Convection Bake - Bosch 700 Series Use And Care Manual

Convection Bake

Convection baking is similar to baking. In this case,
heat comes from a third element behind the backwall.
The main difference in convection baking is that the
heat is circulated throughout the oven by the convec-
tion fan:

The convection bake mode is well-suited for baking
large quantities of food on multiple racks. It can be
used to prepare cookies, pastries, breads, snack foods
and appetizers among other items. DO NOT use con-
vection bake for meats. Use convection roast instead.
The benefi ts of convection baking include:
•
Slight decrease in cooking time
•
Three rack cooking
•
Higher volume (yeast items rise higher)
•
More items cooked at once
For Best Results:
•
Reduce recipe temperature by 25° F. Refer to the
convection baking chart for examples.
•
Place food in low-sided, uncovered pans such as
cookie sheets without sides.
•
Center baking pans side to side on the oven rack.
• Do not use convection bake for custards, quiches,
pumpkin pie, or cheesecakes. These items do not
benefi t from the convection-heating process. Use
standard bake instead.
When convection baking on two racks, use
positions one and three. When using three racks, use
positions two, three and four.
