CONVECTION MODE

The heat for convection baking comes from the third element at the back of the oven. This mode uses a fan surrounded by the element to circulate the heat throughout the oven. This accelerated air move- ment allows for multiple rack baking and a 25° to 50°F (14º to 28ºC) temperature reduction from the stan- dard bake setting. Generally speaking, the longer the cooking time the greater the time savings.

Foods recommended for convection mode:

Air Leavened Foods (Souffles, Meringue, Cream

Puffs, Angel Food Cakes, Chiffon Cakes) Appetizers

Biscuits Coffee Cakes Cookies (2 to 6 racks) Yeast Breads Popovers

Dehydrating a variety of foods Main Dishes

Meats, Roasts and Poultry Fish and Seafood Items Oven Meals (1 to 4 racks)

General Guidelines

The number of racks used is determined by the height of the food to be cooked.

Use low-sided pans when possible for best air circulation.

To fully utilize the convection system, cook foods that are uncovered.

Use shiny aluminum pans for best result unless otherwise specified.

Dark metal pans and heatproof glass or ceramic can be used. Reduce temperature another 25°F

(14ºC) when using heatproof glass pans for a total reduction of 50°F (28ºC).

Use an aluminum cookie sheet with only two turned-up edges.

Multiple rack cooking for cakes and oven meals are done on racks 1, 3 and 5 and up to 6 racks for cookies, biscuits, rolls and appetizers.

Pans do not need to be staggered.

Convection Baking Charts are found on Pages 38 to 40.

Tips for Solving Baking Problems are found on Page 57.

A quick and easy recipe conversion from standard Bake to Convection: Reduce the temperature 25°F. Use the same cooking time as BAKE if under 15 minutes. If food is cooked over 30 minutes, check 5 to 10 minutes sooner.

DehydratingTechniques

A CONVECTION mode becomes a Dehydrating mode when the temperature is set at 140°F (60ºC). You may dehydrate a variety of fruits, vegetables, herbs and meat strips. Drying screens or cookie sheets may be used for this purpose. Consult a food preservation book for times and temperatures. If a temperature other than 140°F (60ºC) is required for a specific food, select the Convection Mode and press the desired temperature pads.
