Oven Modes

Convection Roast

Convection roast uses heat from the top and bottom elements as well as heat circulated by the convection fan

Figure 12: Convection Roast

The convection roast mode is well suited to preparing tender cuts of meat and poultry.

The benefits of convection roasting, include

As much as 25% faster cooking than standard Roasting/ Baking

Rich, golden browning

For Best Results

•Use the same temperature as indicated in the recipe

•Check doneness early as roasting time may decrease by as much as 25%. Refer to convection roast chart for examples.

•Do not cover meat or use cooking bags.

•Use the broil pan and grid provided with the oven for roasting. A low-sided, uncovered pan can also be used.

•Use a meat thermometer to determine the internal temperature of the meat.

•If the meat is browned to your liking, but is not yet done, a small strip of foil can be placed over the meat to prevent overbrowning.

•Let meat stand covered with foil 10-15 minutes after removing from the oven.
