I am wondering when I should use rack and when use baking pan? What is difference? If I want to toast chicken breast or chicken wrings?

Put the pan in the second slots, then put the thermometer at 350 degrees. Pepper lightly, lay them on the grill and place in the top slots. Cycle the 30 minute timer twice. And BINGO, juicy chicken breasts with the grease drippings in the second slot pan. By the way, flip the breasts once after 15 minutes, or they'll stick to the grill.... ENJOY

Use the pan for chicken so that the oils don't drip through the oven and stay on the pan. Also, use the pan for anything that would drip, like burgers, etc. Use it just like you would a conventional oven. Whatever you would use a baking pan for in a conventional oven, use it in the toaster oven. The rack is good for dry toasting or baking like toast, bagels or other things you would put into a toaster, things that won't drip.

I'm not really sure as I didn't keep my toaster oven; I really didn't like it. I'm sorry I couldn't be of more help. But I would think you would use the rack for things like chicken breasts/wings, etc. and the baking rack for making cookies and other baking items.

I agree, use the baking pan for chicken breast, otherwise you might have a mess to clean up. Love mine.

These little "toaster ovens" have the temperature about 40 degrees higher than what you set them at. It's not a problem unless you're not aware of it. Try setting the temp about 50 degrees lower and try that. It should make an improvement. My preference for baking is a lower temp and let it simmer a bit longer. Meats are always better that way. If you like French fries, try baking them at 350 degrees for 45 minutes. They come out hot and soft, not burned and hard....

The rack is safe when you are baking food in the oven that you do not want submerged in food oil. You can also, cool baked goods on it.

With one pan you would have to bake twice. Having the two pan is quicker by baking once.

If you want a crispy crust I always bake the pizza right on the oven rack and just use the pan to retrieve it from the oven. Hope this helps! I love...love the pan though.

This is just a guess - since you raise the dough in the pan, once baking is started, the pan has to come up to temp. The pay-off is that the bread will have a more uniform and textured crust. I personally, would prefer the few extra minutes oven time to going back to traditional, or even silicone bread pans. I spend considerable time raising, punching down, kneading, raising etc., that a bit longer in the oven is a small price to pay. Hope this helps.

My experience with this rack is using it in either an indirect grilling/smoking method or slow roasting in the oven...Direct heat grilling leads to possible burning of the large end of the leg before chicken is actually done cooking...I would suggest the pan would only be used in an oven roasting scenario and if so I would put the pan well below the rack to catch drippings and allow for browning...I love mine on the smoker...Hope this helps...

The product is a bread pan, think small loaf of bread, or a modest sized meat loaf. Not sure what is meant by an oven roaster, but if you are referring to a chicken then this is not the pan you want.

I have the similar oven in white. It came with a broiler pan. It's not really a baking pan. I am thinking of getting some toaster oven bakeware for it, but the Nordic Ware sold on Amazon seems to have lots of bad reviews.

Keep in mind, this pan heats much faster than regular pan that is not tri-ply. Use only low to medium heat, do not cook on high heat unless you want to boil water quickly. I use it to make pan-fried chicken and sear meat before stewing with perfect crust without burning it. Because heat is distributed evenly I did not have problems with burned-on jam, or milk when I made yogurt. I love this pan, have to remind myself: a little heat goes a long way.

Oh, definitely you can bake with it in the oven. That is what it was designed for and why it is called a baking rack. You can also use it to carry your `cones' to whatever special event. My only complaint, and not about the rack itself, is you need a special box to put the two I bought in. I used the box the items were delivered in. I cut the end of the box off so the end piece would be a door and I could slide the two racks of decorated cones in. Spectacular results and were the hit of an event. Great product. cjs

I don't have the actual answer but we have noticed that our electric bill has gone down and we are now cooking more (it's only 2 of us). We have found that we need to drop the recipe cooking temp by 25 degrees and then the food will be done at recipe suggestion but need to check on progress last 10 min of time to make sure doesn't overcook. Oh, and when cooking on both racks we switch pans to opposite rack and turn to ensure that food is cooked evenly (esp true for cookies). Also, in summer it doesn't heat up the kitchen like a full size oven.

I like the bread mix for different types of yeast breads, pizza crust etc. I use the pancake mix for light breads and pancakes of course. They each bake to a different texture.

When I preheat to bake, I usually set the temperature and wait a minute or 2 and then put it in. It usually works for me. Each toaster/oven is different. You will just have to try to see which will be best for your oven.

No, it is not necessary to run the oven prior to using it the first time. To get the most from your oven I would, however, strongly suggest that you get the instruction book from the supplier. It contains info on how to place the rack and pan for various functions. I still refer to the quick start guide when changing functions. The manual may be available to print online. It also contains some recipes.

Hi,I am in seach of a good countertop oven to use mostly for the rotisserie feature and for meat, pork and not chicken - most reviews focus on baking and chicken. Would you have any specific suggestions or just features/ qualities that I need to look for? I take it that convection would be big deal here. I see a lot of complaints about how flimsy the applicances look and the external heating... Any help will be appreciated, thanks!

I bought mine to cool cakes and cookies. It has never occurred to me to put this type of rack in the oven. Can't help there.

Add a cup of water to the 8 x 8 pan, preheat and when water is boiling place filets on rack. Only enough room for 2 small filets at a time. I love this oven, it is my favorite small appliance. It is perfect for one person. It does not heat up the kitchen and uses very little electricity. I never use my big oven any more.
