Convection baking chart

If Auto Conversion is disabled, reduce standard recipe tem- perature by 25°F for CONVECTION BAKE.

Temperatures have been adjusted in this chart. Multi rack cooking may slightly increase cook times for some foods, but the overall result is time saved.

This chart is only for reference. Adjust COOK TIME accord- ing to your preference.

3Cookware for convection cooking

Check to see if your cookware leaves room for air circula- tion in the oven before using your convection oven. If you are baking with several pans, leave space between them. Also, be sure the pans do not touch each other or the walls of the oven.

1) Paper and Plastic

You can use heat-resistant paper and plastic containers that are recommended for use in regular ovens in con- vection ovens.

2) Metal and Glass

Any type of cookware will work in your convection oven. However, metal pans heat the fastest and are recom- mended for convection baking.

•Darkened or matte-finished pans will bake faster than shiny pans.

•Glass or ceramic pans cook more slowly.

When baking cookies, use a flat cookie sheet instead of a pan with low sides to get the best results

For recipes like oven-baked chicken, use a pan with low sides. Hot air cannot circulate well around food in a pan

with high sides.

NOTE

yyCookies and biscuits should be baked on pans with no sides or very low sides to allow heated air to circulate around the food. Food baked on pans with a dark finish will cook faster.

yyFoods cooked on a single oven rack will generally cook faster and more evenly with convection bake. Multiple oven rack cooking may slightly increase cook times for some foods, but the overall result is time saved. Breads and pastries brown more even- ly.

yyCookies, muffins and biscuits will have very good results when using multiple racks.

yyThe convection fan stops during convection bake cycle to allow for more even heating. This is normal.

yyUse the recommended size pan in recipe.

yySome frozen foods have been developed to use commercial convection ovens. For best results in this oven, preheat the oven and use the tempera- ture recommended in the recipe.

yyIf a food manufacturer gives specific convection baking package instructions, program the AUTO CONVERSION temperature so that the preheated oven temperature reads the same as the tempera- ture on the package instructions.
