Using the convection oven.

www.GEAppliances.com

The convection oven fan shuts off when the oven door is opened. DO NOT leave the door open for long periods of time while using convection cooking or you may shorten the life of the convection heating element.

Safety

In a convection oven, a fan circulates hot air over, under and around the food.

This circulating hot air is evenly distributed throughout the oven cavity. As a result, foods are evenly cooked and browned—often in less time with convection heat. (appearance may vary)

To help you understand the difference between convection bake and roast and traditional bake and roast, here are some general guidelines.

Convection Bake

Ideal for evenly browned baked foods cooked on multiple shelves.

Good for large quantities of baked foods.

Good results with cookies, biscuits, muffins, brownies, cupcakes, cream puffs, sweet rolls, angel food cake and bread.

Heat comes from the heating element in the rear of the oven. The convection fan circulates the heated air evenly over and around the food. Preheating is not necessary with foods having a bake time of over 15 minutes.

Convection Roast

Good for large tender cuts of meat, uncovered.

Heat comes from the top heating element. The convection fan circulates the heated air evenly over and around the food. Meat and poultry are browned on all sides as if they were cooked on a rotisserie. Using the roasting rack provided, heated air will be circulated over, under and around the food being roasted. The heated air seals in juices quickly for a moist and tender product while, at the same time, creating a rich golden brown exterior.

Roasts or poultry should be cooked on a shelf (on 27models use the offset shelf) in the lowest shelf position (A).

When you are convection roasting it is important that you use the broiler pan and grid and the special roasting rack for best convection roasting results. The pan is used to catch grease spills and the grid is used to prevent grease spatters.

Grid

Broiler pan

Offset shelf (27models only)

Place the meat on the special roasting rack. The rack holds the meat. The rack allows the heated air to circulate under the meat and increase browning on the underside of the meat or poultry.

Place the shelf (on 27″ models use the offset shelf) in the lowest shelf position (A).

Place the grid on the broiler pan and put the roasting rack over them making sure the posts on the roasting rack fit into the holes in the broiler pan.

CAUTION: When you are using the offset shelf (on 27models) in the lowest position (A), you will need to use caution when pulling the shelf out. We recommend that you pull the shelf out several inches and then, using two pot holders, pull the shelf out by holding the sides of it. The offset shelf is low and you could be burned if you place your hand in the middle of the shelf and pull all the way out. Be very careful not to burn your hand on the door when using a shelf in the lowest position (A).

Adapting Recipes…

You can use your favorite recipes in the convection oven.

When baking, reduce baking temperature by 25°F.

No need to preheat when cooking longer than 15 minutes.

Use pan size recommended.

Some package instructions for frozen casseroles or main dishes have been developed using commercial convection ovens. For best results in this oven, preheat the oven and use the temperature on the package.
