  • A busy morning, pastry chilling in the fridge (steak & mushroom filling made in SC yesterday), just taken a batch of brownies out of the oven, dough for seeded bread is rising for baking a bit later on. The house smells lovely! :)

    I've just bought a new three in one microwave oven: microwave, grill, and convection.

    Up until now I've baked my bread in my conventional convection oven, but it is pretty old and takes a long time to heat up. My question to moneysavers is this: Can I bake conventional bread ie an ordinary 2lb loaf in a microwaves inbuilt convection oven?

    On the face of it it would seem to be a more economic way to bake with only a quarter of the space to heat up. Would you agree?

    Tips and suggestions for using this type of oven for baking much appreciated.
