CONVECTION ROAST MODE

The heat for convection roasting comes from the third element at the back of the oven and from the lower bake element. This mode uses a fan, surrounded by the element, to circulate the heat throughout the oven. The combination of bottom heat and convection heat produces a deeper, brown roast and crispier poultry skin than Bake. This accelerated air movement allows for roasting at a 25° to 50°F (14º to 28ºC) temperature reduction from a standard bake setting. Generally speaking, the longer the cooking time the greater the time savings.

Meats Recommended for Convection Roast Mode:

Beef Roasts

Lamb

Poultry - Turkey, Chicken, Cornish Game

Hens

Pork Roasts

Veal Roasts

General Guidelines

Use low-sided pans for roasting. Allow as much of the circulating heat as possible to reach the food without restriction by high-sided pans.

The 2-piece broil pan is suitable for Convection Roast.

Cook only tender cuts of meats listed above in this mode. Other less-tender cuts of meat benefit from long, slow, moist cooking in a covered pan.

See Convection Roasting Charts on Pages 42 and 43.
