We're a bit limited with only a microwave and a grill, and I'm wondering if a small portable convection oven would be a nice addition to the galley. Anyone running one of these? If so, how do you like it? We have a 6.5kW genny.

Anyone running a portable convection oven?

We have a convection oven at our shore house and really like it because it is fast and it does not heat up the room very much. We make a lot of Mac and cheese which the grandkids love, easy to make.
Ours is fairly large so it would take up a lot od counter space on a boat, but it has limited power so it takes a lot of time to bake large amounts of meat like a big rack of ribs.

My microwave on the boat is a 3-way with micro-convection & grill all in one unit. The convection is very handy.

Ours, too. Sharp R820. Works well, and we use it all the time...

There are 110VAC models Bruce.

That Sharp 820 looks sweet, there's even an option to cabinet mount it. In some of the reviews people are saying they roast whole chickens in it. This is exactly what I'm looking for, something to roast meats in when the weather is too nasty to cook outside on the grill.
Anyone know what max temp is for the convection oven? I don't see this listed in the specs.

Hmm, I wasn't even aware of the 3 way micros. It looks like there are cabinet mount models available that I may be able to replace our current microwave with. This might be the perfect solution.
My SO has a 2 way micro in her home. The problem with using the convection side is the thing takes forever (hours) to cool. You cannot use the microwave option until it cools below a certain temp.
YMMV.

WTF!
That's gotta be a typo!
Yeah I know, points off my man card...
We try to spend every Thursday through Saturday night on the boat as a family no matter what during the season, rain or shine. Sometimes, on rare occasion, it would be nice to be able to cook a nice hot meal inside when it's raining and the wind is blowing.

Don't know, but you can download the manual from here http://files.sharpusa.com/Downloads.../MicrowaveOvens/Manuals/mic_man_R820BC_JS.pdf and see if it specifies.
