How does convection heat food in a microwave oven?

A microwave convection oven is an appliance that combines the technology of a microwave oven and a convection oven. It uses microwaves to cook food quickly and evenly, and convection to evenly distribute heat throughout the oven.

When the oven is turned on, the microwaves are released from the walls of the oven and penetrate the food. The microwaves cause the molecules in the food to vibrate, which generates heat. This heat is then distributed evenly by the convection fan, which circulates heated air around the food, cooking it quickly and evenly.

The convection fan also helps to ensure a more even baking of cakes and other items, as it moves the hot air around to ensure a more even distribution of heat.

The combination of microwaves and convection allows for faster cooking times and more even cooking results than with either technology alone.
