Convection and Combination Cooking

Helpful hints for
convection cooking
•
For best results, place food on the Convection
Rack.
•
Do not cover Turntable or Convection Rack with alu-
minum foil. It interferes with the flow of air that
cooks the food.
•
Round pizza pans are excellent cooking utensils for
many convection-only items. Choose pans that do
not have extended handles.
•
Use convection cooking for items like souffles,
breads, cookies, angel food cakes, pizza, and most
meat and fish cooking.
•
You do not need to use any special techniques to
adapt your favorite oven recipes to convection cook-
ing. However, you may need to lower some temper-
atures or reduce some cooking times from the con-
vection oven cooking directions.
•
When baking cakes, cookies, breads, rolls, or other
baked foods, most recipes call for preheating.
Preheat the empty oven just as you do a regular
oven. You can start heavier dense foods such as
meats, casseroles, and poultry without preheating.
•
All heatproof cookware or metal utensils can be
used in convection cooking.
•
Use metal utensils only for convection cooking.
Never use for microwave or combination cooking
since arcing and damage to the oven may occur.
•
After preheating, if you do not open the door, the
oven will automatically hold at the preheated tem-
perature for 30 minutes.

cooking of foods that drip grease, such as steak or
hamburger, we recommend that you place the Drip
