Convection baking
Advantium Oven
Convection
Baking Convection baking allows you to cook foods
the same way as a conventional oven, using an
element to heat the air inside the oven. Any oven
temperature from 250°F to 450°F may be set.
A fan gently circulates heated air throughout the
oven, over and around the food. Because the
heated air is kept constantly moving, some foods
cook slightly faster than in regular oven cooking.
Before you begin, make sure the metal rack is
in place. Both racks may be used for two level
cooking.
Put food directly on the metal tray or in the
appropriate dish and place on wire oven rack
when baking or warming.

When baking, remember that the oven, door and
dishes will be very hot!
Per USDA Guidelines, cook meat to an INTERNAL
temperature of at least 160°F, and poultry to an
INTERNAL temperature of at least 180°F. Cooking to
these temperatures usually protects against foodborne
illness. For more information, see www.foodsafety.gov.

Cooking Tips
for Convection
Baking
Metal pans are recommended
for all types of baked products,
but especially where browning is
important.
Dark or dull finish metal pans are
best for breads and pies because
they absorb heat and produce
crisper crust.
Shiny aluminum pans are better
for cakes, cookies or muffins
because they reflect heat and help
produce a light tender crust.
Glass or glass-ceramic casserole
or baking dishes are best suited
for egg and cheese recipes due to
the cleanability of glass.
When baking on one level, use the
lower level. The top clips are to
only be used in two level baking.
