CONVECTION BAKING

Adapting Recipes For Convection Baking

As a general rule, reduce the temperature by 25°F. for convection baking. For more specific instructions, follow the guidelines in the Convection Cookbook.

Preheating is not necessary with foods having a bake time of over 15 minutes.

Check foods for doneness at the minimum suggested cooking time.

Use pan size recommended in the recipe.

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.

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

Multi-Shelf Baking

Because heated air is circulated evenly throughout the oven, foods can be baked with excellent results on 2 or 3 shelves at a time. Multi-shelf baking may increase cook times slightly for some foods but the overall result is time saved. Cookies, muffins, biscuits, and other quickbreads give very good results with multi-shelf baking.

When baking on 3 shelves, divide the oven into thirds by placing the offset shelf in the second (B) shelf position and the straight shelves in first (A) and fourth (D) shelf position.

For 2-shelf baking, place the straight shelves in the A and C positions.

NOTE: When convection baking with only 1 shelf, follow the shelf positions recommended in the Oven Shelves section of the Regular Baking section.
