CONVECTION COOKING

With convection cooking, you can use your Cuisinart oven as a traditional oven. The microwave function is not used.

During convection cooking, a heating element is used to raise the temperature of the air inside the oven. A fan gently circulates this heated air throughout the oven, over and around the food, producing golden brown exteriors and rich moist interiors.

Because the heated air is kept constantly moving, preventing a layer of cooler air from developing around food, some foods cook faster than in regular oven cooking. Also, foods lose less moisture and are able to retain nutrients better.

This oven can be programmed for ten different cooking temperatures for up to 99 minutes, 99 seconds.
