Convection

Cooking with Convection
There are many advantages to cooking with convection. In
the convection system, a fan in the back of the oven moves
heated air evenly around the oven. The moving air provides
even heat so foods can be placed on any rack level with
consistent results. Multiple racks of foods can be cooked or
large quantities of foods can be cooked at the same time.
Foods will cook thoroughly without having to rotate pans.

Low, shallow bakeware should be used with convection
cooking. This allows the heated air to circulate around the
3
food. Pans with high sides or pans that are covered are not
2
suitable for convection cooking because high sides or lids
prohibit the warm air from circulating around the food.

Your favorite pans and cookware can be used for
3
convection cooking provided they have low sides to allow
the heated air to circulate around the food. Any food
3
cooked uncovered will brown evenly and form a nice crust.

Foods in covered dishes (casseroles, pot roast) or delicate
custards do not benefit from convection cooking.
