Hi Shreya,
1. Any utencil that’s marked as ‘Oven Safe’ can be used in Micro+Convection mode. Micro+Convection is normally used for baking, which requires high temperature for longer time. Hence, it is advisable to NOT use plastic or Steel, unless they are specifically marked as ‘Oven Safe’.
2. You can use Borosil Glassware (make sure it is ‘Oven Safe’), Aluminium baking pan or Steel Pan are NOT recommended.

I have the same microwave oven from Morphy Richards 25CG and i face the same issue. THANK YOU so much for explaining this in details. But still i do have few queries Anil.
1. What type of utensils to be used in Micro+Convention mode?
2. Can i use Borosil Glassware, Aluminium baking pan or Steel Pan for baking in Micro-Convention Combi mode?
I am very much confused about this cause Microwave oven mode always specifies us to use only glassware and microwave oven safe plastic wares for heating, and should not use steel or aluminium trays or containers.
So which types should i use in Micro-Conv combi mode specially?

Here is the utensil guidance:

You are welcome.

thanks a lot Anil! im sorted now! 🙂
completely agree with plastic being pretty unsafe!
oh and this forum’s been really informative otherwise too!!

1. Yes
2. If the utensil is marked ONLY ‘Microwave Safe’, it is mostly not safe to be used in Oven.
If it is marked both “Microwave and Oven safe’, then it is good for Baking and using in ‘Microwave convection’ mode.

Please note that baking process generally happens at high heat of aroung 400 F (180 C) for a longer time than any other microwaving (just heating) process.
So, it is important that the utensil you use can bear that kind of heat for a longer time.

Plastic based Microwave safe utensils will most probably MELT while baking, if they are NOT marked OVEN safe too.

Also, I strongly recommend NOT to use plastic AT ALL. It is known to cause cancer if you use Plastic for heating, let alone baking.

ok great! so just to clarify.. as far as what i have gathered here is that:
1. oven-safe bakeware (aluminium or steel) can be used in the “convection” mode in a microwave convection oven and
2. microwave safe utensils (non metal) should be used when using any microwave combination mode!
right?

Hi Sohinii,
I have written ‘bake-ware made with Aluminium or steel’ is better than Glass based utensils.
The standard aluminium bowl or a katori is not good enough to bake. Bake wares are coated with special material that helps them sustain high heat.

Hence, you should always use the utensil that has been specifically marked as ‘Oven safe’ for baking.

hello! read this through.. and still confused over the utensils.. the borosil utensil experience says its better to use aluminium or steel (oven safe) for baking in convection mode.. but anil just replied “We do not recommend using aluminum utensil in convection mode for baking.
It is always better to use utensil that are specifically marked as ‘microwave safe’ or ‘ovem safe’.” to Anand who has used aluminium cake pan in his convection microwave oven!!? no clarity at all! sorry!
