in the description it tells me it is a convection oven but when i zoom in on the picture i don't see convection on the dial knobs like model 313331

I don't think it is convection, though I stopped using it because it toasts so slowly. I bought a toaster instead.

It is not a convection oven or at least mine is not but it is a very good toaster oven

This does not have the convection oven feature. I, too, was a little confused about this, but decided to order it anyway. I am glad we did because, hands down, this is the best toaster oven we have ever owned (I can't believe I am excited about this- it really is true, you do eventually turn into your parents). Very spacious, cooks and toasts evenly, and the crumb tray covers the entire bottom so it is very easy to clean. We have had it now for about 6 months. I would buy it again in a second.

Mine is not convection. I did think it was going to have that feature, but I honestly that wasn't a major factor, and I didn't pay much attention to that when I was ordering. It's so spacious and works so easily and accurately, that I decided it didn't matter. But if that is important to you, yes, check more closely than I did before ordering. Maybe there was an option to click before ordering, or the wrong model is depicted.

No sure but I bought it as a Convection Ready pan to use on my NuWave - it is a thick pan and looks nice too - love it!

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.

Don't know, but I returned this oven because it was under powered. Unless you have a dedicated electrical line for it, it doesn't heat up sufficiently. It is intended for a commercial not residential application, and a dedicated circuit is required.

I bought this item 2 years ago because it was being discontinued. I already had a smaller version of the dutch oven and ordered this model to replace it. I believe it was being discontinued to be replaced by the 1000 series. This is a quote from Tramontina: "New manufacturing techniques combined with improved materials and design have revitalized old world cooking traditions to offer superior product performance and versatility for an exceptional cooking experience." They may have made changes to the material used or the enamel bonding process. I'm not sure exactly. The design of the 1000 series on their website looks like the sides may be less sloping than my model. I suppose you could email Tramontina and ask what the changes are. I like my model and use it often. It has held up well. I do hand wash it as directed.

All I know is that it cooks faster and I like the fact it will not destroy nutrients as a microwave can. I use it when it very hot in the summer and I can put this on my deck and not heat the kitchen with the range. If it cooks faster the electricity is on a shorter period of time, but then one has to compare the energy output versus to what one is comparing it, if you want to know if you are saving electricity. So in my humble opinion check the energy output of what you would use , calculate the time you have to use it then compare the same data to that of the convection oven. Hope this helps.

Both ovens are gas. Only the bottom one has convection. The top one is much smaller and only bake and broil. Bottom one is much larger with all the features

The difference is the skin is a lot crispier compare to regular oven roasting. Your regular convection oven doesn't give off direct heat like the rotisserie.

the convection is a separate setting...you can bake or convection bake or broil

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!

No it does not. For a sleek look there is one that mounts over the stove top, it is a Kenmore Elite Convection oven, about $500. I will be getting one if mine decides to go out!! I cook alot of frozen pizza and other things in it and does not heat up the kitchen like a oven.

Secura halogen turbo convection countertop oven mini. I got it fom Amazon October of 2013.

dear Jan, as I see it, there is NO difference what so ever. This oven is wonderful! one tip, whether baking or using convection in oven, this puppy is a bit quick! My banana bread was too brown on top and still gooey in middle.. frozen pizza works amazing! cooks in3/4 the time... hope this helps....thanks, Tim

I dont know. Maybe it works on the principal as of the convection oven. Sorry not a very good answer

Hi R.L., This unit is a very good microwave oven, but does not have the convection feature [we have a 2nd microwave, from Dacor, that has this feature. The convection feature would be labeled on the operation panel if it was built in to this unit; I did extensive research on this Panasonic before my purchase to verify that it was not a convection oven]. As far as using anything with aluminum, the owners manual states that you may only use small strips of foil to mold around thin parts of meat or poultry to prevent overcooking, with a chance for arcing if the foil is too close to the oven wall. Using this info, I would have to say no to your question about using a 9x13 disposable pan. Hope this helps.

It has to do with the heat distribution. The convection has a fan to circulate the heat for more even cooking. It's especially good for baked goods.
