Using the convection oven. | ge.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.
To help you understand the difference between convection bake and roast and traditional bake and roast, here are some general guidelines.
Safety Instructions
Convection Bake
Grid
■ Preheat the oven. See the Using the Oven– Preheating and Pan Placement section.
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
■Ideal for foods cooked on multiple shelves.
■Good for large quantities of baked foods.
■Good results with cookies, biscuits, brownies, cupcakes, cream puffs, sweet rolls, angel food cake and bread.
The convection fan circulates the heated air evenly over and around the food.
Convection Roast
■Good for large tender cuts of meat, uncovered.
■Oven door must be closed for convection roasting.
The convection fan circulates the heated air evenly over and around the food. Using the grid and broiler pan provided, heated air will be circulated over 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.
Broiler pan
Roasts or poultry should be cooked on shelf position (A).
When you are convection roasting, it is important that you use the broiler pan and grid for best convection roasting results. The pan is used to catch grease spills and the grid is used to prevent grease spatters.
■Place the shelf in shelf position (A).
■Place the grid on the broiler pan.
Adapting Recipes…

When baking or roasting, 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.
