By Heather Krasovec I recently tried the Cuisinart CMW-200 1-1/5 cubic foot Convection Microwave Oven With Grill for a period of two weeks. I did this so that I could provide an in-depth review to anyone considering purchasing this model. I put my usual microwave oven into storage and used this in its place. I did this so that I could get a clear picture of how this unit performs with normal daily usage. Here is my review. This Cuisinart microwave oven will cost you about $250 including the shipping.

By Maria Antoniet Fornillos Many just can't seem to cook a fish in the stove top grill pan correctly. For some, it becomes very funny that it seems to take forever to cook and yet the fish ends up dry. How does a grill pan really work? A grill pan is designed to closely imitate the grilling technique of cooking foods. The unique feature comes by slowly cooking food while sealing the juices in your fish fillets, fish steaks and even whole fish.
