confection baking?

[Samiterry]

Brand new 2013 Big Sky and it has a confection oven. Please share any hints or cautions for me.

Thanks,

I assume you are referring to the microwave/convection that I have seen in the various Montana's we looked at? If so, I have oner of those at home (unfortunately they don't put them in the High Country) It pretty much functions like a regular oven. You may have to play with temperature/timing -- the directions on mine said to set it 25 degrees lower than the recipe specifies -- that didn't work -- I generally set it at whatever the recipe calls for and it has worked great. Do be careful -- most of us are used to the microwave being cool -- but because it is functioning as a "regular" oven the racks get HOT!!!

We are still trying new things with it, but our experience has been the same as Kathie. We follow the recipes and use the temperatures and for the most part the times specified.

Awesome tips! So do you use metal or only glass or overware (pyrex) type of pans when baking? I guess my "old school" never use metal in a mircowave thinking is asking this question. Glad you both posted about the temperature settings and that the racks get hot. Kathie, yes it is the microwave/confetion combo. Sorry I ommitted that in the first post. Thank you ladies for your tips!
