Ron and others,
We have a GE Convection/Micro combo on the boat. It also has a Broiler in
it and works so good we put one in the house. Linda loves the Convection for
bakeing and the broiler is very even. Most force 10 broilers you have to
move the food around alot because the broiler unit is so small the GE unit
is alot bigger and has forced air to help out. Our unit's model# is
JVM1190BY902 Very happy with unit But I also have Stock in GE, I don't think
If you were to buy one That I would see much of a pop in the stock.(maybe if
the bulls went shopping I would)

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. However I would miss the
broiler on my old Princess which I would be chucking out. I have seen a
Force 10 unit that is a stove top only with broiler under. This would
allow me to put a cupboard underneath BUT it is gas! I'd rather stick to
electric at this stage, much as I like gas for cooking I want to avoid
all the extra plumbing and tanks. Any feedback on electric stove tops
and convection/microwaves, recommendations and their performance would
be very much appreciated.

Thanks for the useful feedback.
What are the dimensions of your model? I'd like to see how it would fit.
I didn't realize they had broilers. Any thoughts on discount sources?
Next I want to locate a good stove top, preferably one that has pot
clamps - even on a stabilized trawler they come in handy!

Statement -- We also have stock in GE --- but not too impressed this
year.

REPLY
Ron's question reminds me of a thread we had several years ago when Paul Kruse elaborated on his cooking arrangements.

Recently I was asked by a neighbour ( a long distance trucker ) to help him set up his sleeper for better house keeping.
His new lady is getting her licence and they will team drive. To save money they intend to cook electrically on board while rolling.
I'm fitting the rig with an inverter and advising them on appliances.
You think a boat is space challenged, try a truck sleeper, even the big "condo" size house on wheels. <VBG>

Since I also live at the end of a 100' 30 amp shore cord I have experimented with various cooking arrangements.
The broiler that Ron mentioned missing can be replaced with an electric model such as the Sunbeam Carousel or rotisserie.
The electric heating element is only 600 watts, not the 2000 - 3000 watts you normally find in a domestic stove.
The vertical rotation axle means all fat drips off the meat into the grease catcher tray underneath.

Slow cookers or crock pots typically use 80 - 100 watts and are also likely candidates for onboard use.
I do have a Sharp microwave/convection oven combo but find that I rarely use the convection oven except to bake muffins and crisp the pizza and pie crust.

Cheers

convection oven/microwave unit

This thread triggered me to look at these devices a bit closer. A couple
of observations:

The capacity of the combination units is significantly smaller since
the extra structure required by the convection setup makes the walls
much thicker (overall size is the same).
Overall power requirements are about the same, typically 1.6kw, for
microwave or combination units.
The combination units I saw did not have the new sensor-controlled
variable power microwave technology
