Quick and easy recipe tips
Converting from standard BAKE to CONVECTION BAKE:
• Reduce the temperature by 25°F (15°C).
• Use the same baking time as Bake mode if under 10 to
15 minutes.
• Foods with a baking time of less than 30 minutes should
be checked for doneness 5 minutes earlier than in
standard bake recipes.
• If food is baked for more than 40 to 45 minutes, bake
time should be reduced by 25%.
Convection Roast Tips and Techniques
• Do not preheat for Convection Roast.
• Roast in a low-sided, uncovered pan.
• When roasting whole chickens or turkey, tuck wings behind
back and loosely tie legs with kitchen string.
• Use the 2-piece broil pan for roasting uncovered.
• Use the probe or a meat thermometer to determine the
internal doneness on “END” temperature.
• Double-check the internal temperature of meat or poultry by
inserting meat thermometer into another position.
• Large birds may also need to be covered with foil (and pan
roasted) during a portion of the roasting time to prevent over-
browning.
Quick and easy recipe tips
Converting from standard
BAKE
to
CONVECTION
ROAST:
• Temperature does not have to be lowered.
• Roasts, large cuts of meat and poultry generally take 10-
20% less cooking time. Check doneness early.
• Casseroles or pot roasts that are baked covered in
CONVECTION ROAST
will cook in about the same
amount of time.
• The minimum safe temperature for stuffing in poultry is 165ºF
(75ºC).
• After removing the item from the oven, cover loosely with foil
for 10 to 15 minutes before carving if necessary to increase
the final foodstuff temperature by 5° to 10°F (3° to 6° C).
Cooking times are indicative and also depend on the thickness
and the starting temperature of the meat before cooking.
Convection Broil Tips and Techniques
• Place rack in the required position needed before turning
on the oven.
• Use Convection Broil mode with the oven door closed.
• Do not preheat oven.
• Use the 2-piece broil pan.
• Turn meats once halfway through the cooking time (see
convection broil chart).
Broiling and convection broiling times are approximate and
may vary slightly.
Cooking times are indicative and also depend on the thickness
and the starting temperature of the meat before cooking.
