CONVECTION BAKING

As a general rule, reduce the temperature by 25°F. for convection baking.

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 the 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.

Multi-Shelf Baking

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