How is this dish for baking a whole chicken in the microwave? Does it compare to the Princess House Fantasia Bake, Serve & Store 3-Qt. Casserole dish

I don't know. I use Simax in my regular oven and it works great. I only use my microwave to reheat leftovers and the Simax works great for that. Simax glassware is fantastic cookware and I own multiple sizes.

I don't know. I can say that I love this round dish and use it often for casseroles. It does well with baking those. It fits great in my Longaberger round insulated bag and round entertainer basket.

This was a gift for my daughter. She has baked a chicken pot pie and said it was the perfect size. I do not believe she has or will use it in the microwave.

The bottom of the baking pan is 9 1/2" X 9 1/2", so you could make a small lasagna. You could bake a small cake as well. Chicken parts would probably work better than a whole chicken. It is, after all, a toaster oven. Maybe you want to get the larger one?

I'm sorry Sheila, I really wish I had as experience as you seem to have had, cooking for a family seems impossible since it cooks small amounts of food at a time. I found nothing juicy, tender nor crispy with the food and believe I tried various foods and temperatures before I returned it. I still feel its total waste of money a convection counter oven does a wonderful job, fast, juicy, crispy food in half the time of a regular oven and cooking spray still offers grease feel food. And takes up less space without all the clear up!

Where did you come up with the measurement of 10.7x5x5 for the carrier? I honestly do not know just what the measurements for the carrier are, but for CERTAIN the 3 quart casserole dish fits nicely into it, and there is even a little space around it. I have carried 3qt casseroles in the carrier so many times I cannot count them all. In fact I wore out one carrier, and had to buy a new one...and all my 3qt casserole dishes fit just fine into the carrier with the "hot pack" to keep things warm, and it Zips up fine and has so far never leaked when the cover is properly in place. So, wherever you got that measurement for the carrier, you just don't have the right measurements.

It can be used as a toster oven I have baked in it before the oven temp go's up to 425. So you can cook anything that would fit in a small casserole dish as long as it do not need to be cooked over 425. no need to preheat. I will say it's not the best though and LG warranty blows on this item

This is the perfect little steamer for fresh veggies. It will hold 2 nice size servings. I like to put fresh broccoli, cauliflower and carrots together. A few minutes in the microwave and you have a perfect compliment to a nice piece of chicken for a healthy dinner.

Funny you should ask, I just cooked an 4.6LBS turkey breast yesterday. The 6-Qt was a good size for this. It came out great but I did spend a short time braising the breast to add a little color and crispness to the skin.

Its not much concept wise...this definitely cooks much better than a convection oven though...it takes a little trial and error to cook things in the flip other than chicken strips and fries but when ya get it right its awesome...one of my favorite purchases recently

This piece is my new favorite in the kitchen. For roasting, broasting, etc., it is awesome. It is big enough for several or use it for just one or two. Roasted chicken can be boring, but with my dutch oven, apparently you can create it a million different ways. I'm still not tired of it after several months!!!!

I have had no trouble with this product and like it very much. I have not actually checked the temperature, per se, but the food gets done (chicken wings nice an crispy on outside and done on inside) in the time stated. I would highly recommend it. It was also recommended by Americas Test Kitchen which I follow pretty closely. Jan

you can cook meet but i will not advise to cook a full chicken. Saussage or small part of a chicken is ok. you cannot add butter or oil so it is cook only by steam

I prefer a deeper glass baking dish for chicken because it spatters, but if you do not mind cleaning the oven, go for it.

It works great for pressure cooking. I use mine all the time. I have the version that has 5 F degree increments. One thing we do is cook whole organic chicken for 10 hrs on high pressure at 205 degrees F (after the max pressure is reached) until the bones are able to be smushed. We just dig in to the whole "mess" and eat everything. My other cooktop has only increments of 30-40 degrees. That just doen't do for cooking many things that need precise temperatures. I can do those on the PIC. Be aware of this when shopping for cooktops. The timer function is GREAT when you want to do something long and slow. It works great for pressure cooking.

Your welcome, I always try to give honest answers as to what my experience was, hopefully it saves someone time, money and the headache of returning a item. Especially with a product that has good reviews and then I buy it because of the reviews only to find they weren't that true. I "fried" everything from fish, chix tenders, stuffed chix breasts, fries to onion rings, terrible. Can only cook very small amounts of food at a time and the bowl is extremely heavy! A Huge diasppointment!

Honestly I love love love this! Frozen fries come out spectacular!! I still have yet to try making my own and figure out how much oil to add. But for an extra crispiness, even a teaspoon or 2 goes a long way. All in all, it's the best thing you could have especially for the price! I have also made fried chicken with bread crumbs or tempura crumbs, and it's amazing I tell you!

I have been able to cook enough for 2 people in the 9 quart. It actually holds quite a bit in the 2 slots. Only draw back is tub depth which limits cooking like a whole chicken or such. If you are planning to cook large items then go with 11 qt. If you don't mind cutting things up then the 9 is OK.

I haven't baked a cake in it yet BUT it has been the most used appliance I have bought in a long while. I have never had better fish and chicken breasts that were moist and looked good with the Bake/Steam or Bake/Broil function. It has taken some trial and error because it cooks so quickly and I agree that recipes are very lacking. Still I really love this unit.
