Microwave is used only for heating. Microwaves cannot fry because heating is done by vibrating the elements of the content. For frying or roasting a normal heater (used in ovens ) is provided. Generally the microwave builder provides grills (steel wire build frames) for carrying the content to be grilled or roasted. Or simply microwave with heater element is known as grill microwave. If this grill microwave is provided with a high speed fan which directs hot air thro the heating element, this will called as convection.A microwave cooks food by using microwaves which causes the food paticles to vibrate and generate heat. this process is very fast and care should be taken not to use any metal container. The other two use direct heating coils - in grill, the coil is on the top, so you cook the food from the top side only (the heat so generated cooks the inside also, but higher intensty is on the top, say like a pizza), while the convection has a coil both on the top and bottom of the oven, used for baking. These two are slower than microwave.
