Hi everyone,
I just got a Toastmaster convection oven but I dont have the manual for it.
Does anyone have any recipes for a convection oven or know of a website for
such? I searched google but mostly got sites that were selling the oven or
rating different brands. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

I have been using my convection oven for several years now, and anything
that you would otherwise use a regular electric or gas oven for can
simply be done faster in the convection. The difference being that the
heat, in layman's terms, blows all around inside this oven, rather than
simply rising from the bottom or down from the top. The only cooking
changes I have made to using the convection are to note that 1) most
things take about 1/3 less time; 2) cooking temps usually need to be
lowered by about 15 degrees; 3) using any of the black coated metal
bakeware needs baking/roasting temps lowered by 25 degrees; 4) the outer
area of uncovered meats (especially) dry out quicker. Other than paying
attention to those four things, just use your convection in the same
manner as your "regular" oven.

I've got one of those! They're a piece of junk. May be useful
for deciding whether you have any use for a convection oven
before paying real money to get a good one. (Toastmaster
is about $50 cheaper than the next-cheapest convection oven.)
If the fan in yours doesn't make a vibrating/howling sound yet,
your unit hasn't been used much. I've found that heating up
the oven before going into a fan mode sometimes avoids the
problem.

By the way, the brushed-metal surface is uncleanable, unless
perhaps you get one of those metal brush attachments that
fits on the end of a drill, so you can refinish it. If you like to
keep your kitchen appliances looking good, don't spill
anything (like water) on the brushed metal surface of this
device.
