As a guide, set oven temperatures 25 to 50 degrees lower than called for in recipes using conventional (non-convection)
ovens.

FROZEN ENTREE PRODUCTS: Punch holes in lid before heating. Tent lid if product has a tendency to stick, i.e.,
lasagna or macaroni and cheese. Use manufacturer’s convection oven directions for time and temperature or reduce
conventional oven temperature 50 degrees for a 6-1/2 size pan load. Some products may cook in 10 to 15 minutes less
time than recommended for convection ovens if prepared from frozen in a 6 pan load.

Time and temperatures will vary depending upon load, mix, size of portion, and other factors. Use the following chart to
develop your own cooking techniques:
