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.

Safety

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 browned— often in less time than with regular heat.

NOTE: To maximize cooking evenness, the fan is designed to rotate in both directions with a pause in between. This is normal.

To help you understand the difference between convection bake and roast and traditional bake and roast, here are some general guidelines.

Convection Bake

Preheat the oven. See the Using the Oven– Preheating and Pan Placement section.

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.

The convection fan circulates the heated air evenly over and around the food. Meat and poultry are browned on all sides as if they were cooked on a rotisserie. Heated air will be circulated over, under 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.

Roasts or poultry should be cooked on shelf position (A).

When you are convection roasting, it is important that you use a 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).
