Adapting Recipes For Convection Baking
As a general rule, reduce the temperature by
convection baking. For more specific instructions,
follow the guidelines in the Convection Cookbook.
Preheating is not necessary with foods having a bake
time of over 15 minutes.
Check foods doneness at the minimum
suggested cooking time.
Use pan size recommended in recipe.
For more information on adapting recipes, see the
Convection Cookbook.
Multi-Shelf Baking
Because heated air is circulated evenly throughout the
oven, foods can be baked with excellent results on two
or three shelves at a time. Multi-shelf baking may increase
cook times slightly for some foods but
overall result
is saved. Cookies, biscuits, and give
very good results with multi-shelf baking.
When baking on 3
shelves, divide the oven
into thirds by placing the
shelf in the third
(C) shelf position and
straight shelves in first
(A) and fourth (D) shelf
position.
For 2-shelf baking, place the shelf in the
bottom (A) shelf position. the straight shelf in
the third (C) shelf position.
CAUTION: When you are using the offset shelf in
the lowest position (A), you will need to
caution
when pulling the shelf out. We recommend that you
pull the shelf out several inches and then, using two
pot holders,
the out by the sides
it. The offset shelf is low and you could be burned if
you place your hand in the middle the shelf and
pull
the out.
NOTE: When convection baking with only one shelf,
follow the shelf positions recommended in Oven
Shelves in the Regular Baking section.
