Convection Baking Tips:
• Fully preheat the oven before baking items like cookies,
biscuits, and breads.
• When using any single rack, position the rack so that the
food is in the center of the oven.
• Dark or dull bakeware absorbs more heat than shiny
bakeware resulting in dark or over browning of foods. It
may be necessary to reduce the oven temperature or cook
time to prevent over browning of some foods. Dark
bakeware is recommended for pies. Shiny bakeware is
recommended for cakes, cookies, and muffins.
• When using convection, use bakeware with low sides. This
allows the air to circulate around the food evenly.
• Cookies should be baked on a pan with low or no sides for
best results.
• Because most food items will cook faster and more evenly
with the convection feature, it is advisable to reduce recipe’s
recommended temperature by 25° for best results. Follow
the recipe’s instructions using the minimum recommended
cook time.
• When using convection bake, cook time reductions may
vary depending on the amount and type of food being
cooked.
• For batter and dough-based baked goods such as cakes,
pastries, and breads, use the convection bake function for
best results. Place the pans as shown in Figure 31.
• Do not open the oven door often. Opening the door will
reduce the temperature in the oven and may increase bake
time.
• Glass bakeware may require reduced temperatures.
• For best results when baking cookies and cakes using two
oven racks, place racks in positions 2 and 5 (Figure 32) and
place pans as shown in Figure 31. Use flat rack in position 5
and glide rack in position 2.
• When baking using two oven racks, position bakeware as
shown in Figure 31. Allow at least 2 inches (5 cm) of space
between bakeware for proper air circulation.
• The convection fan on a gas range will not begin rotating
until Convection Bake has been into the cycle for 6 minutes.
