Convection Roast
(on some models)
Convection roasting can be used for roasting meats and poultry,
or for baking yeast breads and loaf cakes using a single rack.
During convection roasting, the bake and broil elements will cycle
on and off in intervals to maintain oven temperature, while the fan
constantly circulates the hot air.
If the oven door is opened during convection roasting, the broil
element and fan will turn off immediately and the bake element
will turn off in 2 minutes. They will come back on once the door is
closed.
Reduce recipe temperature 25°F (14°C). The cook time may
need to be reduced also.
To Convection Roast:
Before convection roasting,
position racks according to the
Positioning Racks and Bakeware section. It is not necessary to
wait for the oven to preheat before putting food in, unless
recommended in the recipe.
Use the roasting rack on top of the broiler pan and grid. This holds
the food above the grid and allows air to circulate completely
around all surfaces.
