Convection Baking Recommendations

(Selected Models Only)

•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 14 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 14" x 12" (overall size, includes handles).

•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, 30 and 4. However, pizzas should be placed on cookie sheets and baked on rack positions #20, 3 and 4.
