Can the ovens be used without convection? in other words, can the convectioin feature be left off?

Well the top smaller oven is not convection at all. You can use the bottom oven with or without convection also

yes , there are settings you select on left knob although I have to say the convection features are pretty amazing .

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!

My bride of 44 years tell me that it is straight convection, when used in that mode. However, there is a compu cook mode, it will combine both means of convection and microwave. From my perspective, when using convection, we use a metal dish, and it doesn't spark. That seems to be the sign that it is only using convection when in the convection mode. I sure hope this helps. This is the second of these that we have had, and we both love it. Good luck, and again, I hope this helps you. Harry

Sorry I havent really used that feature yet, but I really like this oven a lot. The rotisserie is great too.

I hope to clarify the situation, more than add to confusion, but I have found the convection feature is particularly useful for pizza. To test out the regular bake versus convection bake on this oven, I took two identical pizzas. The first one I used the regular bake function - it browned the top of the crust. I then took the second pizza and cooked it using the convection bake function - it browned the entire crust, not just the top. But then again, it has a pizza bake function which worked even better yet.

A manual comes with the oven. You can find out what cookware you can use with a convection oven off the net. Try to Goggle it.

No, it does not. I did not want that either. Thought it would be dangerous reaching into it. I love this. It is my second micro/convection oven and will always own one. I rarely use my full size oven anymore as I live alone. I can micro, convection cook or do a blend. Buy it!

I don't know the interior dimensions of this oven, but you might want to have just a bit of room between the sides of the pan and the sides of the oven for air circulation. -- isn't that one of the extra 'bonuses' of 'convection', also?

I have baked cakes and cupcakes in this oven. The only thing I noticed is that when baking with the convection oven on, it takes less time for the baking to be done. So I check sooner than the directions suggest.

I haven't tried it yet on the convection oven but just with the regular oven and it's ok. Maybe you can try it and give a few minutes extra. Happy eating.

Did you ever get a definitive answer? We're considering this oven, but don't want any Teflon like coatings. Thank you.

Select the operation you want (bake, broil, cookies, etc., not toast), then select desired temperature with up/down arrows, then select the amount of time with the up/down arrows and push convection button. This works for me.

Not in this model. you could "toast" and set to a temp, but bake always is convection.

Manual says not to place near or on gas or electric burner, in heated oven (microwave, convection, etc.) or any other heated surface. Hope that helps.

We have a gas oven, and use it on the lowest rack. I think they don't want you to put it on the floor of the oven so that it doesn't block the natural convection currents in the oven. You may get uneven heating if you do that.

Yes, I've done both and was very pleased with the result. In fact, I like this better than my large Samsung convection oven.
