Do all of the models require turning of the food being cooked?

When cooking a whole chicken it is not necessary to turn it. A roast either. It is only the individual pieces of chicken, chops, steak, etc., that need to be flipped. I love this oven and purchased one for each of my grown children who also love theirs.

Depends on what you're cooking, but most of the time yes. Not a big deal though. Yesterday I cooked a rock solid frozen 2 inch NY strip steak to perfect restaurant quality medium rare in a little more than 30 minutes. The thing really works...

I never turn my food and I have the pro version. I don't think you have to turn it on any of the models, but I could be wrong.

Not really, it just helps for things like a thick steak 3/4 - 1 inch, to brown both sides, and to cook it evenly. The heating element is in the top, much like the broiler in your oven. So with the temp at 420 degrees or so... It will broil a steak quicker on top. But even if you don't, it'll get cooked. Thin pieces of meat get cooked very quickly before the broiling effect makes much of a difference

Sorry I havent really used that feature yet, but I really like this oven a lot. The rotisserie is great too.

The lights indicate which heating element is on during the cooking. There are no moving parts to the rotisserie. Works good.

The unit is not designed for use with uncooked food. If a recipe calls for uncooked meats, it should be fully cooked before combining with other ingredients and heating it in the unit.

You can do either method but I just use it as a weight and flip. Heating it by itself can drip grease (from seasoning cast iron) onto the burner and I don't want the mess. The handle gets very hot so be sure to use an oven mitt...ove gloves are great!!!

Yes it does. Not a bad feature when cooking it spins on the ball hinge (both sides) to cook the other side. Both sides form a ball that fits into the housing of the base. When you close it you can then spin on the ball to cook the other side. The top side is designed to stand open as seen in the image.

Yes. You have to manually turn them but there is an automatic egg turner for this you can buy.

The knob is not to be turned. It is stationary to give you a solid grip. Push the small teeth under the knob into the piece of food and then just push the knob back and forth.

NO. The bottom rotates because if it didn't it would be heated up too much in one place and warp. That is mentioned in the instructions, and they also say to allow the heating element to cool down for a minute before stopping the platter, or it could warp.

Depends on the setting you put on it. Sometimes depending on the heat of the machine, they will come out cooked from the outside and undercooked from the inside. You just have to mess with it at first to fix the settings and after the first batch, it should be just fine.

There are just for show. The oven knobs are turnable though. She loves her vintage kitchen and plays with quite a bit and I really love the look of it. would recommend but if you are looking for something more interactive this is probably not the one to go for.

I remove the racks. When baking you use the racks just like you would in your oven, except because it is convection you can bake on both racks at the same time. Baking is done on the racks (Think like it's an oven, you would not bake on the oven floor). The turn table can be turned off so it does not rotate. What is nice about the turn table is it does not need to be changed (or removed) because it works on Micro or Convection: It is ceramic. You can't go wrong with this one. Lots of room in it & turn table bigger the others (the size of a large pizza). Do some more research on how to cook & Bake in a Convection Oven (this is just one fast reference; http://www.cadco-ltd.com/convectioncook.html) The unit does come with a recipe booklet too. I personal LOVE convection & use it only. It took a while to learn how to convert & get the best results but well worth it. I now use it 80% of the time. Any other question or if you'd like more info on cooking/baking with convection I'll be glad to help.

No it's on the other side. You can use the rotisserie and the side burner at the same time.

yes you have to turn the pizza. Also be sure to use cornmeal on the peel before making your pizza so it doesn't stick

I have used the griddle on either side. The sear station is not activated unless you turn it on separately from the burners. I have not used the griddle and the sear at the same time.

You really don't need it. Set the temp w/left button and time w/right button. There is nothing to assemble and it cooks great and in less time.
