Here's a link to a site that has a number of recipes specifically for the conv/micro ovens:

YRMV but at least the model convection oven we have operates and cooks no differently that our standard oven at home. If anything things seems too cook just a little bit slower in our Pod, but that's only slight differences. If you can cook it at home try it in your Pod. We just make most dishes or casserole type meals in a pyrex 8x8 pan and things turn out very well. Often times we adjust recipes we already use at home and just make them in smaller batches in our oven! Only hard part is remembering how to set the goofy clock each time! ------------- https://calendar.google.com/calendar?cid=cnBvZC5zcG90dGVyQGdtYWlsLmNvbQ - RPod Rallies https://www.google.com/maps/d/embed?mid=1W1foQXGtrjf8aYly1uh0b-bHPfI&hl=en_US - RPod Owner Map |

I have one really basic question. Do you leave the glass turntable in or take it out when using convection-only mode or grill mode? It looks like it stays in, but the manual doesn't specify, and I don't want to crack it.
thanks! |

Three seasons and we've always left ours in! ------------- https://calendar.google.com/calendar?cid=cnBvZC5zcG90dGVyQGdtYWlsLmNvbQ - RPod Rallies https://www.google.com/maps/d/embed?mid=1W1foQXGtrjf8aYly1uh0b-bHPfI&hl=en_US - RPod Owner Map |

 Do you have a convection oven at home or just a regular oven?

The glass tray always stays inside the oven, regardless of whether you are using the microwave, convection or both. The metal tray is only used when using the convection oven settings, or the combination settings. If you are just going to microwave something make sure to remove it. ------------- P & M ... and Comet too! 2012 171 -- The Monkey Pod 2018 Ram 2500 |

At home we have a electric/convection oven also. We just have the option of whether to turn on the convection or not. I rarely use that setting at home, the DW does for baking and swears by it. ------------- https://calendar.google.com/calendar?cid=cnBvZC5zcG90dGVyQGdtYWlsLmNvbQ - RPod Rallies https://www.google.com/maps/d/embed?mid=1W1foQXGtrjf8aYly1uh0b-bHPfI&hl=en_US - RPod Owner Map |

When using Pirex do I sit the Pirex on the metal stand or sit it on the glass tray? Also I have a round piece of what I believe to be a silicone mat on the glass tray in the micro/convection. Is that what it is? Can I cook on it? That crazy clock drives me bonkers. ------------- 2012/177/2004 Chevy Tahoe |

We have a new 178. We did not get any sort of manual for the microwave/convection oven. I found a .pdf for the model 22200, but apparently the new 178 has a different model Sunbeam. Does anyone have a link to where I can download the manual? Thanks! -------------  [/URL]

If you have a silicone mat I would leave it, they are able to take high temperatures. Since Pyrex can be placed right in the oven at home I would do the same for the convection oven.

I found ours. It was so small that it was hidden in some other papers. Bottom line is that the unit is 1000 watts and we will go find a mic/convection cookbook that works with this power level. ------------- [/URL]

We've found that anytime you do anything in the oven you should always use the little metal plate, it helps everything cook better. Except popcorn, that does fine just on the glass plate. ------------- https://calendar.google.com/calendar?cid=cnBvZC5zcG90dGVyQGdtYWlsLmNvbQ - RPod Rallies https://www.google.com/maps/d/embed?mid=1W1foQXGtrjf8aYly1uh0b-bHPfI&hl=en_US - RPod Owner Map |
