Savory Vegetable Roll with Sea Vegetables
This is another delicious pastry that is easy to assemble and it has the added benefit of being low in calories, since it also uses oil rather than butter or shortening. Sautéed cabbage develops a slightly sweet flavor that tastes wonderful encased in pastry. You can omit the sea vegetables if the flavor is not appealing to you however they are rich in minerals and extremely health supportive.
½ cup safflower oil 2 cups unbleached all purpose flour 1 cup masa harina or yellow cornmeal 1 cup water ½ teaspoon salt 1 small head finely shredded green cabbage 3 medium shredded carrots 2 finely sliced medium onions 1 small handful Arame (available from health food stores) Tamari or soy sauce and sesame chili oil
Begin by preparing the pastry, as it needs to chill for at least an hour. Bring the water to a boil and set aside. Measure the flour cornmeal and salt into a large bowl and rub the oil into the flour till the mixture resembles coarse meal. Add the hot water and stir until the dough forms a ball. Knead lightly for ten turns. Divide the dough in half and wrap each half in plastic wrap. Chill for an hour or overnight. Cover the Arame with water and soak for 15 minutes to soften. Sauté the onions in a large skillet over medium heat for 5-6 minutes to soften. Drain the Arame, combine with the onions and cook covered for 15 minutes over low heat. Add the remaining vegetables and cook for 8-10 minutes. Season the mixture to taste with the Tamari and the sesame chili oil or your favorite prepared sauce and set aside to cool. Preheat the oven to Convection Bake 400 degrees. Roll out one of the pastry halves to a long rectangle the length of your cookie sheet or baking tray. Drain the vegetables (the juice is delicious to drink or add to a soup) and place half of the vegetables along the lower third of the pastry, leaving a 2-inch border. Fold the short edge over the vegetables and fold the wide edge over to cover the vegetables completely. Turn the roll over so the seam rests underneath and crimp the ends of the roll to seal, place on the baking sheet and make some vent marks along the top. Repeat with the remaining pastry and vegetables. Bake at 375 degrees Convection Bake for 35 minutes or until the pastry is golden.

Baked Stuffed Pasta Shells
Dishes like this one do involve a little preparation however the delicious results are always worthwhile. Using a prepared sauce is one way of cutting down on the preparation time but you can always make your own special sauce instead.
2 packages manicotti or large shell pasta 1 package ground turkey 1 12oz container alfredo sauce 1 28oz can tomato sauce 1 large chopped onion 2-3 cloves chopped garlic 1 package washed baby spinach olive oil ½ teaspoon dried oregano
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Convection Bake. Cook the pasta in a large pot of swiftly boiling water as directed, drain and cool. Sauté the onion and garlic in a little olive oil together with the oregano for 7-8 minutes until the onion is translucent, add the turkey and brown over medium high heat, stir in the spinach and season to taste. Mix the tomato sauce together with the alfredo sauce and pour half of the sauce into the turkey mixture, stir well. Stuff the pasta and place in a large glass-baking dish. Pour the remaining sauce over the stuffed pasta and sprinkle with a little freshly grated parmesan cheese. Bake at 350 degrees Convection Bake for 30 minutes.

There is nothing more sublime that steamed chicken and the fact that it is so easy to prepare makes it even more wonderful.
Steamed Chicken with Noodle Salad
1 4lb chicken 2" slice fresh peeled ginger 1 bunch scallions ½ left whole, ½ chopped finely 1 cup water 4 tablespoons hoisin sauce ½ lb linguine or 1 packet rice noodles ½ head green cabbage finely sliced 4 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds 1 bottle prepared Asian dressing such as Soy Vey
Preheat the oven to 240 degrees 100% moisture. Remove the giblets and any excess fat from the chicken wash and wipe dry. Place the chicken in the solid steaming tray, and stuff the cavity with the ginger and ½ of the bunch of scallions. Pour the water around the chicken and spread the hoisin sauce evenly over the chicken. Steam for 30-40 minutes, the juices should run clear and the chicken should be very tender. Set aside to cool before shredding, the chicken stock can be used for soup or added to a sauce. Boil a large pot of water and cook the noodles as directed, drain and cool. Gently toast the sesame seeds over a low flame taking care not to burn. Chop the remaining scallions and combine with the cooked noodles and cabbage and toss with a ¼ cup of the dressing. When the chicken is cool enough, remove the skin and shred the chicken by hand and combine with the noodles and vegetables. Toss with the toasted sesame seeds. Serves 4-6 people

Stuffed turkey breasts are readily available in many markets these days in which case all you will need to do is preheat the oven and bake, however you can also create the stuffing of your choice. You could also bake a tray of roast vegetables at the same time for another simple fabulous meal.
Roast Stuffed Turkey Breast
1 boneless whole turkey breast 1 cups small croutons 2 pippin apples, peeled, cored and diced 1 medium onion coarsely chopped zest and juice of one lemon 1lb sliced mushrooms ½ teaspoon dried thyme salt and pepper to taste ½ cup chopped parsley safflower oil
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees 100% moisture. In a large skillet over medium heat sauté the onion and thyme in the heated oil, add the mushrooms and cook for 5-6 minutes until softened. Combine with the apples, croutons, lemon zest and juice and the chopped parsley and season to taste. Lay the turkey breast flat skin side down and pound the meat with a meat mallet (or rolling pin) to flatten. Spread the stuffing evenly over the meat and roll the sides into the center. Tie the roll firmly with string and place in an oiled non-perforated baking tray. Place the tray in the oven and insert the meat probe into the thickest part of the meat, make sure the tip stays in the meat so you will get an accurate temperature reading. Program the meat probe to 160 degrees and lower the temperature to 350 degrees. Let the meat rest for 10-15 minutes prior to slicing. Serves 8-10 people

This is a good dough to practice proofing and baking in the steam oven since it requires very little rising time, it is not too sweet and does make a great snack.
Fruit and Nut Snack Bread
3 - 3 ½ cups unbleached all purpose flour ¼ cup sugar 1 package rapid rise yeast 1 teaspoon salt ½ cup whole milk ½ cup water ½ stick unsalted butter ½ cup chopped toasted pecans 1 cup chopped apricots and dried cranberries
In a large bowl combine 1 ½ cups flour, sugar, undissolved yeast and salt. Heat the milk water and butter but do not bring to a boil, the butter does not need to melt. Stir into the dry ingredients. Stir in the fruit and nuts and enough remaining flour to make a soft dough. Knead on a lightly floured surface until smooth and elastic about 4-6 minutes. Cover and rest for 10 minutes. Preheat the steam oven to 95 degrees 60% moisture. Spray the perforated baking pan with a little oil and press the dough into a large circle in the pan. Place the dough into the oven and let rise till doubled in size about 15-20 minutes. Increase temperature to 370 degrees, lower the moisture to 30% and bake for 15-20 minutes until golden and crusty on the bottom.

1. Sift all dry ingredients together. 2. Cream the butter and the sugar together until light in color. Beat the eggs one at a time. Alternate pumpkin and the sour cream additions with the dry. The mixture may appear split when adding the pumpkin, but it should disappear as you add the dry ingredients. 3. Spoon the pumpkin mixture into pastry rings that have been lined with parchment, or large muffin tins sprayed with vegetable oil and lightly dusted with flour. Depending on size, bake 20 minutes at 325°F or 300°F in a convection oven.
For the pecan praline topping: 1. Bring the ingredients to a boil and spread over the cooked cakes while still in the rings. Return the cakes to the oven and heat gently until the mixture begins to melt. Remove the ring just prior to plating. Serves 8. Add an Apple Cider Glaze: Reduce 3 cups of apple cider by 2/3 until the remaining liquid resembles a syrup. The reduction can also be flavored with cinnamon sticks, cloves or allspice and then strained.

You didn't say what brand or model you had. When I did a search, I found hardly anything.
I would suggest to search on the internet under the manufacturer. There will probably be a customer service or parts section where you could request instructions for your particular model.
