Convection
cookware
Before using your convection oven, check to
see if your cookware leaves room for air
circulation in the oven. If you are baking with
several pans, leave space between them. Also,
be sure the pans do not touch each other or
the walls of the oven. Use the pan size
recommended in the recipe.
When baking cookies, you will get the best
results if you use a flat cookie sheet instead
of a pan with low sides.
For recipes like oven-baked chicken, you
should use a pan with low sides. Hot air
cannot circulate well around food in a pan
with high sides.
Metal and Glass
Any type of cookware will work in your
convection oven. However, metal pans heat
the fastest and are recommended for
convection baking.
• Darkened or matte-finished pans will bake
faster than shiny pans.
• Glass or ceramic pans cook more slowly.
Paper and Plastic
Heat-resistant paper and plastic containers that
are recommended for use in regular ovens can
be used in convection ovens. Plastic cookware
that is heat-resistant to temperatures of 400°F.
can also be used.
