Our Sharp microwave convection oven is perfect for pies. The pizza function with presets works well and one frozen pizza is all we ever cooked. Frozen pies likewise do well- just lower the stated temp by 25 degrees (the GE stove with a convection oven automatically goes 25 degrees lower than you set the temp). Wonderful with rotation and turning off when time done. Also for pizza no preheating a big oven. There is a preheat for baking pies and not huge wattage but not using a big oven for these is nice.

I really like pulling hot stuff out directly at counter height- no reaching or bending. We have placed a microwave in the corner which gives a triangle of space behind it (an otherwise often wasted space corner) and gives room to easily take things out.

I’m into shortcuts- any recipe./directions I give are likely to be as streamlined as possible. H is NO gourmet, and I like to cook (the chemist in me).
