My new best friend in the kitchen (and no it's not another TM)

I got a new (secondhand) massive sharp convection microwave for Christmas and I'm loving it. It is so much better than my oven. I have had so much success cooking everything like cakes, sponges, slices, biscuits and bread rolls. I havnt tried to make a loaf of bread as yet but that's certainly one of the next things on my list.
Just had to share my excitement with all my Forum buddies (although I havnt been around much lately I am still here)

My last microwave was 16litres where this one is 41.5 litres so it is huge compared to what I am used to.

Hey Mandi, wondering where you had got to.  So happy for you, if anyone needed a decent oven it was you 

[dede]

Yes true Judy. I think I have done my fair share of complaining about my oven in the last year. I have had my TM for 1 whole year now (13th Jan) and still really love using it. Now I have my convection microwave just makes everything so much easier. I think I'm set up now. Thermie on one side and the microwave on the other. I have already decided that if the microwave decides to die on my I would Definitly be buying a new one.

I will keep you posted how I go with the bread. Just got to find the right size tin.

You will really get into the cooking mode now.

Yes cookie1 your right, although I have bearly stopped since owning a TM , I have slowed down while the kids are on school holidays but now my DH and my DS (who recently got an apprentiship) are both at work I had a big cook up this weekend so they have plenty of choose from. Now I have the convection microwave I feel more confident that the baking side of my cooking will be a success as well.

I had a Sharp Convection Microwave and it was just brilliant! When I remodelled the kitchen there was no room for it, so I sold it to my sister. She uses it all the time and loves it.
