Convection Baking is similar to Baking. In this case, heat
comes fiom the lower element. The main difference in convection
baking is that the heat is drculated throughout the oven by the
convection fan:

cookies, pies, cupcakes, pastries, breads, snack foods and
appetizers among other items.
The benefits of Convection Baking include:
, Slight decrease in cooking time
" Three rack cooking (more even browning)
" Higher Volume (yeast items rise higher)
