Convection

Follow these general guidelines for converting conventional to convection cooking:
1. Bake at the same temperature the conventional recipe recommends, but for approximately 25-30% less time, or
2. Bake for the amount of time the conventional recipe calls for, but reduce the oven temperature by approximately 25ºF.
3. If the original conventional recipe time is less than 15 minutes, keep the original bake time, but reduce the temperature by approximately 25-30ºF.
4. Casseroles and high-sided pans are not recommended for convection cooking as they block the heat from circulating around the food and prevent
the oven from cooking efficiently.
