What the different between conventional cooking and micro-bake cooking?

Conventional oven cooking is just that. Cooking something, or baking it rather, in a conventional oven. Micro-baking is where one takes a food item, frozen pizza for example, and nukes it in the microwave or a period of time before putting it in the conventional oven to finish. If done properly you get the same quality as conventional oven cooking in less time without the soggy results of only cooking in the microwave.
