Cookware for Convection Cooking
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.
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.
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.
For recipes like oven-baked chicken,
use a pan with low sides. Hot air cannot
circulate well around food in a pan with
high sides.
How to Set the Oven for Convection Baking or Roasting
Convection Roast
■
Good for large tender cuts of meat, uncovered.
The convection fan circulates the heated
air evenly over and around the food.
Meat and poultry are browned on all
sides as if they were cooked on a
rotisserie. Using the roasting rack
provided, heated air will be circulated
over, under and around the food being
roasted. The heated air seals in juices
quickly for a moist and tender product
while, at the same time, creating a rich
golden brown exterior.
When you are convection roasting it is
important that you use the broiler pan
and grid and the special roasting rack for
best convection roasting results. The pan
is used to catch grease spills and the grid
is used to prevent grease spatters, while
the rack allows the heated air to circulate
under the meat and increase browning
on the underside of the meat or poultry.
■
Place the rack (on 27
″ models, use
the offset rack) in the lowest rack
position (A).
■
Place the grid on the broiler pan
and put the roasting rack over them,
making sure the posts on the roasting
rack fit into the holes in broiler pan.
■
Place the meat on the roasting rack.
CAUTION: When you are using the offset rack
(on 27
″models) in the lowest position (A), you
will need to use caution when pulling the rack
out. We recommend that you pull the rack out
several inches and then, using two pot holders,
pull the rack out by holding the sides of it. The
offset rack is low and you could be burned if you
place your hand in the middle of the rack and pull
all the way out. Be very careful not to burn your
hand on the door when using a rack in the lowest
position (A).

When baking cookies, you will
get the best results if you use a
flat cookie sheet instead of a
pan with low sides.
