Can you cook with metal trays?

Sorry for delay - been on vacation. Yes, you can cook with metal trays - I use a small metal grill pan (like the large ones, but about 6 by 9) with its own grill wire for grilling my bacon. I put it on top of the revolving tray, which should not be removed. Only use metal trays in grill and convection modes. The. "Roast " mode also uses microwaves, so do not use metal when using it. Hope that helps.

Yes you can. You can cook with metal trays (and you must cook with metal trays) in the convection function. You choose whether you use this machine as a microwave (no metal trays) or convection oven just like your regular oven at home (using metal trays). I made bread, biscuits, cakes, and brownies in metal trays using the convection function then turn around and defrost my steak and cook my broccoli using microwave in a glass tray or on a paper plate. You get to choose. I love this machine.

No metal. It will scratch the surface. These pans are good but you need to coat them often or the food will stick.

I dont know, I dont think the metal could tolerate that much direct heat. I use it as a dishpan. Good Luck.

I don't see why not, though they may get quite warm. Also, to avoid a mess and possibly leave brown or greasy marks on the tray, I would suggest using baking parchment under the hors d'oeuvres.

I do not use metal on mine. I love the pots and pans but do think metal would scratch them.

Not according to the directions, however, I don't see why you can't. But the fact is, unless one of your eggs breaks, all you really need to do is give the two plastic pieces a thorough rinse in hot water.After I cook eggs, while the tray is still very hot, I take a wad of wet paper towels and clean the plate with it (being careful, because it's very hot). Every 10 uses or so, I put vinegar and water in the plate as directed, and let it boil for 10 minutes. Everything is always sparkly clean. I LOVE this thing! We use it all the time.

I can't see why not. The tray is metal that holds the charcoal and it is adjustable in hight. It is rather long so indirect heating is possible.

I just use the plastics that I already have. I love the pan and don't want chance it. If the plastics are in the dishwasher, I might carefully flip a grilled sandwich with a metal spatula, but wouldn't scrape a metal spoon in it

you can use as many trays as you want.i imagine you could use more than what the set contains.just keep in mind the size and the cooking time w/different food items.i am not sure if there would be a cross contamination of flavors if a strong tasting item is cooked in tray over/on top of,say a rice.

I wouldn't, they sent a set of utensils that were plastic and if I recall ( I don't want to go dig out the instruction book) they say NOT to use metal. Plus the ones they sent with it are really good and sturdy and clean up nice. Enjoy your set ... I do.

While I have not tested mine with metal utensils, I would not recommend metal. Use a good plastic spatula. I use mine for pancakes and it is great. Heats very evenly.

I use plastic, my understanding is no metal. in the demonstration on line, a plastic knife is being used to mix the ingredients.

You can but you will have to remove some trays or slightly modify them to fit.

I have not tried it but I see no reason why not. Not of course with the wooden tray. Otherwise the cast iron platter should stand the heat.

I would say you could, the aluminum pan is just to hold water to heat the food above. You would need to make sure your pan dimensions fit the divided tray.

When you say trays, are you referring to the plates? If so, I've used the omelet plates from my G5 in my Evolve

the metal platter can be heated directly on the grill ... as stated in product description
