• Dark metal pans may be used. Note that food may brown faster when

using dark metal bakeware.

• The number of racks used is determined by the height of the food to be

cooked.

• Baked items, for the most part, cook extremely well in convection. Don’t

try to convert recipes such as custards, quiches, pumpkin pie, or

cheesecakes, which do not benefit from the convection-heating process.

Use the regular Bake mode for these foods.

• Multiple rack cooking for oven

meals is mostly done on rack

positions 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. All six

racks can be used for cookies,

biscuits and appetizers.

- 2 Rack baking: Use positions 2

and 4.

- 3 rack baking: Use positions 2,

4 and 6 or 1, 3 and 5.

- When baking four cake layers

at the same time, stagger

pans so that one pan is not

directly above another. For

best results, place cakes on

front of upper rack and back

of lower rack (See graphic at

right). Allow 1" - 1 ½" (2.5 – 3

cm) air space around pans.

• Converting your own recipe can be easy. Choose a recipe that will work

well in convection.

• Reduce the temperature and cooking time if necessary. It may take some

trial and error to achieve a perfect result. Keep track of your technique for

the next time you want to prepare the recipe using convection.
