Convection Baking Recommendations

As a general rule, when using recipes or prepared mixes developed for a radiant bake oven, set the oven temperature 25°F lower than the recipe recommended temperature. Times will be similar to or a few minutes less than recipe recom- mended times. The chart on page 32 compares times and temperatures of many baked foods. Use this as a reference.

For better browning, large pans such as cookie sheets, or rectangular baking pans should be placed lengthwise, front to back, on the rack. This centers the food in front of the convection fan for better air circulation which gives better overall browning.

Cookie sheets should be without sides and made of shiny aluminum. The best size to use for cookie sheets is 151/2x 12-inches (overall size, includes handles).
