Where to buy "Microwave/Convection" Cake Pan??

Where can I find 8x8, 9x9. sq or round cake pan that will bake on Hi or Low Micro Mix in a Microwave/Convection oven?

Not Internet, I am traveling in a Motorhome.

Thanks

You can get pyrex anywhere.

Successfully baking with one in a microwave is left as an adventure for you to explore.

I use regular metal cake pans in my Sharp micro/convection oven on the "mix" settings. The instruction booklet has a pretty comprehensive discussion (and chart) about the types of cookware that you can use in each mode. Oven and microwave safe earthenware, ceramic, pyroceram (Corningware), and glass are safe in all modes. Any metal cookware in addition to the previous types is acceptable in the convection only mode. You can use disposable aluminum cookware in any mode as long as it is at least 2/3 full and about an inch away from the oven walls. You should observe it at first to see if arcing occurs. For the mix modes you can use about any kind of cookware. If using metal, make sure to observer the 2/3 full rule, don't let it get too close to the interior walls, and adjust the position if arcing occurs. I use a cheap aluminum 11 x 13 pan for most of my roasting on the "hi mix" setting. I use a metal pizza pan for baking things like frozen French fries with the "hi mix" setting, overriding the default temperature to 450F. I use metal loaf pans to bake quick breads on the "lo mix" setting. Frozen pies in metal pans do well on the "hi mix" setting.

Therefore, you should be able to find 8 or 9 inch square pans at about any discount or department store. If you are really hesitant to use the metal, you can also use Corningware or any of the glass bakeware. Sur La Table carries a line of disposable, oven-safe paper bakeware should you be in an location where they have a store. There is also a line of silicone bakeware available at most larger discount and department stores that would work. Before putting yourself through too much trouble, I would recommend that you just try using standard metal pans. In the Sharp oven, the "lo mix" bake setting has the microwave power at only 10% with 30% during the "hi mix" setting. The microwave cycles are so short that there really isn't much opportunity for arcing to occur. I love my micro/convection oven!

Baking in the micro/convection oven is pretty uneventful. The in the "mix" settings, you get either 10% (bake) or 30% (roast) microwave energy in addition to heat. The microwave assist just allows you to skip the pre-heat cycle and speeds things up by about 25%. It's the best of both worlds. You get good browning and even baking while cutting the over-all time significantly. You can also generally lower the temperature by 25F. The "mix" modes are good for items that need to bake or roast for at least 20 minutes. For things requiring shorter times, it is better to use the convection only mode. Even then, it only takes 5 minutes to pre-heat the oven to 350F.

Meijer/Target/Kohl's/CorningWare outlet centers. Pyrex (glass bakeware) or the new silicon bakeware will work just fine in a microwave.

for an 8.5*8.5*1.5 inchcake pan. $16.95 They have the round cake pans too, but whether they are in stock right now is a different question.
