CONVECTION BAKE
Benefits of Convection Bake
y
Some foods cook up to 25 to 30% faster, saving
time and energy.
y
Even cooking results during multiple rack baking.
y
No special pans or bakeware needed.
Convection baking uses a fan to circulate the oven’s heat
evenly and continuously within the oven. This improved
heat distribution allows for even cooking and excellent
results using multiple racks at the same time. Foods
cooked on a single oven rack will generally cook faster
and more evenly with Convection Bake. Multiple oven
rack cooking may slightly increase cook times for some
foods, but the overall result is time saved. Breads and
pastries brown more evenly.
Tips for Convection Baking
y
Time saved will vary depending on the amount and
type of food to be cooked. Cookies and biscuits should
be baked on pans with no sides or very low sides to
allow heated air to circulate around the food. Food
baked on pans with a dark finish will cook faster.
y
When using Convection Bake with a single rack, place
the oven rack in position C. If cooking on multiple
racks, place the oven racks in positions B and D.
y
Cookies, muffins, biscuits and other quickbreads give
very good results when using multiple racks.
The heating elements and a fan turn off immediately
when the door is opened. They turn on again
approximately 1 seconds after the door is closed.
