I got a Sunbeam Microwave oven with my R178. There's a round metal disk that comes with it. I think it's used for baking but I'm not certain. Has anyone used it? Is it safe to use on microwave mode?

Is there a glass tray also? If so then only use the glass tray in micro mode. If not, then the metal tray stays in no matter what the mode. (ours does)

You'll use that little tray disk on convection mode. Helps things cook properly. ------------- 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 |

Looks like there's a glass try in there also. Thanks for the advice. I thought it kinda risky that they would put a metal try in a microwave unless it had some special properties.

Metal in a microwave in and of itself is not bad.. after all the microwave is made of.. metal. It has to do with amount of metal and it's edges/reflective angles. Like I said, ours is designed that the metal platter is in there always, but FR uses a couple different microwaves, so it depends on which you have. BTW, no matter which you have, if you pop microwave popcorn, put it on a microwave safe plate that is inverted, holding the bag at least 1/2 inch above the platter. You will have MUCH better results that way.  ------------- |

Glass for when using microwave only ... metal on glass for when using the convection oven or the combination micro/convection settings. ------------- P & M ... and Comet too! 2012 171 -- The Monkey Pod 2018 Ram 2500 |

We just cover the metal tray with foil when using the convection oven. Makes chicken nuggets perfectly (kids!) and even worked for cookies!

We found a pizza pan that fits perfectly, and cook everything on it, but your answer is pure genius. ------------- |
