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.
■
Place a rack in the lowest rack position (A).
How to Set the Oven for Convection Baking or Roasting
Touch the
CONVECTION BAKE
pad once
for multi-rack convection baking. This
mode is used for cooking food items on
more than one rack (i.e., 2, 3 or more
racks) at the same time in convection
bake. See the
Multi-Rack Convection
Baking
section for more information.
Touch the
CONVECTION BAKE
pad twice
for one rack convection baking. This
mode is used for cooking food items on
only one rack in convection bake.
Touch the
CONVECTION ROAST
pad for
convection roasting.
Touch the number pads to set the oven
temperature.
Touch the
START
pad.
NOTE:
If the Auto Recipe
™
Conversion Feature
is on, it will automatically reduce the set regular
baking temperature by 14°C (25°F) to the appropriate
convection temperature. See Auto Recipe
™
Conversion
in the Special Features section.
To change the oven temperature, touch the
CONVECTION BAKE
or
CONVECTION ROAST
pad
and then the number pads to set the new
temperature.
When the oven starts to heat, the changing
temperature, starting at 37.8°C (100°F),
will be displayed. When oven reaches the
temperature you set, 3 beeps will sound.
Touch
OFF
pad when finished.
■
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.
■
In convection bake modes, for maximum cooking
evenness, the fan is designed to rotate in both
directions, with a pause in between.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 204°C (400°F) 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.
