Convection Roast
Good for large tender cuts of meat,
uncovered.
The convection fan circulates the heated air
evenly over and around the food. Meat and
poultry are browned on all sides as if they were
cooked on a rotisserie.The heated air seals in
juices quickly for a moist and tender product
while, at the same time, creating a rich golden
brown exterior.
When you are convection roasting, it is
important that you use a broiler pan and
grid designed for broiling for best convection
roasting results. The pun is used to catch
grease spills,and the grid is used to prevent
grease sputters while heated air circulates
under the meat to increase browning on the
underside of the meat or poultry.
Placethe oven rack in the position that
centers the food between the top and
bottom of the oven.
When baking cookies, you will
get the best results ifyou use
a flat cookie sheet instead of a
pan with low sides.
Cookware for Convection Cooking
Before using your convection oven, check
to see if your cookware leaves room for air
circulation in the oven.
If you are baking with several pans, leave
space between them. Also, be sure the pans do
not touch each other or the walls of the oven.
Paper and Plastic
Heat-resistant paper and plastic containers
that are recommended for use in regular
baking can also be used for convection baking,
but should not be used at temperatures higher
than the temperature recommended by the
cookware manufacturer. Plasticcookware
that is heat-resistant to temperatures of 400°F
(204°C)can also be used.
Metal and Glass
Any type of cookware will work in your
convection oven. However, metal pans
heat the fastest and are recommended for
convection baking.
Darkened or matte-finished pans will bake
faster than shiny pans.
Glassor ceramic pans cook more slowly.
For recipes like oven-baked chicken, use a pan
with low sides.Hot air cannot circulate well
around food in a pan with high sides.
