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, when oven is below 400°F.

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.

Touch the CLEAR/OFF pad when finished.

NOTE: You will hear a fan while cooking with convection. The fan will stop when the door is opened but the heat will not turn off.

Consumer Support Troubleshooting Tips Care and Cleaning

When convection baking with only 1 shelf, follow the shelf positions recommended in the Using the oven section.

Multi-Shelf Baking

Because heated air is circulated evenly throughout the oven, foods can be baked with excellent results using multiple shelves.

Multi-shelf baking may increase cook times slightly for some foods but the overall result is time saved. Cookies, muffins, biscuits, and other quick breads give very good results with multi-shelf baking.

When baking on 3 shelves, place one shelf in the 2nd (B) position, one on the 4th (D) position and one shelf in the 6th (F) position.
