- I love our microwave convection oven. I rarely use the other oven in the motorhome. I only use the rack when I have two things in the oven at one time. The only time I use the turntable is when I use microwave.
- No reason a pan should slide off unless you aren't level. Could that be it? I used all kinds. I have a rack I used for convection which allows air to flow underneath the pan. I used a silicon pan for the cinnamon rolls. . . for pizza we place it right on the rack. I also use a pizza stone for anything that we want crunchy. Whatever you use, it does have to turn freely. If it's an oversized pan, you will have to turn off the turntable. . . otherwise I never do.
On my Fridgidaire in my Texas room, the turntable cannot be shut off. For oversized pans, there is a rack that clips to the sides of the oven. So you use that so it remains stable.
Make sure your glass plate at the bottom is properly sitting on the guides.
Dale - We have a Whirlpool. The only time I tried to bake cookies, the pan slid off the turntable. Do you turn off the turntable? What baking pan are you using? Our oven has a raised round rack e are supposed to use for 1 level cooking ( not the nice one that is stable like a regular oven has... I want to figure out how to make this thing work. Help! Also, most of my recipes are for 9.x 13, too big for the oven.

Very good cinnamon rolls indeed! Have a couple left for this morning...will heat them briefly, 10-14 seconds in the convection oven!- I did cinnamon rolls yesterday in my convection. They raised correctly and were delicious!
Dale - Love my micro/convection. I had never had one before and when we became full-time it was the only oven I had. I have fixed anything and everything possible in it and all turns out.
For the person who's baked goods do not rise --- is your leavening agent old or the mix you are using old/past date? Super_Dave wrote:

Deb, (DW), has no problem with rising. might want to get an oven thermometer and check the temp.Super_Dave wrote:
I’ve had zero luck with the convection side of the microwave. Unless you’ve used convection before, it seems to me that it will take a lot of experimenting to figure it out.
Only thing you need to "figure out" is temperature and time on our Convection Microwave.
When we upgraded our rig it came with a GE Profile convection microwave. Easy to use, Select Convection bake, enter temp. then press start. When desired time is reached the microwave beeps. Put food in and set time.....That's it.
Our convection has whats called an Offset. You enter standard temp/time and the offset makes the adjustment for Convection cooking.
Have not used the gas oven for 4 years- Been using the same Sharp Carousel combo unit for 18 years.
After saying this, it will probably break next week - The things that I try to bake in the convection oven don't rise, what's up with that?
