•
Set Timer 1 or 2 as a reminder to check doneness of the food at
minimum time.
•
Multiple-rack cooking and baking can be done in this mode.
For example, cookies can be baked on all six racks.
•
Use low-sided, uncovered pans, such as a jelly roll pan or
cookie sheets with 1 or 2 sides.
•
Shiny aluminum pans are best, unless otherwise specified.
•
Dark finish metal pans and heatproof glass or ceramic bakeware
may require oven temperature to be reduced or the time
shortened.
•
Foods cooking in less than 15 minutes require the same time
as in bake mode.
•
Cookies may take a few minutes longer when multi-rack
convection baking. Place baking sheets directly under each
other on the oven racks to enable optimum heat circulation.
•
Foods taking 30 minutes or more to cook will have a 10 to 15
percent time savings.
•
For foods taking 30 minutes or more to cook, check doneness
3 to 7 minutes sooner than the minimum time.
•
Items such as angel food cake, popovers and soufflés will have
higher volume when baked in this mode.
