TEST PROCEDURES

Bake and Convection tests:

The same recipes and bakeware have been used to prepare and bake the cakes and cookies. For baking, the cakes and cookies have been placed in the oven as recommended by the Use & Care Manual of each manufacturer. For Convection tests, the recommended Convection mode for the test dishes has been used.

The evaluation of the browning has been done with a Photovolt Reflectometer to measure the slightest differences in browning. Depending on the results, the tests were pass or fail.

Preheat tests:

The tests have been conducted in three modes (True Convection, Convection Bake, Bake). Fast preheat has been selected when available. The temperature has been measured in the center of the cavity.

Temperature graphs:

The temperature graphs have been recorded while running the preheat, baking and self clean tests.

A standardized mixture of ingredients has been used to soil the cavities with an equal amount and distribution to all accessible surfaces. And the longest avail- able self clean time has been set for each Oven.
