick. Which one is best for chapatis? Does Rotassire function helps to make better cooked chapatis or you have to rely only on bake option only?
The problem with microwave-convection combination ovens: (1) operator error to operate in microwave mode when intended to use convection mode with a metal pan. (2) The magnetron will generally fail faster than the convection heating element. So it will lose one functionality, and need a replacement.
Bought both solo microwave and OTG oven combined less than the price of convection microwave oven 😅😅. All types of utensils can be used except plastic in an otg. Watched a lot of videos but this one is so clear with complete information ℹ️.
@@monikakataria215 I bought agaro OTG 38 liters, made whole chicken roast on rotisserie mode which came out perfect, you can go with any brand depending on your budget.
@@anonymous-vy8lzsaw your comment and bought agaro 38l just 2 says ago but when I keep the temperature at 180 with both top and bottom heating mode, the rods don't get red. But the rod becomes red when either top or bottom mode is selected(same 180 temp). Is that same for you, that is, the rod doesn't get red, when both top and bottom mode is selected or should I call for service. Will be very helpful if you reply. Thanks
Thank you very much for this informational video. But can you please make a video on Which is best convection microwave oven? What size to purchase? And Can we make grill /toast sandwich and pizza, bread, cake? How can we make all items(pizza, grill and toast sandwiches, handsome,dhokla,rice,pulav, etc. all that we make for everyday vegetarian lunch or dinner? How to clean and take care of it? I want to purchase a microwave convection oven(As I don't want to bake a cake ,I want to make grilled/toast sandwich/burger, pizza, once try cake, cook regular indian vegetarian foods items, roast besan, groundnut, etc. Please I will be thankful to you if you guide and make videos as well on these.
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.
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.
@@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.
@@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?
@@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.
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
Thank you for this well-explained video. I really thought that Convection Microwave and Convection Oven are not the same. Like two separate appliances. Ugh..
Mam convection microwave me jaise ki jb samosa ya fir fries bna rahe hai to unhe baar baar turn krne ki jarurt padhti hai kya ya ....qki otg me upr neeche dono side rods hoti hai to usme toh nahi krna padhta i think....pr convection microwave me padhta hai kya qki usme khali uper side hi rod hoti hai
Hi Srusanu, I briefly touch upon that in this video. There is a lot of research done on that subject - in general - radiation from mw is harmless - it’s almost the same as the radiation from lights. I can cover that in a separate video based on interest 😊
hey, i want something mainly for reheating everyday. But, i also wanna do some baking, twice or thrice a month(cake and pizza). Also, I'm low on budget. which one should I opt for? or should I buy OTG and solo both? I'm so confused rn.
Hi Zia, thanks for sharing. Which one do you use? The one I use works really well for cakes. I may have out a few images of the cakes I made in this video too ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Qu1bRD8IQV0.html
Please can you suggest how is Usha calypso otgw 30 dec turbo digital oven toaster grill 30l with turbo convection ? It has air fryer also.. please suggest if it's a good oven ? please need to buy it soon if you suggest.. Philips HD6976/00 36-liters Digital Oven is costing me 10,500 rupees and Usha CALYPSO OTGW30 costing me 11,500 rupees... Just want to be sure which one is better ? As hardly a different of 1000 rupees.. please suggest..
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 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-92oVigTcjBA.html). So the air fryer is really not a differentiator. If you want a larger size, you can go with the Philips, else with the Usha. Hope this helps!
Hi Safraz, I recommend this amzn.to/3AkU6Ph at 32L and amzn.to/2WUDIaA or amzn.to/3FzqSA2 at 28L. As to why, you can see this video :) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Qu1bRD8IQV0.html
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.
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 Hitesh, not reviewed those two. Here are my recommendations for convection microwave ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Qu1bRD8IQV0.html
Please review the Cold Press Juicers and Centrifugal juicers, Kuvings is now officially in India. Would love to hear your take. if it is worth paying so much.
Hi! You may want to watch this video that talks about whether Air Fryer is useful and it compares it to an oven. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-92oVigTcjBA.html
