Page 19: Cooking Hints
300 R ODEL ESTAURANT ANGES OOKING INTS COOKING TIPS (Convection-Type Oven Only) A. FROZEN ENTREE PRODUCTS: Punch holes in lid before heating. Tent lid if product has a tendency to stick, i.e., lasagna or macaroni and cheese. Use manufacturer’s convection oven directions for time and temperature or reduce conventional oven temperature 50 degrees for a 6-1/2 size pan load.
Page 20 OOKING INTS GUIDE TO BAKING TIMES AND TEMPERATURES (Convection-Type Oven Only) As a guide, set oven temperatures 25 to 50 degrees lower than called for in recipes using non-convection ovens, i.e., range or conventional ovens. Time and temperatures will vary depending upon load, mix, size or portion and other factor. Use this chart to develop your own cooking techniques: Product Hamburger buns, 3 oz.
