Counter top ovens or Convector dual use microwaves

Thanks for all your help and advice. Trying to calm myself down this last few days at end of house moving saga, I have followed up researching(on line) and have definitely decided to go with a combination convector microwave with grill.

I have a Neff combi grill/microwave and it’s great. I use it every day!

I'm looking for advice on what to put the food on to cook it.
Surely you can't put a metal plate in it, but a glass dish would crack from the heat of the grill?

I sound like an absolute idiot!!!

I have had 3 Panasonic counter top microwave/grill/convection ovens and I use it all the time. It also has combinations to do microwave/grill, convection/microwave etc. I’d recommend them every time and it wouldn’t bother me not to have the large oven. Just a note of caution; to get the best out of it decide what features are important. John Lewis are good for advice but last time I bought one I couldn’t do baked potatoes with micro/oven combination as I bought the wrong one.

They are quite expensive but I would be lost without it now.

Blinko, does your microwave have a grill?
I'm ashamed to say, the reason I am asking is that my microwave has a grill, but I haven't a clue what dishes to use in it for cooking, or even worse , how to actually work the grill part.

I'm in a similar position in that I have a 4 ring cooker,double oven and grill yet only ever use 2 rings (apart from 1 day in December) at once.
I'm looking at getting a table top 2 ring induction plate plus an all singing microwave and creating more work space in my compact kitchen.

I have a convection/combi microwave oven. I rely on it completely and never in fact use the main oven. That's where I keep my pots and pans.

The combi microwave is a Panasonic and it's brilliant!

Watching with interest, seems mad to heat an oven for four fish fingers!!
