   We use the microwave all the time, but have only used the convection option to roast pumpkin seeds.  We attend a big Halloween fest every year and carve our pumpkins after we get there - and I love roasted seeds with oil and salt.

	Love it, use if often, make most anything we make at home in the oven without much of a change in cooking time or temp. That being said, I think it helps if you can cook by knowing something is done versus a true time. Seems a lot of ovens vary. A lot of us will recommend getting to know your oven by making chocolate chip cookies. The store bought fridge rolls work great. It's an easy test of your ovens true temp and cooking time. Besides that no one ever minds a slightly over cooked chocolate chip cookie. And if it's under cooked then you just learned a bit about your oven's temp and you can dial in on that setting. Other than that, always use the little raised metal table that comes in it. As you likely know that allows the convection to work by letting the air up and underneath what you're making. That's not to say you have to use it, but then especially we've had to change cooking times dramatically.

	First of all I would like to thank all who responded to my earlier posts on "age of poders" and "cost of insurance". Now another one. Can anyone offer feedback on the convection microwave oven. Do you use it, is it any good, any shortcomings? We are about two weeks away from the 178 and can't wait. Thanks.
