Convection Roast 2
Convection Roast uses heat from the top and bottom
elements as well as heat circulated by the convection
fan.
The Convection Roast mode is well suited for preparing
tender cuts of meat and poultry.
The benefits of Convection Roast mode include:
▯ As much as 25% faster cooking than non-convection
modes.
▯ Rich, golden browning.
Tips
▯ Use the same temperature as indicated in the recipe.
▯ Check doneness early, since roasting time may
decrease.
▯ Do not cover meat or use cooking bags.
▯ Use the broil pan and grid provided with the oven for
roasting. A shallow, uncovered pan can also be used.
▯ Use a meat thermometer to determine the internal
temperature of the meat.
▯ If the meat is browned to your liking, but is not yet
done, a small strip of foil can be placed over the meat
to prevent over-browning.
▯ Let meat stand covered with foil 10-15 minutes after
removing it from the oven.
▯ See charts for recommended rack positions.
Broil/Max Broil #
Broil uses intense heat radiated from the upper element.
Max Broil uses a larger broil element which allows you to
broil more food at one time. See “Max Cook” in “Basic
Features” for more information.
The Broil mode is best suited for cooking thin, tender
cuts of meat (1“ or less), poultry and fish. It can also be
used to brown breads and casseroles. Always broil with
the door closed.
To use the broil pan and grid:
▯ For normal Broil: food should be placed in the center
of the broil pan and grid.
▯ For Max Broil: food should be spread out over the
entire broil pan and grid.
The benefits of broiling include:
▯ Fast and efficient cooking.
▯ Cooking without the addition of fats or liquids.
Tips
▯ Preheat oven 3-4 minutes. Do not preheat for more
than 5 minutes.
▯ Steaks and chops should be at least 3/4” thick.
▯ Brush fish and poultry with butter or oil to prevent
sticking.
▯ Use the broil pan and grid provided with the oven.
▯ Do not cover the broil grid with foil. It is designed to
drain fats and oils away from the cooking surface to
prevent smoking and spattering.
▯ Turn meats once during the recommended cook time.
▯ When top browning casseroles, use only metal or
glass ceramic dishes such as Comingware®.
Convection Broil/Max Convection Broil 1
Convection Broil is similar to Broil. It combines intense
heat from the upper element with heat circulated by a
convection fan.
Max Convection Broil uses a larger broil element which
allows you to broil more food at one time.
Convection Broil mode is well suited for cooking thick,
tender cuts of meat, poultry and fish. Convection Broil is
not recommended for browning breads, casseroles and
other foods. Always use Convection Broil with the door
closed.
In addition to the benefits of standard broiling,
convection broiling is faster.
To use the broil pan:
▯ For normal Convection Broil: food should be placed in
the center of the broil pan and grid.
▯ For Max Convection Broil: food should be spread out
over the entire broil pan and grid.
Tips
▯ Preheat oven 3-4 minutes. Do not preheat for more
than 5 minutes.
▯ Steaks and Chops should be at least 1^“ thick.
▯ Use the broil pan and grid included with your oven.
▯ Do not cover the broil grid with foil. It is designed to
drain fats and oils away from the cooking surface to
prevent smoking and spattering.
▯ Turn meats once during the recommended cook time.
Speed Convection ‹
Speed Convection uses all heating elements as well as
the convection fan to evenly distribute heat throughout
the oven cavity. The main difference between Speed
Convection and other convection modes is that it does
not require preheating.
Speed Convection is well suited for frozen convenience
foods such as fish sticks and chicken nuggets.
The benefits of Speed Convection include:
▯ Decrease in cook time since preheating is not
necessary.
▯ Crispy and evenly browned frozen foods.
Tips
▯ Begin cooking all frozen convenience products in a
cold, non-preheated oven. The food will still be done in
package time.
▯ Follow the package instructions for time and
temperature.
▯ Flipping of food halfway through recommended cook
time is not necessary.
▯ Frozen foods that are sold in microwaveable plastic
containers should not be used in this mode.
▯ Cook food items on rack position 3 unless directed
otherwise by the product manufacturer.
▯ Evenly space food items on pan.
▯ For double cavity appliances, only one cavity is
available when using Speed Convection.
