Broke in my new oven by roasting yams and carrots for lunch. Not bad. Have to figure the oven out a little more, it took longer than in my old oven. For dinner I made a stew using split peas and lentils and added some ham from the freezer. Wasn't bad, got lots of fiber today. Didn't take a picture of the "stew" because it's green and doesn't look very appetizing. Ended up with 4 portions. I'll be sick of it after tomorrow's meal. Don't know if I like it well enough to bother freezing whatever is left. But I tried. Love the new stove and need to learn to at least like cooking a little.

I love, love roasting veggies. It is a convection oven right? Still takes me a pretty long time to bake yams. Pea soup always looks bad! But, so good for you!

Melissa - I used the regular oven, haven't quite figured out the convection oven. Maybe I'll try the convection oven in a couple days - I still have a yam left.

You can speed up baking yams and potatoes by sticking a metal skewer through them; but put an oven liner in first, they will dribble a bit of juice.

Gz9gig- I slice the yams and potatoes, even carrots when I roast them in the oven. I think I needed the temp to be higher and maybe even the oven rack.

Oh!!! If you have them cut up and use convection, they should cook up pretty quickly and taste like dessert! 😁 I got a silicon liner for my pan, which is so nice. Need very little oil on the veggies to roast and no sticking! Clean up is glorious. I did NOT think I needed those newfangled liner sheets when my hubby decided they were too good a deal to pass up one day. Now I use them constantly! BTW, my one college girl who has a million food sensitivities eats a sweet potato microwaved nearly every day. It it is her bread!

I originally thought you wrote that you broke your oven, glad that was not the case 😂

Oven temp settings are notoriously imprecise. Maybe your old one ran hot?

Keyten - nearly 30 grams of fiber! Can only do that with beans in the food diary. The split peas and the lentils. The yam also helped. Johncip - I think maybe I put the old stove on a higher setting. It was old, had a turn knob and I don't see so good. So lots of times I thought I had set 375 or 400 and ended up at 425. This new oven I type in 400 so no mistakes.

Melissa - I'll give the convection oven a try. Never heard of the liners. The oven came with 3 different trays, a glass one like you have in a microwave, a stainless steel one and a black one that is as big as the big round glass tray. It's just so confusing I find it easier to put all the trays away and use my old microwave on the microwave stand and the regular oven. I love baked yams! But have to be able to put butter and brown sugar on it.

Just for the fun of it, look up silicone baking sheets. I have just a regular oven with a convection fan to help speed cooking. I use the silicone liner for cookie sheets when I bake cookies, rolls, and roasting veggies. It think the sheets help stuff brown better, and since it is nonstick, no having to grease pans. 😁 The two sheets I got have lasted years now. They were really inexpensive, are rated for up to 500 degrees, and they have sure been a blessing for this cook who does not like to cook! cook!

I also have a silicone liner sheet in the bottom of my oven, to catch any drips. It can be a real pain to clean baked - on stuff, even with my self cleaning oven with steam.

Don't understand the liner sheets. I looked them up on Amazon. Gz9gjg - found the ones that just go on the bottom of the oven. You just leave it there? And replace as needed? Melissa was talking about liners for the baking sheets. Are we talking about 2 different things here or can I use the same liners for the oven and the baking sheets. Would love something that makes cleaning the baking pans/sheets easier.

Never mind. I found the liners for the baking sheets. But I'm not sure how to use in the convection oven which comes with a round black metal tray that fits on the turntable that the glass microwave tray goes on. The directions say to put food directly on the metal tray when cooking. I wasn't sure if I could also put my pyrex dishes or other baking pans in the convection oven on top of the round black tray. Sometimes there is just too much reading of directions for me when I get new items!

Hi Fritzy, yes you can leave it in the oven indefinitely. I take mine out when I use the oven cleaning cycle, because to clean mine, you pour a small amount of water into the bottom of the oven; it turns to steam and really gets the oven clean. Then I wipe the bottom liner off and put it back in. My oven is Maytag, I think you said yours is KitchenAid? They are both from the same manufacturer and both use the AquaLift cleaning system.

I think the ones Melissa mentioned are sized to fit different pans.
