Can you use bake without convection?

Is this a convection oven? I do not think so. It uses standard elements and does not have a fan.

You cannot use the rotisserie function and the convection at the same time. They are two different selection choices. However. I have had this oven for a few months now and I have stopped using my big oven altogether. I am still loving this oven and I use it almost every day.

The only real purpose of the turntable is is microwave your food evenly. For convection ovens you would not need a turntable. That theory is the moving air. However, under the "IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS" On page 5 of the user manual item 2 states "2. The glass turntable and turntableassembly must be in the oven duringcooking. Handle the glass turntablecarefully and place cookware on it gently"

Look back Mark because you may have gotten mixed up- as I did too. There are microwaves & then there are smart ovens- convection ovens that have cutting board on top. The board on top is there for a reason- without it- the top becomes a warming plate. However, I have the microwave also- it does not vent from top, so you could put one up there. Hope this helps.

I use this oven for absolutely everything. The instructions say to figure the convection is hotter than a regular oven by about 25 degrees. So when I want to bake something at 350 degrees, I set it at 325 degrees. This has worked consistently well. I use it for baking, re-heating, toasting, broiling, roasting, you name it. It is my absolute favorite appliance. I just worry that it will disappear from the market to be replaced by one that doesn't have the incredibly convenient touch panel in the front. I could operate that thing in my sleep! My sister has one too (thanks, Costco) and she loves it as much as I do. I use this oven for absolutely everything.

Look on Amazon for convection cookbooks. You may also try other brands websites for downloads of cookbooks.

Yes, you can bake anything. It's not just a convection oven. It has a bake setting too, along with broil and rotisserie.

No broil, just convection baking. It is super fast and real good, trust me.

Dry flour will not work. You can use a wet batter. This device is a tiny convection oven. It will not change the outside coating like frying in "wet" deep frying oil.

Absolutely. Same as with a regular oven, you should only go as high as it's rated- for most glass ovenware, 350. I use glass bakeware most of the time in mine. If you use the convection setting, watch it, as it can get done quicker.

Not quite sure how convection oven works, however this one circulates hot air over, under and around. Little oil required. Frying crispy without lots of oil. Also cooks fast. I like it for cooking and convenience. Hope this helps.

HI,I'm also a bit puzzled by this.I use convection most of the time. But I found that pizza doesn't do well with convection so I use conventional in that case. I think things that tend to dry out in moving hot air might not be good candidates for convection.I have very good success with frozen breaded fish fillets and french fries in the convection mode.

No, it is not as efficient as a convection oven, it doesn't even "fry" food evenly

Wrap the muffins (and most foods) in foil so they don't get dried out and crusty. Think of what would happen if you used a hair dryer on the food. The convection oven replaces frying and deep frying more so than microwaving, but it is a good alternative for many things as it adds flavor rather than destroying it like a microwave. Get a Sunbeam Hot Shot for boiling water.

Conventional/convection oven safe, yes. Not microwave oven safe. People sometimes bake cakes in steel mixing bowls.

Yes, remone the metal rack before microwaving or you run the risk of causing arcing which can burn out your oven. Whether to use the rack while convecting is a judgement call. By placing a pie on the rack to bake, you will never have a soggy bottom crust again. But over baking the bottom of other desserts may not be desirable. This is the best microwave-convection oven I've ever used, but you do need to spend some time working out how to get the best results out of it. Have fun.
