The extender ring allows foir a larger chicken or small turkey to be cooked in the oven.

Works to increase cooking height so you can cook a small turkey or large roasting chicken. Will fit your oven perfectly. I have the same oven and love it.

It will allow you to cook a larger roast or bird. Gives you about 3" more height

The extender ring raises the height of the heating element so that you can cook larger items.

I'm sure if you measure your inner oven dimensions that should tell you. Just make sure if you have a protruding convection oven fan you allow for that. if your inner dimensions are not at least 17 1/4" X 25 1/4" you have problems. The convection fan came back to haunt me when we lost over an inch from it protruding out from the center of the back of our new wide and deep oven. SURPRISE!. Our 22 1/2" by 19" oven turned out to be 22 1/2" by 18" thanks to the convection fan housing protruding out an inch..

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.

I've had mine since December. LOVE IT! I love the fast bake feature and the convection oven works wonderfully! Especially nice when I don't want to heat up the entire kitchen! Follow the directions for the install, and enjoy it!

i M arlene, I hope your question pertains to the DeLonghi oven? I printed out the insructns from the almost unreadable book, as follows. (1) Program/ toast (2) Function Selector Knob / Bake (3))Thermostat Knob at Toast/Broil .Use wire rack when toasting, place rack in the #2 slot position. Good luck with your cooking Marlene, let me kno how it works out, Mary W

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!

I am not sure, sorry. There is a newer one out now named the NuWave Elite, but it has stainless bottom pan and the extender ring is stainless also. I have had no problems with the plastic dome or extender. The black bottom is fine also. One thing to remember if anything should happen to it within a year to the power head the NuWave site will replace it no matter where you purchase it. Keep the receipt as they do require that. I have not had to do it, but nice to know.

I use a 17 3/4 x 12 7/8 sheet cake pan. This slides along the sides the same as the racks. This was one of the things I was most concerned about when I considered this purchase. I was also concerned about some negative reviews. PLEASE DO NOT HESITATE TO PURCHASE THIS OVEN. I have had this for several weeks now and I use it almost every day. When I first started it up the fan did not work on the convection part, that is simply due to it being new. After a couple of tries, the newness wore off and it works just fine now. Also, if your 9x13 pan doesn't have handles it will fit just fine.I would buy this again in a heart beat. I use a 17 3/4 x 12 7/8 sheet cake pan. This slides along the sides the same as the racks.

we have an induction/convection oven and it works great. LOVE this thing. Don't know how we lived without it!

I commiserate with you about your convection oven. I haven't been happy with mine since day one. I'm not having the same problem you're having but I don't like the way it functions.

My Convection oven is the Savoureux Pro Line, The Deni convection oven looks the same. If the glass bowl is 12 1/2" dia (inside) with a lip at the top for the ring to sit in, it should fit. Have fun like I do.

Cwun, sorry i made a mistake. My earlier reply was for a pressure cooker i bought. This oven always worked fine. No problems. Whenever i want to cook healthy and fast i use it. Remember this oven uses hot air generated from a special lamp to cook. For the time of ownership see the date of my review and add 1 month more. I highly recommend. Good luck.

Mine is not a tight fit. It sounds like a flaw in the construction of the oven. I would get hold of Hamilton Beach customer service to report the problem and see what they want to do about it.

You use the ring in place of the iron grating that usually holds the pots and pans. Helps distribute the heat more evenly.

Yes, it works great for me. Did you leave the ring on for the full baking cycle? If you take it off early, you do run the risk of over browning.

For "easiness" it all depends if this unit comes with the "browning pan/drip pan" and additional accessories that go along with it. I have all the "bells and whistles" including the tongs, extender ring, etc. And there's five things I would like to mention: The "tongs" I rarely use. I suppose I'm afraid that I'm gonna loose my grip and everything will be flying and it's just easier for me to use an oven mitt. Secondly, get a small pizza oven brick if you're a pizza lover! Thirdly, Check-out Fagors web site for "recipes". (http://www.fagoramerica.com/appliances/small_appliances/specialty_cooking/halogen_tabletop_oven) I'm familiar with conventional/halogen ovens and food cooks really fast. In regards to accessories, I'm sure if you contact Fagor direct, they would be able to point you in the right direction for getting their accessories or, at least the round drip/fry pan. Believe me, I use it every time I cook with my fagor. :) Four, you want to keep your oven clean which is easy to do cuz it's self cleaning. As for grease splattering near the "light" area well ... wipe it down with a damp cloth after every use. However, I don't use "oil" when I cook my fried chicken strips. However, I have used it to "heat up" fried chicken (that I didn't cook myself) but, always used the drip/fry pan. Delicious! :) Fifth, if you really want to maximize your oven - invest in a halogen cook book cuz you'll even get more tips! :) Hope this helps :)

Yes it does, although when using the upper rack the results are disappointing. I am on my second oven since purchasing the initial oven in February. There is a significant problem with even temperature, especially when using the convection mode. I now do all of my food on the lower rack and on regular bake. Haven't used this oven for either toasting or broiling, it's basically used as my second oven. Can't hold a candle to my old DeLonghi!
