Does this oven broil?

Technically, yes. However, I don't think it would be very practical for that purpose. It comes with a raised wire grill that sits on top of the turntable, and there is a "Grill" mode. In the Grill mode you can choose to use both the top and bottom heating coil or just the top heating coil. Using Grill mode with just the top heating coil turned on and the raised wire rack in place, you technically have a broiler. However, it takes me 5 or 6 minutes to brown toast with this setting, so how long would it take to grill a steak? Hard to say. Also, you would need to set a plate under the grill to catch grease/juices, and you would have to scrub the interior of the oven after broiling. So, it's up to you. It could be used as a broiler, but I'm sure there are simpler ways to do the same task.

No --but it is very simple to pull out--just pull---I definitely recommend this oven--we have loved using it--

No. It can be used in the oven, but packaging specifically says not to use it under a broiler.

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.

It does not, but it's not an issue. It's great for broiling fish, chicken etc. just need a good pot holder.

I don't believe it has a broil option. It does have a timer but the timer on ours has actually never worked.

No, it does not. Ovens with that feature are hard to find. The last one I had was a $15 oven that is no longer available.

It has no conventional heating elements, but if your recipe has a microwaveable cooking ability. I do not see why not, but as far as browning and such there is no heating element to broil and so on...

It does but I wouldn't buy this model unless you get something to cover certain foods. It works great, easy to clean until the bulb burns out. they don't protect the halogen bulb adequately. I have burned out two bulbs so far and they are not easily replaced. Think it happens when my wife cooks bacon an

Yes, I also have a large one that fits in the broiler oven. I would like to find another larger one.

I don't have a broiler, but I have cranked up the oven temp. Sometimes the pan will bend up a little bit (because it's so much colder than the oven), but it always returns to its normal shape.

I have never used "broil" but grill is fine. I crisp up day old deep fried shrimp. I have never tried to toast bread but some of the other reviewers have suggested you use your toaster. I have had this unit since about June 10th of 2011 and am very pleased with it. I would buy it again.

So far I have only used it for broiling which it does quite well.It beeps when the set temp is reached. The settable timer beeps and the oven turns off.I would recommend it.

I have left it in oven during broiling with no problems. I really like how it keeps the oven clean.

Yes, this pan is oven safe to 500 but not intended to be used in broiler. This is a very nice, heavy weight, substantial pan. I love it so far. Hope this helps!

Sorry, I rarely broil and never noticed whether or not a fan comes on. What I can tell you is that for the money this convection oven is doing a great job. It reduces baking time by about a third. I use it almost every day for baking and toast and have been very pleased with its performance.

Yes. The oven only comes with two racks. You have to purchase the other two separately. Buy 4 of the solid metal ones from AI, they distribute heat more evenly than the grated racks.
