"Hello there y’all! It feels good that I have finally kept my promise to Nags, and sent her this read to share with you all here on MMKT. Nags, a big, heartfelt ‘Thank You’ to you for giving me an opportunity to share this article about my LG convection oven with your readers. I’m tickled pink!

I’ve spent a better part of my life baking, thanks to the baking bug running in the family. It goes right back till my great grand-mom, and am I glad I inherited those genes or what?!! Thank you fore-mothers! When I was little, I used to see great-grandmom and grandmom bake in their stove-top oven, filled with sand, and a cake would take what felt like eons to bake in it. The taste was great nonetheless. Later, when I was old enough to help Amma with baking, she got a round electric oven, which was treated with more love and care than anything else around the house back then. It was a piece of treasure to Amma and me. God, how many baked goodies we’ve made in that oven…I can’t even remember. Come Saturdays, and Nani (my maternal grandmom) would come over, and the three generations of women in the house, would be huddled in the kitchen, baking away! I couldn’t care less about getting in their way, but that is how I’d say the bug latched onto me like a leech, and hasn’t let go till date. We baked with the round oven for a good 15 years, and then Amma got a MW Convection Oven to save space in the kitchen. And ever since then, I’ve been in love with MW Convection ovens, ‘cos they work like a charm!

So when I had to set up my house, I opted for a 26 litre, LG Convection MW Oven (Model No - MC
7648WH) after a lot of market and internet surveys on price/features/capacity. It fit the budget that wehad set, and I was happy with the features. So it was a win-win situation for both the hubby, and me! He still wins hands down ‘cos he gets to eat all the scrummy stuff I churn out from the oven, doesn’t he? ;)

My LG Convection oven I should say, has never failed me (knock on wood) and I’ve never once regretted buying it. It is one of the best deals in the market if I could say so, without sounding partial to LG. Every baked goodie featured on Cook-curry Nook has been made in my LG oven, and I’m proud of it.

The first time I baked in it, I made these Chocolate Fudge Brownies, and they were simply yum-de-dum! Apart from the regular Microwave mode, and having a convection mode to bake in, the oven also boasts of grill and combination cooking modes.

Key Features:

• Intellowave Technology
• Multi cook Tawa
• 36 Auto Cook Menus
• Indian Auto Cook Menu
• Next Step Guide
• Quick Start
• Steam Clean
• Health Plus Menu

Where we bought it: Devi International Electronics, Jayanagar, Bangalore.

How much it cost us: INR 11990 was the quoted price when we bought it in December 2009; however, since we bought 4-5 of our big electronic gadgets from the store while setting up our house, we got it at INR 10,000, which was quite a steal. I’m sure this model costs a tad less now. For more information, you could also look it up on the LG website here."

Thanks for sharing your review on your LG convection oven Mads. I am sure people will find it useful :)
