Baking And Roasting Features - GE Cafe CVM9179 Owner's Manual

Baking and Roasting Features

Baking or roasting uses a heating element to raise
the temperature of the air inside the oven. Any oven
temperature from 225°F to 425°F may be set. A fan
gently circulates this heated air throughout the oven, over
and around the food, producing golden brown exteriors
and rich, moist interiors. This circulation of heated air is
called convection.
Because the heated air is kept constantly moving,
not permitting a layer of cooler air to develop around
the food, some foods cook faster than in regular oven
cooking.
