Convection Cooking of
Convenience Foods
◆For best results, use the Convect Roast pad.
◆Preheating the oven is not necessary.
◆Follow package recommendations for oven temperature, foil covering and the use of cookie sheets. Cooking times will be similar. (See chart below for some exceptions.)
◆Most foods are cooked on rack position #3o (offset on #3).
◆For multiple rack cooking with convection, use racks #1 and 3o and 4. However, pizzas should be placed on cookie sheets and cooked on rack positions #2o, 3 and 4.
