Have been using combination microwaves for over 30 years, at home not on a boat. The modern ones will roast meals/heat food etc in a quarter of the time of a domestic oven which is a massive help when working to the extent that I rarely used my oven I, tend not to use it so much now am retired and have more time to cook They are also very cheap now, the first one I bought in the 1980's was £350, the latest, a Panasonic, was £160 a year or two ago.
