Baking or Roasting - Microwave

Using the Baking Tray for Baking or Roasting in the Microwave

The convection system circulates hot air through the microwave oven cavity with a fan. The constantly moving air surrounds the food to heat the outer portion quickly.

  • The microwave oven cavity and door will become hot during the Convection Roast cycle. Oven mittens are recommended.
  • Use the provided convection (short) rack.
  • Do not cover turntable or convection rack with aluminum foil as it interferes with the circulation of hot air.
  • Do not use light plastic containers, plastic wrap, or paper products. All oven proof cookware or metal utensils can be used with the Convection Bake function. (Round pizza pans are excellent cooking utensils for many convection only items.) Metal utensils cannot be used with the Convection Roast function.
  • No special techniques are needed to adapt standard oven recipes to convection cooking, although some temperatures might need to be reduced and some cooking times might need to be shortened. Using a convection pan, the Bake/Roast function may be used for convection cooking. Times and cooking powers have been preset for a number of food types. Use the following chart as a guide.
