How convection cooking
Convection cooking circulates hot air through the oven cavity with a fan. The constantly moving air surrounds the food to heat the outer portion quickly. Your oven
uses convection cooking whenever you use l the Convection Command Pads. DO NOT
USE THE OVEN WITHOUT THE TURN- TABLE IN PLACE.

When baking cakes, cookies, breads, rolls or other baked foods, most recipes call for preheating. Preheat the empty oven just as you do a regular oven. You can start heavier dense foods such as meats, casseroles, and poultry without preheating. All heatproof cookware or metal utensils can be used in convection cooking.
As in conventional cooking, the distance of the food from the heat source affects cooking results. Follow Cookbook recipes and refer to the charts in this Use and Care Guide. It is also helpful to find a similar recipe in the Cookbook index and to refer to recipes’ suggested techniques. Use metal utensils only for convection cooking. Never use for microwave or combination cooking since arcing and damage to the oven may occur.
