Adapting Recipes…

You can use your favorite recipes in the convection oven. Recipe conversion is as easy as 1, 2, 3.

1 When roasting, reduce normal roasting time by 25%.

2 When baking, reduce baking temperature by 25°F.

3 No need to preheat when cooking longer than 15 minutes.

■ For more information on adapting recipes, see the Convection Cookbook.

■ 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.

Cookware for Convection Cooking

Before using your convection oven, check to see if your cookware leaves room for air circulation in the oven. If you are baking with several pans, leave space between them. Also, be sure the pans do not touch each other or the walls of the oven.

Paper and Plastic

Heat-resistant paper and plastic containers that are recommended for use in regular ovens can be used in convection ovens.

Plastic cookware that is heat-resistant to temperatures of 400°F. can also be used.

Metal and Glass

Any type of cookware will work in your convection oven. However, metal pans heat the fastest and are recommended for convection baking.

■ Darkened or matte-finished pans will bake faster than shiny pans. ■ Glass or ceramic pans cook more slowly.

When baking cookies, you will get the best results if you use a flat cookie sheet instead of a pan with low sides.

For recipes like oven-baked chicken, use a pan with low sides. Hot air cannot circulate well around food in a pan with high sides.
