Your new oven also offers the option of combination cooking, using microwave energy along with convection cooking. - Page 17 Cookware Tips Convection Cooking Metal Pans are recommended for all types of baked products, but especially where browning or crusting is important. Dark or dull finish metal pans are best for breads and pies because they absorb heat and produce crisper crust. Shiny aluminum pans are better for cakes, cookies or muffins because these pans reflect heat and help produce a light tender crust.
- Page 18 About the convection features. During convection cooking, a heating element is used to raise the temperature of the air inside the oven. Any oven temperature from 225°F. to 450°F. may be programmed. A fan gently circulates this heated air throughout the oven, over and around the food, producing golden brown exteriors and rich, moist interiors.
