Can anyone tell the difference between Microwave and Microwave Oven, please.
This might be a stupid question, but I really need to know, hehe...

Microwave is the 'name' of the wave that is used in sattelite transmission or oven amongst other utilities.
Mocrwave oven is specifically an oven that cooks using microwaves to excite the water particles, which becomes hot, in the food to cook it.

hmm..
It's weird though, I was buying a new microwave oven, and there were two selections 'microwave' and 'microwave oven'.
Now, go figure which one I need.

Felix, explained it good. I don't know what I'd do without a microwave oven.

What you are looking at is probably a microwave vs. a microwave with a a convection oven. I believe this functions more like a traditional oven, but I'm not quite sure. My parents had a convection (sp???) oven. I have no clue what mine is. Cheap Sanyo that cost me $89 (yet has 1,000 Mico-watts of power and is full size). DOn't go for the really cheap ones as they just take longer to cook stuff.

I thought microwaves had something to do with miniature surfers.

Nope, there is no such thing as a microwave with a convection oven.
I convection oven is simply an oven with a fan, so you don't get cold pockets in the oven, usually the convection ovens are made smaller, but that's the only difference.
A microwave and microwave oven are the same thing.....when you are in an appliance store.

You know, I'm always amazed at how small these things are. Obviously, they make them that way so you can fit the miniature surfers in them; but it is, nonetheless, a fine engineering achievement.

I suspect that what Bogdan saw was just two different terms used by two or more different manufacturers. Or if he was shopping online, just two different ways in which similar products were entered into a database.

CONVICTION OVENS
Wow... I didn't even know there was such a thing as a conviction oven.
For what crimes is one sentenced to such a thing?

Stop laughing like that. This is serious. We may have an inhumane use of technology involved, here... It's one thing to discipline your cat with the microwave; but this matter of conviction ovens could be downright inhospitable.
