Questions on Convection Oven use.

[2008RN]

Over 5 years of owning this Oli and we have never used the Convection Oven function of the microwave.  Planing on going to an egg rally and wanting to try one of my dishes that requires an oven. So I have a couple of questions.  I was worried about high temps on the stuff inside the microwave. 

I was planning on using the grill rack with the little rubber ends on it to hold the food in the middle to get even dispersal of heat around food.  

Do I have to use the grill rack?   (The only thing I have used the grill rack is to letting dishes cool down in our house, Never even stored it in the Oli.)

Are the following safe at high oven temps?     glass tray, turntable ring, turntable shaft, and little rubber feet on the grill rack?

The manual talks about preheating the oven and then just putting the food in.  If you leave the glass tray in convection mode and place cool cooking dishes on the hot glass tray could it break the glass tray?

Sorry about obsessing about this I just want to be safe and successful.   Thanks for your input.

We use our convection mode all the time.

All parts are temp safe! 

The wire rack is used to hold items up off the glass turntable so hot air flows around the item being cooked.
 

If you were put the item in the glass tray the bottom won’t be exposed to the oven heat…so Use the rack every time in convection cooking.  (That would be like putting a pan on the bottom of a stove, not on the rack). 

 

  The rubber feet are intended for high heat in the oven and are left on the rack.  

We bake things all the time in convection mode and they work well.  

For grilling we turn the rack so the tray is in the high position so what we broil is up high by the burner.
