COOKINGWITHCONVECTION
There are many advantages to cooking with
convection.Intheconvectionsystem,afaninthe

the oven. The moving air provides even heat so
foods can be placed on any rack level with
consistent re sults and without having to rotate
the
pans. Convection also enables cooking
simultaneouslyonmultipleracks.
Low, shallow bake ware should be used with
convectioncooking.Thisallowstheheatedairto
properly move around the food. Pans with high

convection cooking because high sides or lids
prohibitthewarmairfromcirculatingaroundthe
