Cookware For Convection Cooking - GE P2S975 Manual Del Propietário

When baking cookies, you will
get the best results if you use a
flat cookie sheet instead of a
pan with low sides.
Convection Roast
■
Good for large tender cuts of meat, uncovered.
The convection fan circulates the heated
air evenly over and around the food.
Meat and poultry are browned on all
sides as if they were cooked on a
rotisserie. The heated air seals in juices
quickly for a moist and tender product
while, at the same time, creating a rich
golden brown exterior.

Cookware for Convection Cooking

Before using your convection oven,
check to see if your cookware leaves
room for air circulation in the oven.
If you are baking with several pans, leave
space between them. Also, be sure the
pans do not touch each other or the
walls of the oven.
Paper and Plastic
Heat-resistant paper and plastic
containers that are recommended for
use in regular baking can also be used
for convection baking, but should not
be used at temperatures higher than
the temperature recommended by the
cookware manufacturer. Plastic cookware
that is heat-resistant to temperatures of
400°F (204°C) can also be used.
How to Set the Oven for Convection Baking or Roasting
Touch the CONVECTION BAKE
MULTI/1 RACK pad once
(CONVECTION BAKE MULTI mode)
for multi-rack convection baking.
This mode is used for cooking food
items on more than one rack (i.e., 2,
3 or more racks) at the same time in
convection bake. See Multi-Rack
Baking section for more information.
Touch the CONVECTION BAKE MULTI/
1 RACK pad twice (CONVECTION BAKE 1
RACK/1 GRILLE mode) for one rack
convection baking. This mode is used
for cooking food items on only one
rack in convection bake.
Touch the CONVECTION ROAST pad
for convection roasting.
Touch the number pads to set the
desired oven temperature.
NOTE: When convection baking, the oven temperature will be 25°F (14°C) lower than
the set temperature. See Auto Recipe
information. When convection roasting, oven temperature will not auto convert.
When you are convection roasting, it is
important that you use a broiler pan and
grid designed for broiling for best
convection roasting results. The pan is
used to catch grease spills, and the grid is
used to prevent grease spatters while
heated air circulates under the meat to
increase browning on the underside of
the meat or poultry.
■
Place the oven rack in the position
that centers the food between the top
and bottom of the oven.
Metal and Glass
Any type of cookware will work in your
convection oven. However, metal pans
heat the fastest and are recommended
for convection baking.
■
Darkened or matte-finished pans will bake
faster than shiny pans.
■
Glass or ceramic pans cook more slowly.
For recipes like oven-baked chicken,
use a pan with low sides. Hot air cannot
circulate well around food in a pan with
high sides.
Touch the START pad.
To change the oven temperature, touch
the CONVECTION BAKE MULTI/1 RACK or
CONVECTION ROAST pad and then the
number pads to set the new temperature.
When the oven starts to heat, the
changing temperature, starting at 100°F
(38°C), will be displayed. When oven
reaches the temperature you set, 3 beeps
will sound.
Touch CLEAR/OFF pad when
finished.
■
You will hear a fan while cooking with
convection. The fan will stop when the door is
opened, but the heat will not turn off.
■
You may hear the oven clicking during
baking. This is normal.
