How convection cooking works

Convection cooking circulates hot air through the oven cavity with a fan. The constantly moving air surrounds the food to heat the outer portion quickly. Your oven uses convection cooking whenever you use the Convection Command Pads.

Helpful hints for convection cooking:

•Do not cover baking rack with aluminum foil. It interferes with the flow of air that cooks the food.

•Round pizza pans are excellent cookware for many convection-only items. Choose pans that do not have extended handles.

•Use convection cooking for items like souffles, breads, cookies, angel food cakes, pizza, and for some meat and fish cooking.

•You do not need to use any special techniques to adapt your favorite oven recipes to convection cooking; however, you may need to lower some temperatures or reduce some cooking times from the convection oven cooking directions. See examples in your cookbook and in the charts in this section.

•When baking cakes, cookies, breads, rolls, or other baked foods, most recipes call for preheating. Preheat the empty oven just as you do a regular oven. You can start heavier dense foods such as meats, casseroles, and poultry without preheating.

•All heatproof cookware or metal utensils can be used in convection cooking.

•As in conventional cooking, the distance of the food from the heat source affects cooking results. Follow cookbook recipes and refer to the charts in this Use and Care Guide. It is also helpful to find a similar recipe in the cookbook index and to refer to recipes’ suggested techniques.

•Use metal cookware only for convection cooking. Never use for microwave or combination cooking since arcing and damage to the oven may occur.

•After preheating, if you do not open the door, the oven will automatically hold at the preheated temperature for 30 minutes.

•You can set up to three convection cycles. (Example for two crust pies: you can set the oven to preheat for baking at 425°F and to finish baking at 350°F.)
