True Convection
True Convection is well suited for cooking individual serving-sized foods such as
cookies and biscuits. It is also good for cooking on multiple racks (2 or 3) at the
same time. Baking cookies is possible on 6 racks simultaneously. In this case, the
baking time increases slightly. The benefits of True Convection include:
• Even browning.
• Time savings as a result of using multiple racks at one time.
Tips • Reduce recipe temperature by 25 ºF. Refer to True Convection chart.
• Place food in low-sided, uncovered pans such as cookie sheets without sides.
• If baking more than one pan on a rack, allow at least 1" to 1 ½" of air space
around the pan.
• For cakes use rack positions 2 and 5 (see graphic below).
