CONVECTION BAKING
Adapting Recipes For Convection Baking
As a general rule, reduce the temperature by 25°E
for convection baking. For more specific instructions,
follow the guidelines in the Convection Cookbook.
Preheating is not necessary with foods having a bake
time of over 15 minutes.
Check foods for doneness at the minimum
suggested cooking time.
Use pan size recommended in the recipe.
Some package instructions for frozen casseroles or
main dishes have been developed using commercial
convection ovens. For best results in this oven,
preheat the oven and use the temperature on the
package.
For more information on adapting recipes, see the
Convection Cookbook.
Multi-Shelf Baking
Because heated air is circulated evenly throughout
the oven, foods can be baked with excellent results
on 2 or 3 shelves at a time. Multi-shelf baking may
increase cook times slightly for some foods but the
overall result is time saved. Cookies, muffins,
biscuits, and other quickbreads give very good results
with nmtti-shelf baking.
When baking on 3 shelves, divide the oven into
thirds by placing the ofl%et shelf in the second (B)
shelf position and the straight shelves in first (A) and
fourth (D) shelf position.
For 2-shelf baking, place the straight shelves in the
A and C positions.
NOTE: When convection baking with only 1 shelf,
follow the shelf positions recommended in the Oven
Shelves section o1' the Regular Baking section.

How to Set Your Oven for Convection Baking
Do not lock the oven door with the latch
during convection baking. The latch is used for
self-cleaning only.
To avoid possible burns, place the shelves in the
correct position before you turn the oven on.
