FAQs About Convection Baking
What is Convection?
Answer:
In your Countertop Oven there is a built in fan that circulates the hot air in the oven
chamber to better heat the food.
How do I adjust the time for Convection?
Answer:
On average, convection will shorten the cooking time by 30%
but it varies by food. It is suggested to go with a shorter cooking time to start with and then
add time if it is needed.
What are the best foods to use with Convection?
Answer:
While a shorter cook time is often desirable, bake goods in particular benefit from
convection cooking as the circulating air keeps oven temperature consistent throughout.
