CONVECTION COOKING GUIDE
1. Always use the convection rack when convection baking. Place food directly on rack or place in metal tray and then
place tray on rack.
2. Aluminum pans conduct heat quickly. For most convection baking, light, shiny finishes give best results because they
prevent overbrowning in the time it takes to cook the center areas. Pans with dull (satin-finish) bottoms are
recommended for cake pans and pie pans for best bottom browning.
3. Dark or non-shiny finishes, glass, and pyroceram absorb heat which may result in dry, crisp crusts.
4. Preheating the oven is recommended when baking foods by convection excluding meats, casseroles and poultry.
5. To prevent uneven heating and save energy, open the oven door to check food as little as possible.
NOTES:
• The oven temperature indicated in the chart above is recommended over the package instruction temperature.
• The baking times in the chart above are only guidelines for your reference. You need to adjust time according to the
food condition or your preference. Check doneness at the minimum time and then adjust time by touching the More or
Less pad.
