CONVECTION HEATING-,
Some foods are best when cooked using convection heat alone. These are foods which
often have a cooking time of 15 minutes or less and usually need quick crisping and
browning.
These include:
Appetizers - frozen, pastry-type, or other
Biscuits and rolls - dairy case, brown n'serve, your recipe
Brownies- mix, your recipe
Cookies - mix, slice n'bake, frozen, your recipe
Cream puffs, puff pastry, turnovers, etc.
Fish sticks - frozen, breaded
Muffins-- mix, your recipe
Pie crust - frozen, mix, your recipe
Pizza - fresh, frozen, your recipe
Souffles
Basic Convection Heating Procedure:
1. Consult recipe or package directions for temperature and time.
2. Preheat oven if required by package directions or recipe.
3. Food may be cooked directly on turntable if appropriate, or on two levels using baking
rack and appropriate baking vessel. Example: Fish sticks may be cooked directly on
turntable. Muffins may be cooked on 2 levels using the baking rack and two 6-muffin
baking pans.
4. Check for doneness at the end of cooking time.
Helpful Hints:
1. Do not cover turntable or baking rack with aluminum foil. It interferes with the flow of
air that cooks food.
2. If food is not done when checked after cooking time, let stand in oven one or two min-
utes to complete cooking.
3. Round pizza pans are excellent cooking utensils for many convection-only items.
Choose pans that do not have extended handles.
