microwaveconvective
Microwave-convective refers to a class of heating technologies that combine microwave irradiation with conventional convection heating to process materials, most notably food. In household and industrial contexts, devices pair dielectric heating with hot-air or steam convection to achieve faster processing with improved surface texture.
In operation, microwave energy (typically at 2.45 GHz) penetrates the material and excites polar molecules, generating
Applications include combi-ovens for home cooking and foodservice, and industrial microwave-convective drying and tempering, where products
Advantages and challenges: The method can deliver faster processing, better color, texture, and moisture control, and
Safety and standards: Appliances with microwave-convective capabilities must meet electrical safety and electromagnetic compatibility requirements, and
