Can you remove the cookwell and put the rack right on the floor of the oven with a roasting pan on top of that, or must you use the cookwell?

You could but right from the time I bought my first 1 over 30 yrs ago...I was told to always keep the cookwell in the unit...when you used it for keeping food warm at a party or so you can remove it and put some hot water in it and put a special collar on it n put 3 food pans in it to keep food hot...it is great for that....my 1st Nesco ,I bought ,because my stove oven died and I had to make cookies for a wedding...I baked over 1,300 cookies in it...I have bought 2 or 3 since....love them.

Yes. Any oven. Some ovens have the heat come through the bottom so I'd probably just recommend cutting out the area that the heat actually comes through or putting it on the first rack in the oven. I have 3 racks in my oven so just placed it on the lowest rack and it works great. Saved me a few times catching sweet potato spill overs

Yes, you can. The tray that comes with the oven is slightly larger than 9 x 11 inches and the interior of the oven is pretty spacious. I've only had it for about 2 weeks and have used it several times already. I do find that I have to cook/bake things longer than in a normal oven. I like it a lot. Hope this helps!

For most items that I cook you can put the baking dish directly on the oven rack. If I am cooking an item I know will spill over then I use a cookie sheet under the baking dish.

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.

They do. Not looking at it but 5 shelves that all come out plus a drip pan. Am on my second one and use them mostly for fish and jerky. But see no reason not to do a roast. Might want to set it in the drip pan itself and then half? way thru turn the meat over in the pan since the heat is higher at the bottom. I rotate the shelves, top to bottom, when doing fish or meat since the heat is higher lower down. When doing jerky etc that is what we always do.Have fun.

I bought this pan for a gift so I have not actually used it myself. It was very nice quality - but I would say no...this is definitely an oven roaster. While the pan was heavy....I just feel like direct heat on the bottom would cause whatever you were cooking to burn. I wouldn't do it!

My answer is going to be a bit different than what I've read by others. My intent is not to be controversial but to err on the side of caution. Mine sits on a counter top with a space of 10" from the top of the oven to the bottom of a kitchen cabinet. Either side of the oven has at least 6" of space. The bottom sits on the counter top on the units four mounted feet. Broiling a steak, chops, etc. is doing it's job at 500 degrees so if the unit didn't get hot then I doubt it would be doing its job. Naturally heat rises and disperses to the top and to each side. These would be areas I would not choose to touch while it's on for obvious reasons. I've had mine now for nearly a year without any problems. Giving proper attention by allowing the unit to have ventilation above and to each side; you shouldn't have any issues with heat.

The package instructions say not to put it on the floor of the oven (mine did at least) but I only have two shelves and do not have a heating element on the floor of my oven so I did put it on the bottom. If you have an element/coil down there then that would not work.

It's really not good to keep this on the pan when putting it in the oven because it does get VERY hot. Experienced this first hand. Best to remove from the pan after putting it in the oven and then you can use it when taking it back out.

There is a rack and one pan that can be used for baking or broiling. They both slide into slots on the sides of the toaster-oven.

To the best of my knowledge, you can use any oven proof pan as long as you have air circulation around the entire pan. Place pan on the lower bottom rack for best results.

As Jason mentioned, the heat need to originate from the bottom up. I have not seen any oven that works with heat located on top only.

Probably they are asking that because l have seen very same racks sold with turkey roaster. People put whole chicken/turkey on top of these rack which is placed in the pan and then put in oven.

i M arlene, I hope your question pertains to the DeLonghi oven? I printed out the insructns from the almost unreadable book, as follows. (1) Program/ toast (2) Function Selector Knob / Bake (3))Thermostat Knob at Toast/Broil .Use wire rack when toasting, place rack in the #2 slot position. Good luck with your cooking Marlene, let me kno how it works out, Mary W

Sandy W. I have done both, but have to place the rack so that it is lower in the oven, which means you need to watch the bottom of whatever you are cooking. If you are using a shallow baking dish that centers your food quite evenly, everything seems to work fine! Hope this helps!

this pan can be used in the oven for roasting. as far as broiling, only on a lower position setting inside of the oven. if set too high, it shall not onlt splatter hot gresse all over the oven, but it shall also damage the coating on the inside of this roasting pan. there is a difference between a broiling pan and a roasting pan. i don't use mine for broiling.
