Can I use microwave turntable glass plate in convection mode?
I bought a Singer SMW25GCQ6 model microwave oven. It has convection and grill features. For baking cakes and for grilling we don't use the glass turntable plate since we thought it could cause the cakes to brown unevenly.
Is it safe to use the glass turntable in convection mode with the baking to hold the baking cake containers? I'm asking this because there is mode which uses microwave + convection for roasting chicken. So that means the glass turntable should be there and it will work for convection mode as well right?
Then how about grill mode?
Best Answer
Assuming you do not have access to the instruction manual, and/or the manual does not specify whether it is safe to use the glass in convection/grill mode, I would assume not.
Are there any labels and/or writing embossed on the glass?
As I described in this similar question, "regular" soda-lime glass is not heat safe. Given that the glass was obviously designed for a microwave, it is probably tempered glass, so it can withstand some amount of heat. Therefore, I would treat it like a Pyrex baking dish and not heat it to over 500°F. Your microwave's convection mode likely does not get that hot, so you are probably fine with that, but no guarantees. I would not use the tray in grill mode because even Pyrex is not broiler-safe.

Microwave uses radio waves extremely short wave radio waves. Heat is hot it will break glass. The answer was embossed on the glass "for microwave use only". Just because it came with the microwave doesn't mean you can use it in the microwave.

The glass plate in my Tesco MC2514 convection microwave oven broke the first time I tried using combination (microwave plus convection) cooking. Tesco were very robust when I tried to get a replacement under warranty. They did eventually send a replacement plate, but of the same material. I am not confident enough to use the combination feature again with the new plate as I think it may well break again.

Answer 8
I always have used it with microwave and convection cooking but recently pre-heated the convection to 220C (celcius) and had it going for 20 minutes.... smashed/cracked into several pieces. We’re yet to replace it but now I’d only use it to maybe 180C or 190C since that never seemed to be a problem.
Answer 9
