Bread – Toast bread slices in a convection microwave

breadmicrowave

Does a convection microwave make decent toast, as a toaster oven would or a bone fide oven set to broil? I have read far and wide on the internet and in operating manuals for Sharp, Bosch, etc. convection microwaves and have come up empty handed. I know you can't make toast in a microwave, but these are convection microwaves we're talking about here.

Would prefer to hear from someone who actually owns one of these things instead of someone just reading things like "CompuBroil®, CompuRoast®, CompuBake® – automatically compute broiling, roasting, and baking times/temperature settings." from the www.sharpusa.com website like me 🙂

Additional specific requirements for our situation are an "Over The Range" (OTR) solution, for which there are often microwave and convection microwave solutions that include 300CFM ventilation and lighting for our cooktop. We're not looking for a countertop unit. Hence the desire to see if these convection microwave units can do the deed!

Thanks in advance!

I know it's a old post.. But I just made toast in my microwave/convection combo and its' good.. I defrosted my bread in the microwave, the put it on a the metal rack for 10 minutes at 425. It worked !!! I know it's 10 minutes but it allowed me to cook the eggs etc...
