CONVECTION BAKING GUIDELINES

1. Always use the convection rack when convection baking. Place food directly on rack or place in metal tray and
then place tray on rack. For best results with foods such as french fries or cheese sticks, space items so that they
do not touch. Proper airflow is necessary for optimum performance.
2. Aluminum pans conduct heat quickly. For most convection baking, light, shiny finishes give best results because
they prevent overbrowning in the time it takes to cook the center areas. Pans with dull (satin-finish) bottoms are
recommended for cake pans and pie pans for best bottom browning.
3. Dark or non-shiny finishes, glass, and pyroceram absorb heat which may result in dry, crisp crusts.
4. Preheating the oven is recommended when baking foods by convection. Meats, casseroles and poultry do not
require preheating.
5. To prevent uneven heating and save energy, open the oven door to check food as little as possible.
