To reheat rolls or biscuits, place on baking pan and heat at 300ºF (150ºC) for 10 minutes.

Reheat leftover roasts or casseroles at 350ºF (180ºC) for 20 to 30 minutes or until heated through.

Baking Tips

The convection method cooks up to one-third faster than traditional baking.

When first using, check to determine if time or temperature should be adjusted.

Cooking time will vary considerably depending on the meat's thickness. Cook until thermometer inserted in the center of the meat registers desired doneness.
