Convection Cooking
Convection cooking uses a fan to circulate the oven's heat uniformly and
continuously within the oven. This improved heat distribution allows for fast,
even cooking and browning results. It also gives better baking results when
using two racks at the same time.
Heated air flows around the food from all sides, sealing injuices and flavors.
Meats and poultry cooked with Convection cooking are crispy brown on the
outside while staying moist and tender on the inside. Breads and pastries
brown more evenly. Most foods baked in a standard oven can be cooked faster
and more evenly with Convection cooking. Also, using two oven racks gives
better results and saves time.
