Convection Baking of
Frozen Convenience Foods
• Preheating the oven is not necessary.
• Follow package recommendations for oven temperature, foil covering and
use of cookie sheets. Baking times will be similar. See chart below for
some exceptions and examples.
• Center foods in the oven. If more than one food item is being baked, or if
foods are being baked on multiple racks, stagger foods for proper air
circulation.
• Most foods are baked on rack position #3.
• For multiple rack baking, use racks #1, 3, 5. However, pizzas should be
placed on cookie sheets and baked on rack positions #2, 3, and 4.
