Convection Baking of
Frozen Convenience Foods
•Preheating the oven is not necessary.
•Follow package recommendations for oven temperature, foil covering and use of cookie sheets. Baking times will be similar. See chart below for some excep- tions and examples.
•Center foods in the oven. If more than one food item is being baked or if foods are being baked on multiple racks, stagger foods for proper air circulation.
•Most foods are baked on rack position #30.
•For multiple rack baking, use racks #1, 3o and 4. However, pizzas should be placed on cookie sheets and baked on rack position #2o, 3 and 4.
