What is
convection
cooking?
In a convection oven, a tim circulates the heated
air evenly, over and around the food. This
circulating hot air is evenly distributed
throughout the oven cavity. As a result, fbods
are evenly cooked and browned-often in less
ume with convection heat. Preheating is not
necessa U with foods having a bake time of over
15 n_inutes.
. Food is heated filster in a convection oven.
When using the convection feature, many
pypes of food can be cooked at lower
temperatures than those suggested f_r
regular ovens.
" Good %r large quantities of baked %ods.
" Good results with cookies, biscuits, brownies,
cream pulls, sweet rolls, angel food cake and
bread.
. Ideal for baked foods cooked on two or three
shelves. Because heated air is circulated evenly
throughout the oven, foods can be baked with
excellent results on two or three shelves at a
time. Multi-shelf baking may increase cook
times slightly for some f_o(ts but the overall
result is time saved. Multi-shelf baking
provides vmT good results with cookies,
biscuits and other quickbreads.
. Recipe books often give times and
temperatures fbr cooking in regular ovens.
Convection ovens make it possible to reduce
the temperature by 25-50 °F.
. Check foods for doneness at the n_ininmm
suggested cooking time.
. Some package instructions for frozen
casseroles or main dishes have been developed
using commercial convection ovens. For best
results in this oven, preheat the oven and use
the temperature on the package.
