♦Amount of sugar in the crust.
♦Size of your pie tin and the amount of filling used.
♦Butter or oil in the crust.
♦Amount of shortening to flour.

For test pies we used 9” pie tins with homemade apple filling. Our crust was made using a basic
♦3 parts flour
♦2 parts shortening
♦(approx.)1 part water
♦Add a little salt and a four finger pinch of sugar
The BroilKing Convection Oven was preheated to 325ºF and the pies were baked for 45 minutes to an hour depending on the filling. The aroma coming out of the BroilKing Training Center was fantastic!
•Pizza
There are so many pizzas it’s hard to know where to start. The pizza we used for our tests were the 11”, frozen, self rising type. They were all baked at 350ºF for 8 - 20 minutes, and our results were great on all of them. (The pizza manufacturers suggested a temperature of 400ºF for
•“Oven Fried” Chicken

We take cooked, frozen, browned chicken and season it with the seasoning(s) of your choice to produce the most delicious, unique chicken you have ever tasted...and it's all done in your oven in about 30 minutes. Your chicken goes from the freezer, to the oven, to the table in less time than it takes to fry from raw.

You can have Cajun, Lemon Pepper, Italian, TexMex, Smoky, Jamaican, or…Whatever flavor you want, “Oven Fried” Chicken!
•“Rotisserie Style” Chicken
You’ll need a baking sheet pan and a cooking rack to keep your chicken elevated during the cooking process. The cooking rack allows air to circulate all around the chicken, similar to a rotisserie. You can also place your chicken directly on the oven rack and let it drip into a pan below.
♦ Caution! Never allow grease to drip onto the bottom of the oven!
Method
♦Season a 3 pound chicken and place it on the cooking rack. (For options, see below)
♦Preheat your Convection Oven to 325ºF.
♦Roast the chicken for about 45 minutes. If a crispier product is desired, raise the temperature to about 350ºF.
♦Cook chicken to an internal temperature of 180ºF.
♦Stuffing the chicken will increase cooking time and it is NOT suggested.
Options
♦Slip slices of lemon under the skin on the breast before roasting.
♦Slip Italian sausage under the skin of the breast before roasting.
♦Slip sun dried tomatoes, fresh herbs, under the skin before roasting.
♦Spray the chicken with olive oil, season, and dust with mashed potato flakes before roasting.
