Convection Roast
Good for large tender cuts of meat, uncovered.
Tile convection f_m circulates die heated
ah evenly over and arotmd die food.
Meat and pouluy are browned on all
sides as if they were cool<ed on a
rotisserie. The heated ah seals in juices
quickly for a moist and tender
product
while, at the same dine, creating a rich
golden brown exmrior
¼,qlen you are convecdon raw,sting,
it is important that you use a broiler pan
and gqid designed for broiling for best
convection roasdng results. The pan is
used to catch grease spills, and the grid
is used to prevent grease spatters while
heamd ah circulams under the meat to
increase browning on the underside
of the meat or poultry.
Place the oven rack in the position
that centers the food bet_,veen the top
and bottom of tile oven.
When baking cookies,you will
get the best results if you use a
flat cookie sheet instead of a
pan with low sides.
Cookware for Convection Cooking
Before using yam convecdon oven,
check to see if your cool<ware leaves
room for ah circulation in the oven.
If you are baMng with several pans, leave
space between them. Also, be sure the
pans do not touch each other or tile
walls of tile oven.
Paper and Plastic

containe,_ dmt are recommended for
use in regular baking can a/so be used
for convection
baMng, but should not
be used at mmpemmres higher than
the mmperamre recomInended by the
cool<ware manufimmrer Plasdc cool<ware
that is heat-resistant to temperatures of
400°F (204°C) can Nso be used.
Metal and Glass
Any type of cookware will work in your
convection oven. However; mere/pans
