I don't have the metal pan that came with this unit for convection baking. Can I use any oven-safe metal pan instead?

I had a damaged one, and they sent me one at no cost. I'm pretty sure that any pan made for convection baking will work but look at your user guide for acceptable cookware.

I didn't receive a metal pan with my oven & have always used any oven-safe cookware.

Convection gets you browning that you just can't get with a non-convection oven. I work in a bakery and it's frustrating trying to duplicate some of the things we make there when I bake at home. I now have a TOB-195 convection toaster oven, and it's a big help. Things like roasted chicken, fruit crisps, and even cookies take on a different, often superior quality from the convection aspect of the baking. It takes some getting used to, but you can get results that are impossible (or at least much more difficult) with a non-convection oven. I'm thinking about replacing my other Cuisinart with this one because of the brick and rotisserie features. With a high end toaster oven like my the one I have or this, I only turn on my regular oven to make a big pan of muffins or a cake bigger than 9".

I saw a trim kit but realistically this model is pretty big so you would need a big space. I have seen smaller similar convection/mocrowave ovens you might want to use for above an oven

Is this a convection oven? I do not think so. It uses standard elements and does not have a fan.

Yes you can. You can cook with metal trays (and you must cook with metal trays) in the convection function. You choose whether you use this machine as a microwave (no metal trays) or convection oven just like your regular oven at home (using metal trays). I made bread, biscuits, cakes, and brownies in metal trays using the convection function then turn around and defrost my steak and cook my broccoli using microwave in a glass tray or on a paper plate. You get to choose. I love this machine.

To be sure I would suggest that you check with the manufacturer of your oven; they often use secondary parts but you should double check

Yes, you can bake anything. It's not just a convection oven. It has a bake setting too, along with broil and rotisserie.

Yes, remone the metal rack before microwaving or you run the risk of causing arcing which can burn out your oven. Whether to use the rack while convecting is a judgement call. By placing a pie on the rack to bake, you will never have a soggy bottom crust again. But over baking the bottom of other desserts may not be desirable. This is the best microwave-convection oven I've ever used, but you do need to spend some time working out how to get the best results out of it. Have fun.

Hello Kevin - I don't think this will be an issue, we use ours all the time in a regular convection oven. As long as you are not putting more than 500 deg.s F directly on to the pan it should work just fine. We have had ours for well over a year now and they look as good as new...just soak them overnight to loosen off any really tough baked-on residue then wash them in warm soapy water the next day, it all comes right off. We are converts to GraniteWare - no more "Bakers Secret" non-stick for us (the secret is - they suck!).

They suggest metal pans; I have used coated metal and muffin pans so far and both worked great

you can cook with and without convection as there are separate buttons on the controls. There is also no convection in the top oven.

Not sure, Look up the model number on the manufactures website and cross reference the element in your oven to the one your interested in, good luck.

yes, that is where I use it, in my convection oven. Do not use it to microwave!

I don't see why you couldn't use the compartment to bake in the oven, since it's a metal container. However, it does have a plastic lid so you would have to use foil to cover.

Yes, one can use aluminum foil in this oven. I often line the oven tray with foil when cooking food so the tray remains clean.

I'm not sure because I had mine in convection oven. I ended up throwing it away. The way the convection oven cooks it ended up blowing the matt up off the oven floor which in turn sent food and liquids from the pan underneath the mat and making a mess in the oven anyway. Sorry I could not be more help.
