I remember at sometime there was a change in the brand of the micro/convection oven does anyone know what year they made the change. The older r-pods have a Sylvania, I think the different models work about the same. David

Use it all the time, including doing a turkey breast for our thanksgiving dinner out camping last fall. Use the metal plate when cooking in convection or conv/micro combination modes but make sure to remove it if you are just going to use the microwave by itself ... microwaves and metal do not mix. The programming takes a bit of time to figure out but it isn't too complicated. The instruction book that comes with it is informative for about the first 2 uses and then got set aside. As others have stated cooking in a convection oven is slightly different than cooking in a regular oven. When cooking less than 15 minutes and 350 degrees it runs pretty much true to a regular oven, but if you are going to cook hotter or longer than that you will normally need to make some adjustments to either your cooking time (shorter) or temp (cooler).
It was a huge selling point to us when we were looking, and to me is much more flexible than the small gas ranges that you find in some trailers.

Took me 10 minutes to realize what it was you were talking about. Got it now, thanks for the info. Can't wait to do some test runs this Halloween season!

KyMooses summed it up perfectly. Use the convection the same as your home oven, watch closely at first as the convection fan circulates the air and tends to make the temps more even overall.

We too use the microwave often the convection option we use the pizza button for frozen pizza's. Would be nice to have a oven at times for somethings but what we have works great. David and Danette

Travel trailers are called the "dark side" because they don't have tenting (except the hybrids of course), and since they often have ovens I've often heard: Welcome to the dark side, we have cookies. |

Clean them well, pat dry with paper towels. Coat with oil and spread flat on a cookie sheet (at home) or oven-safe plate (for the pod). Salt to taste. I always forget the exact temp/time but I think around 300-325 for 15-20 minutes.

My wife says the convection microwave is one of the best things about the Pod. she bakes in the convection oven just like at home. We also use the microwave as a normal microwave. both functions work as they are supposed to as long as you are hooked to shore power.
It's so good that it is going to cost me money--now we have to get a convection microwave for our home!!! Vann |
