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.

Convection roasting

• 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. Using the roasting rack provided, 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.

When you are convection roasting, it is important that you use the broiler pan and grid and the special roasting rack for best convection roasting results. The pan is used to catch grease spills and the grid is used to prevent grease spatters, while the roasting rack allows the heated air to circulate under the meat and increase browning on the underside of the meat or poultry.

•Place the rack (on 27″ models use the offset rack) in the lowest rack position (A).

•Place the grid on the broiler pan and put the roasting rack over them, making sure the posts on the roasting rack fit into the holes in the broiler pan.

•Place meat on the special roasting rack.

CAUTION:

When you are using the offset rack (on 27″ models) in the lowest position (A), you will need to use caution when pulling the rack out. We recommend that you pull the rack out several inches and then, using two pot holders, pull the rack out by holding the sides of it. The offset rack is low and you could be burned if you place your hand in the middle of the rack and pull all the way out. Be very careful not to burn your hand on the door when using a rack in the lowest position (A).
