CONVECTION BAKING
Adapting Recipes for Convection Baking
As a general rule, reduce the temperature by Check foods for doneness at the minimum
for Convection Baking. For more specific instructions, suggested cooking time.
follow the guidelines in the Convection Cookbook.
Use pan size recommended in the recipe.
Preheating is not necessary with foods having a bake
time of over 15 minutes.
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 2 or shelves at a time. Multi-shelf baking may
increase cook times slightly for some foods but the
overall result is time saved. Cookies, muffins,
biscuits, and other
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.
Offset Shelf
For 2-shelf baking, place the offset shelf in the
bottom (A) shelf position. Place 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 use
caution when pulling the shelf out. We recommend
that you pull the shelf out several inches and then,
using 2 pot holders, pull the shelf out by holding the
sides of it. The offset shelf is low and you could be
burned if you place you hand in the middle of the
shelf and pull all the way out.
NOTE: When convection baking with only shelf,
follow the shelf positions recommended in Oven
Shelves in the Baking section.
