CONVECTION
Cooking with convection is the traditional and well known method of cooking food in a traditional oven with hot air.
The heating element and the fan are situated on the back-wall, so that the hot air is circulating.
Cookware for convection cooking:
All conventional ovenproof cookware, baking tins and sheets – anything you would normally use in a traditional
convection oven – can be used.
Food suitable for convection cooking:
All biscuits, individual scones, rolls and cakes should be made by this mode as well as rich fruit cakes, choux pastry and
soufflés.
MICRCONVECTION
This mode combines the microwave energy with the hot air and is therefore reducing the cooking time while giving the
food a brown and crispy surface.
