CONVECTION COOKING
The convection cooking will be best use4 for items like souffles, breads, angel food cakes, pizza, and also
for meat and fish.
.
No special techniques are required to adapt your favorite oven recipes to convection cooking. You may
need to use lower temperatures by 25°F“3S°F than in a conventional oven, because the convection
cooking method is identical to a conventional oven except for the increased efficiency of fan-circulated
hot air.
When baking cakes, cookies, breads, rolls or other baked foods, most recipes call for preheating. Preheat
the empty oven just as you do the conventional oven. Heavier dense foods such as meats, casseroles,
poultry can be started without preheating ' -
All heatproof cookware or metal utensils may be used in convection cooking.
CERAMIC TRAY
The ceramic tray should be removed from oven prior to convection cooking to allow for the most even
heating.
METAI.RACK
The metal rack has two positions; upper and lower. As conventional cooking, the distance of the food
from heat source affects cooking results. Always consider the cooking method and desired results when
deciding which cooking position to use.
There is no standard nie for rack position for every food type, therefore, please refer to your cookbook
food charts in each chapter of the book. Also, finding a similar recipe in the cookbook index and referring to
the recipe’s suggested position will be helpful.
