MANUAL CONVECTION AND
AUTOMATIC MIX COOKING
Convection-Only Techniques
Convenience foods such as frozen appetizers, pizzas, egg rolls and refrigerated bread products bake
and brown quickly with convection-only cooking. Follow package directions for conventional baking
times.
Preheating the oven is necessary with convection cooking of smaller, faster-cooking food items that
require less than 20 minutes of baking. Foods requiring longer baking time use LOW MIX.
Two-level baking allows baking of two pans of cookies, small muffins or pizzas at the same time.
Round baking pans are excellent cooking utensils for many convection-only items.
Bread & Baking Techniques
Preheating of oven is not necessary. Bake one loaf 25 minutes and two loaves 30 minutes at LOW MIX.
After baking, bread should be golden brown and sound hollow when tapped. Do not let bread stand
in oven; remove from pans immediately to cool on wire rack.
Proofing dough. Use your own recipe or frozen dough. Place in well-greased bowl or loaf pan; cover
with damp cloth. Place in oven at *SLOW COOK 100°F 30 to 45 minutes. Frozen dough will take longer,
2 to 23/4 hours. Dough is doubled when impressions remain after fingers are pressed 1/2 inch into
dough. (*necessary to change temperature on SLOW COOK.)
Braid or other shape. Remove turntable from oven. Shape bread; lace directly on turntable. No
preheating is needed. Bake for three-fourths of the time in your conventional recipe on LOW MIX.
Pie Techniques
Custard Pies. Prebake and cool pie shell as directed above. Fill with uncooked custard. Without
preheating, bake pie on round baking pan placed on broiling rack for 30 to 35 minutes on *LOW MIX,
325°E If custard is not set, let stand in oven a few minutes to complete cooking. (*Necessary to change
temperature on LOW MIX).
Pie Shell. Use mix, frozen pie dough, or your recipe for single crust pie. Prick crust with fork. Preheat
oven to 425°E Place pie shell on broiling rack; bake with convection heat 8 to 10 minutes or until lightly
browned. Cool and fill.
Frozen Prepared Custard-Type Pies. Preheat oven to temperature listed on package. Place pie on
broiling rack. Bake three-fourths of package time using LOW MIX set at the package temperature. If
filling is not set, let stand in oven to complete cooking. Frozen Prepared Fruit Pies. Do not preheat
oven. Bake on broiling rack. Use *HIGH MIX, 375°E Bake 8-inch, 35 minutes; 9-inch, 40 to 45 minutes.
(*Necessary to change temperature on HIGH MIX).
Double Crust or Crumb Top Pies. Prepare pie as you would for conventional baking; make slits in
top of two crust pie. Preheat oven to 400°F. Place pie on broiling rack. Bake double crust or lattice
pies 25 to 35 minutes on *HIGH MIX, 400°F; crumb top pies 20 to 25 minutes on *HIGH MIX, 400°F
(*Necessary to change temperature on HIGH MIX).
