In a convection oven, the fan-circulated hot air continually
distributes heat more evenly than the natural movement of air in a
standard thermal oven. This movement of hot air maintains a
consistent temperature throughout the oven, cooking foods more
evenly, crisping surfaces while sealing in moisture and yielding
crustier breads.
Most foods can be cooked by lowering cooking temperatures
25°F to 50°F (14°C to 28°C) and cooking time can be shortened
by as much as 30 percent, especially for large turkeys and roasts.
• It is important not to cover foods so that surface areas remain
exposed to the circulating air, allowing browning and crisping.
• Keep heat loss to a minimum by only opening the oven door
when necessary.
• Choose cookie sheets without sides and roasting pans with
lower sides to allow air to move freely around the food.
• Test baked goods for doneness a few minutes before the
minimum cooking time with an alternative method such as a
toothpick.
• Use a meat thermometer or the temperature probe to
determine the doneness of meats and poultry. Check the
temperature of pork and poultry in two or three places.
The bottom element operates at full power whenever heating. Air
in the oven cavity is pulled into the center of the fan and pushed
out around the baffle for even heating and faster cooking.
Use this setting for single rack roasting and baking.
During convection cooking, the oven door must remain closed.
The convection fan will operate only when the door is closed.
To Convection Bake:
1. Turn the oven function selector knob to CONVEC BAKE.
2. Turn the oven temperature control knob to the desired
cooking temperature.
3. The oven is ready for baking when the OVEN indicator light
turns off, indicating that the oven has preheated to the set
temperature.
4. When cooking is complete, turn the oven function selector
and oven temperature control knobs to the OFF position.
Use the following chart below when convection roasting meats
and poultry.
