Convection Cooking - Lower Oven Only

(on some models)

During convection cooking, the fan provides increased hot air circulation throughout the oven. The movement of heated air around the food helps to speed up cooking by penetrating the cooler outer surfaces.

■It is important not to cover foods so that surface areas remain exposed to the circulating air, allowing browning and crisping.

■Keep heat loss to a minimum by opening the oven door only when necessary.

■Choose cookie sheets without sides and roasting pans with lower sides to allow air to move freely around the food.

■Test baked goods for doneness a few minutes before the minimum cooking time with a method such as a toothpick.

■Use a meat thermometer to determine the doneness of meats and poultry. Check the temperature of pork and poultry in 2 or 3 different places, including the thickest part.

■Before convection cooking, position the rack(s) according to the “Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section.

■When using more than one rack, position bakeware/ cookware on the racks to allow movement of the fan circulated air around the food. See the “Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section.

■If the oven is full, extra cooking time may be needed.

■For optimal cooking results, do not cover food.

■When roasting poultry and meat, use a broiler pan and grid. It is not necessary to wait for the oven to preheat, unless recommended in the recipe. To order a broiling pan, see the “Assistance or Service” section.
