Convection Baking/Convert Tips
• Fully preheat the oven before baking items like cookies,
biscuits, and breads.
• When using any single oven rack, position the rack in the
oven so that the food is in the center of the oven.
• When baking cakes using two oven racks, place bakeware
in positions 1 and 3 (Figure 55) and place pans as shown in
Figure 56.
• Allow at least 2 inches (5 cm) of space between bakeware
and the right and left side of the oven cavity for proper air
circulation.
• Cookies and biscuits should be baked on pans with no sides
or very low sides to allow air to circulate around the food.
Dark or dull bakeware absorbs more heat than shiny
bakeware, resulting in dark or overbrowned foods. It may
be necessary to reduce oven temperature or bake time to
prevent overbrowning of some foods. Dark bakeware is
recommended for pies. Shiny bakeware is recommended
for cakes, cookies, and muffins.
• Do not open the oven door often. Opening the door will
reduce the temperature in the oven and may increase bake
time.
Reduce oven temperature 25°F (14°C) from recipe's recom-
mended oven temperature. Follow the remainder of the
recipe's instructions using the minimum recommended bake
time.
• For cakes, pastries, and breads, use the convection bake
function for best results when using multiple racks.
• The convection fan on a gas range will not begin rotating
until Convection Bake has been into the cycle for six
minutes.
