The benefi ts of convection baking include:
• Slight decrease in cooking time
• Three rack cooking
• Higher volume (yeast items rise higher)
• More items cooked at once
For Best Results:
• Reduce recipe temperature by 25° F. Refer to the
convection baking chart for examples.
• Place food in low-sided, uncovered pans such as
cookie sheets without sides.
• Center baking pans side to side on the oven rack.
• Do not use convection bake for custards, quiches,
pumpkin pie, or cheesecakes. These items do not
benefi t from the convection-heating process. Use
standard bake instead.
The convection bake mode is well-suited for baking
large quantities of food on multiple racks. It can be
used to prepare cookies, pastries, breads, snack foods
and appetizers among other items. DO NOT use con-
vection bake for meats. Use convection roast instead.
The bake mode can be used to prepare a variety of
food items, from pastries to casseroles. It can also be
used to roast meats.
For Best Results:
• When baking on two or more racks, use convection
bake instead.
