Here is the procedure. 1) Select "preheat " then select the temperature you want to cook or bake at. Then press start. 2) When the desired temp. is reached the oven will beep. Place what you want to cook, press convection, again select the desired temp. Then enter desired cook time an press start. Hope this will get you hot biscuits and gravy. Herman Thanks Herman, I hope so too. If this works, I'll be willing to share. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Or I guess I'm the vague one. Saw the video too. Watched quite few of them actually and it was looking like we could use the convection side only but still wanted to be sure. Thanks Bill.

manholt Report post Posted October 13, 2017 WARNING: Do not use Microwave if you have a "Pacemaker"! We use the Convection only part in either one of our houses and in both coaches....Life is hard, when you have a significant other with a DP & 2 homes. I also have 2 homes! That's 10 M & C's!

kaypsmith Report post Posted October 13, 2017 I have a convection oven in the S&B's, no need for a turn table in it as the fan in the oven takes care of evenly distributing air around the biscuits. Have tried teaching DW to make them for 53 years, I can only eat them if I "knead" the dough myself. LOL I'm always needing the dough due to a nasty MH habit.

manholt Report post Posted October 13, 2017 Is that with or without Crisco or real Lard? Don't tell me you expect 3 wishes if you knead the dough enough! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BillAdams Report post Posted October 13, 2017 That's one of my most favorite things that the wife makes from scratch and bakes in our Convection oven. If you like them in a home oven you will love them in a convection oven. Be careful, the timing is different (shorter/faster) with convection heat. From my experience, however, the temp settings are not very accurate and be off by 25-50 degrees from what is set. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jleamont Report post Posted October 14, 2017 Herman, biscuits in a tube/box, shaking my head . I make them from scratch, Carl I use shortening and real butter, roll them up and put in the refrigerator in the coach for trips....well haven't made any since last Christmas Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kaypsmith Report post Posted October 14, 2017 Cinnamon biscuits are pretty good also, just roll the biscuit dough into a long string between your hands, sprinkle the cinnamon/sugar onto parchment paper, I have to use the granulated Splenda because of diabetes, form circles (pin wheels) from the long strings, bake till golden brown, top with cream cheese icing. Carl Crisco, then drizzle with REAL butter when 3/4 done. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jleamont Report post Posted October 14, 2017 Now you have sparked my interest. I might have to buy some and give it a try. We only use butter EVO and coconut oil for cooking, crisco for baking. No fake butter in this house. If I can't interpret the indgredients it doesn't come home, I read every label. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
manholt Report post Posted October 14, 2017 Do not use COCONUT OIL...after living in Cayman Island, I found out...there is no such thing! You get the water and the meat, no oil...like margarine, it's man made! All they need is a teaspoon of the water, or some hydrated meat and they can call it Coconut Oil...legally!

I've went online to get one but it doesn't answer my question. We have never used it because we don't use microwaves for anything. I was recently told that you can use the convection part without the microwaves. So for the past year i loved this, we have gone without an oven (cookies, cakes and pies). So, does anybody know if I (Sweetie Pie) can we use the convection part without getting any microwaves on my food? It's a Whirlpool and after trying to get info from them for the past hour, I will never buy a Whirlpool product. Thanks Guys. Simply go with above as suggested by our kind members.
