We are also planning on the GE Microwave/convection oven approach to reduced appliance space. As a test of this feasibility, we cooked a couple of dinners at a friends home using their GE unit. We fixed a casserole, a roast, a cake, and the kids insisted on testing cookies, too. We found that all cooked just as it had in our wall electric oven, perhaps just a little faster. Based on our test we have chosen to use the space of an oven for more storage. For a cooktop, we are also going electric which allowed us to install a Jennair range/grill with interchangeable burner cartridges. When we want to broil/grill we put in the grill cartridges, for other cooking we use the burners, most time we configure for half grill/half burners. We've used this unit in our home for years and it has been great for grilling anytime we want. -Wray M/V Anjumal At 12:00 AM 9/17/2002, "ronald barr" <rwhb@msn.com> >In order to get extra cabinet space in the galley I was considering >going to an electric 3 burner stove top and a convection oven/microwave >unit to mount on the overhead - GE, Sharp etc.
