For best results when broiling, use a broil pan with an insert designed to drain
the fat from the food, help avoid spatter, and reduce smoking . The broiler pan will
catch grease spills, and the insert helps prevent grease splatters . To purchase the
broiling pan go to Fridgidaire .com
Convection cooking uses a fan to circulate hot air around the oven and food . It
browns food more evenly and reduces hot spots in the oven .
Convection saves time when using multiple racks or cooking several food items at
once .
Reduce cooking temperature by 25° F (13-14° C) from the recipe unless the recipe
is written for convection baking .
Preheat the oven for best results .
Convection roast is best for meats and does not require preheating for most
meats and poultry .
Reducing the cooking temperature for convection roast is not recommended .
Carefully follow your recipe's temperature and time recommendations, adjusting
the cooking time if the recipe does not specify convection roasting time .
Since convection roast cooks faster, cook time may be reduced by 25% to 40%
depending on food type . You can reduce cook times by 25% from the recom-
mended time of your recipe, and check the food at this time . If needed, continue
cooking until the desired doneness is obtained .
Use the meat probe included with your appliance . Meat probes are also available
from most grocery and home goods stores .
Arrange oven racks so large cuts of meat and poultry are on the lowest rack of
the oven .
Do not cover foods when dry roasting - covering will prevent the meat from
browning properly .
When cooking meats, use the broiler pan and insert or a roasting rack . The broiler
pan will catch grease spills and the insert helps prevent grease splatters .
