that are recommended for use in regular
ovens can be used in convection ovens.
Plasticcookware that is heat-resistant to
temperatures of 400°F can also be used,
when oven is below 400°E

convection oven. However, metal pans heat
the fastest and are recommended for
convection baking.

results if you use a flat cookie sheet instead
