■
You will hear a fan while cooking with
convection. The fan will stop when the door is
opened, but the heat will not turn off.
■
You may hear the oven clicking during
baking. This is normal.
Cookware for Convection Cooking
Before using your convection oven,
check to see if your cookware leaves
room for air circulation in the oven.
If you are baking with several pans, leave
space between them. Also, be sure the
pans do not touch each other or the
walls of the oven.
Paper and Plastic
Heat-resistant paper and plastic
containers that are recommended for
use in regular baking can also be used
for convection baking, but should not
be used at temperatures higher than
the temperature recommended by the
cookware manufacturer. Plastic cookware
that is heat-resistant to temperatures of
400°F (204°C) can also be used.
Metal and Glass
Any type of cookware will work in your
convection oven. However, metal pans
heat the fastest and are recommended
for convection baking.
■
Darkened or matte-finished pans will bake
faster than shiny pans.
■
Glass or ceramic pans cook more slowly.
For recipes like oven-baked chicken,
use a pan with low sides. Hot air cannot
circulate well around food in a pan with
high sides.
How to Set the Oven for Convection Baking or Roasting
Convection Roast
■
Good for large tender cuts of meat, uncovered.
The convection fan circulates the heated
air evenly over and around the food.
Meat and poultry are browned on all
sides as if they were cooked on a
rotisserie. The heated air seals in juices
quickly for a moist and tender product
while, at the same time, creating a rich
golden brown exterior.
When you are convection roasting,
it is important that you use a broiler pan
and grid designed for broiling for best
convection roasting results. The pan is
used to catch grease spills, and the grid
is used to prevent grease spatters while
heated air circulates under the meat to
increase browning on the underside
of the meat or poultry.
■
Place the oven rack in the position
that centers the food between the top
and bottom of the oven.
When baking cookies, you will
get the best results if you use a
flat cookie sheet instead of a
pan with low sides.
