COOKING RECOMMENDATIONS
Material
Recommendation
Broiling / Roasting
Broiling pan
For best results when broiling, use a broil pan with an insert designed to drain
the fat from the food, help avoid spatter, and reduce smoking. The broiler pan will
catch grease spills, and the insert helps prevent grease splatters.
Convection Cooking
Convection attri-
butes
Convection cooking uses a fan to circulate hot air around the oven and food. It
browns food more evenly and reduces hot spots in the oven.
Convection saves time when using multiple racks or cooking several food items at
once.
Convection bake
Reduce cooking temperature by 25° F (13-14° C) from the recipe unless the recipe
is written for convection baking.
Preheat the oven for best results.
Convection roast
Convection roast is best for meats and does not require preheating for most
meats and poultry.
Reducing the cooking temperature for convection roast is not recommended.
Carefully follow your recipe’s temperature and time recommendations, adjusting
the cooking time if the recipe does not specify convection roasting time.
Since convection roast cooks faster, cook time may be reduced by 25% to 40%
depending on food type. You can reduce cook times by 25% from the recom-
mended time of your recipe, and check the food at this time. If needed, continue
cooking until the desired doneness is obtained.
Use the meat probe included with your appliance. Meat probes are also available
from most grocery and home goods stores.
Arrange oven racks so large cuts of meat and poultry are on the lowest rack of
the oven.
Do not cover foods when dry roasting - covering will prevent the meat from
browning properly.
When cooking meats, use the broiler pan and insert or a roasting rack. The broiler
pan will catch grease spills and the insert helps prevent grease splatters.
