Convection Cooking Tips (only on main oven)

Convection cooking is a cooking technique which utilizes fan-forced air to

circulate throughout the entire oven cavity creating the optimum cooking

environment. Cooking with convection is intended when performing multi-rack

baking and for heavier foods. Below are some tips which will allow you to get the

best results out of your oven when cooking with convection.

•As a general rule, to convert conventional recipes to convection recipes, reduce

the temperature by 25°F (10°C) when using a convection cooking function.

•Cooking times for standard baking and convection baking will be the same.

However, if using convection to cook a single item or smaller load, then it is

possible to have 10-15% reduction in cooking time. (Remember convection

cooking is designed for multi-rack baking or cooking large loads.)

•If cooking items which require longer than 45 minutes, then it is possible to see a

10-15% reduction in cooking time.

•A major benet of convection cooking is the ability to prepare foods in quantity.

The uniform air circulation makes this possible. Foods that can be prepared on

two or three racks at the same time include: pizza, cakes, cookies, biscuits, mufns,

rolls, and frozen convenience foods.

•For three-rack baking, use any combination of rack positions 2, 3, 4,and 5. For

two-rack baking, use rack positions 2 and 4 or positions 3 and 5. Remember that

the racks are numbered from bottom to top.

Pan Placement Tips

•When using large (15”x 13”) at pans or trays that cover most of the rack, rack

positions 2 or 3 produce the best results.

•When baking on more than one rack, it is recommended to use the 3rd and 5th

position for more consistent even baking.

•Stagger pans in opposite directions when two racks and several pans are used in

conventional bake. If possible, no pan should be directly above another.

•Allow 1 to 2 inches of air space around all sides of each pan for even air circulation.
