CONVECTION COOKING

The convection mode uses dry heat to cook and brown
foods. A highspeed fan circulates hot air inside the oven to
heat food quickly and evenly. Convection cooking is ideal for
foods that require browning or crisping coupled with a short
cooking time.
When cooking with the convection feature, use the wire rack
to elevate food so that air can circulate completely around
the dish. To cook with the convection oven,
• Place wire rack in oven.
• See Convection Baking Guide on page 18.
CONVECTION COOKING TIPS.
• Follow package directions for setting the cooking tem-
perature.
• If using dark baking pans, you may prefer to set the oven
temperature 25°F lower than the temperature recom-
mended on package directions
• Set cooking time for the minimum cooking time on the
package.
• Check food a few minutes BEFORE the minimum cook-
ing time, especially if dark cookwave is being used.
Foods may cook faster using the convection feature.
