CONVECTION BAKE
•
Use Convection Bake for single or multiple rack baking. Reduce standard
recipe baking temperature by 25°F (15°C).
•
For best results, foods should be cooked uncovered, in low-sided pans to take
advantage of the forced air circulation. Use shiny aluminum pans for best
results unless otherwise specified.
•
Heatproof glass or ceramic can be used. Reduce temperature by another 25°F
(15°C) when using heatproof glass dishes for a total reduction of 50°F (30°C).
•
Dark metal pans may be used. Note that food may brown faster when using
dark metal bake ware.
•
The number of racks used is determined by the height of the food to be cooked.
•
Baked items, for the most part, cook extremely well in convection. Don’t try
to convert recipes such as custards, quiches, pumpkin pie, or cheesecakes,
which do not benefit from the convection-heating process. Use the regular
Bake mode for these foods.
•
Multiple rack cooking for oven meals is
done on rack positions 1, 2, 3 , 4 and
5. All five positions can be used for
cookies, biscuits and appetizers.
- 2 Rack baking: Use positions 1 and 3.
- 3 rack baking: Use positions 2, 3 and 4 or
1, 3 and 5.

•
When baking four cake layers at the
same time, stagger pans so that one
pan is not directly above another. For
best results, place cakes on front of
upper rack and back of lower rack.
Allow 1" - 1½" (2.5 - 4cm) air space
around pans.
