So, what is this thing, and do we all need one in our kitchens?

Heres what I found out so that it’s possible for you to decide for yourself.

Similarly, theToshiba Combo 8-in-1(ohreally) Countertop Microwave equates broil to grill in its description.

Breville - the Combi Wave 3 in 1 1.1 Cu. Ft. Convection Microwave - Brushed Stainless Steel

Once again, its still just convection heating with a change in temperature and fan rate.

Not the same as grilling burgers on, you know, a grill.

In other words, be aware that companies are stretching definitions a bit out here.

Thats like making a flying car and saying, Well it also glidesandsoars.

You had me at flying car," you could stop there.

How do you use a combi wave?

Luckily, combi waves come with many helpful presets.

It has configs specific to melting chocolate and even softening butter.

Again, take care to use appliance specific pans and appropriate dishware depending on your units user guide.

Is a combi microwave worth buying?

Whether a combi wave is worth buying depends on your priorities, cooking style, and budget.

Conceptually, I find a single appliance that microwaves and air fries to be very attractive indeed.

However, the combi wave is still young, so unfortunately theyre rather pricey.

My guess is that well all have them once they come down in price in a couple years.

As for now, Ill stick with my un-combied wave.
