CONVECTION COOKING
The convection cooking will be best used for items like souffles, breads, pizza, and also for meat and fish.
No special techniques are required to adapt your favorite oven recipes to convection cooking. Because convection cooking
has increased efficiency due to the fan-circulated hot air, you may need to decrease conventional cooking temperatures by
25°F. This is the only difference between conventional and convection cooking.
When baking cakes, cookies, breads, rolls or other baked foods, most recipes call for preheating. Preheat the empty oven
just as you do the conventiona^oven. However, 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.
Since various foods benefit from the use of the rack in addition to the turntable, we have made recommendations below.
The foods listed can be placed directly on the metal rack with a heatproof plate placed below to catch the drippings.
Metal Turntable Beef Roast, Leg of Lamb, Whole Chicken, Pie, Biscuits, Cookies, Soufflé
Metal Rack
(on turntable)
Steak, Hamburger Patty, Pork Chops, Chicken Pieces
Metal Turntable Metal Rack (on turntable)
NOTE: When using the metal rack always
place the rack on the turntable.
BAKING PAN/METAL UTENSILS
Any Pizza Pan with less than a 12-inch diameter can be used with this oven.
METAL UTENSILS should only be used in convection cooking. Metal utensils should be placed on the metal
turntable or metal rack. Never use metal utensils for microwave or micro/convection combination cooking.
