Grid
oven.
Convection Roast
Good for large tender cuts of meat,
uncovered.
The convection fan circulates
the heated air evenly over and around
the food. Meat and poultry are browned
on all sides as if they were cooked on a
rotisserie.The heated air seals in juices
quickly for a moist and tender product
while, at the same time, creating a rich
golden brown exterior.
When you are convection roasting it is
important that you use a broiler pan and
grid for best convection roasting results.
The pan is used to catch grease spills
and the grid is used to prevent grease
spatters.

Cookware for Convection Cooking
Before using your convection oven, check
to see if your cookware leaves room for air
circulation in the oven. If you are baking
with several pans, leave space between
them. Also, be sure the pans do not touch
each other or the walls of the oven.
Paper end Plastic
Heat-resistant paper and plastic containers
that are recommended for use in regular
baking can also be used for convection
baking, but should not be used at
temperatures higher than the temperature
recommended by the cookware
manufacturer. Plasticcookware
that is heat-resistant to temperatures
of 400°Fcan also be used.
Metal and Glass
Any type of cookware will work in your
convection oven. However,metal pans
heat the fastest and are recommended
for convection baking.
Darkened or matte-finished pans wi!!
bake faster than shiny pans.
Glass or ceramic pans cook more slowly.
For recipes like oven-baked chicken,
use a pan with low sides. Hot air
cannot circulate well around food
in a pan with high sides.
