cooking of food.
Convection Cooking
During convection cooking, a heating element is used to raise the temperature of the air inside the oven.
Any oven temperature from 225°F to 450°F may be programmed. A fan gently circulates this heated
air throughout the oven, over and around the food, producing golden brown exteriors and rich moist
interiors.
Because the heated air is kept constantly moving, not permitting a layer of cooler air to develop around
the food; some foods cook faster than in regular oven cooking.
