CONVECTION COOKING TIPS FOR CONVECTION COOKING CONVECTION BAKE This section gives you cooking instructions and procedures for operating each convection function. Please read these instructions carefully. Convection cooking circulates hot air through the oven cavity with a fan. The constantly moving air surrounds the food to heat the outer portion quickly, creating even browning and sealed-in flavor by the constat motion of hot air over the food surfaces.

This cooking process also leaves meats juicy on the inside and crispy on the outside.
