Convection Microwave

[Rwake901]

We have a Convection Microwave in our motorhome. We have never used the convection oven part of it. For those of you that have do you leave the turn table in the oven when using it or take it out? Thanks

I leave the turntable in. Do note the warmup time (YMMV) and either take the time to pre-heat when the cooking instructions call for it, or add time to the specified baking time to account for it.

I frequently do frozen biscuits and have found that the official 20 minutes, which is perfect for a pre-heated oven, requires 24 minutes if I don't pre-heat. The turntable does insure even cooking/browning, which if you think about it, would be a problem, since having all the heat coming from one side could be expected to cook unevenly.

My DW uses the convection oven in the coach for everything. Liked it so much we put one in the house and she uses it far more than the stove oven. And leaves the turntable in

The convection part doesn't energize the microwave part. It's basically just a toaster oven with a fan to circulate the heated air around.

I leave the turntable in place....not sure if I'm supposed to. But, I've cooked several baked potatoes at 475 degrees for an hour at a time and so far no problems. Cooked a couple of breakfast casseroles in it as well...also left turntable in place. We don't do a lot of cooking inside the rig, and usually limit it to the above. Definitely o frying or anything that will lead to grease and heavy odors.
