Using the convection oven.

Instructions Safety

Convection Roast

■Good for large tender cuts of meat, uncovered.

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. 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.

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

Care and Cleaning Operating

When baking cookies, you will get the best results if you use a flat cookie sheet instead of a pan with low sides.

Cookware for Convection Cooking

Before using your convection oven, check to see if your cookware leaves room for air circulation in the oven.

If you are baking with several pans, leave space between them. Also, be sure the pans do not touch each other or the walls of the oven.

Paper and Plastic

Heat-resistant paper and plastic containers that are recommended for use in regular ovens can be used in convection ovens. Plastic cookware that is heat-resistant to temperatures of 400°F can also be used.

Metal and Glass

Any type of cookware will work in your convection oven. However, metal pans heat the fastest and are recommended for convection baking.

■Darkened or matte-finished pans will bake faster than shiny pans.

■Glass or ceramic pans cook more slowly.

For recipes like oven-baked chicken, use a pan with low sides. Hot air cannot circulate well around food in a pan with high sides.
