SETTING OVEN CONTROLS Slow Cook Convection Roast Use Slow Cook for foods that will cook or braise at low temperature for a long period of time. Convection roast combines a cook cycle with the convection fan and elements to rapidly roast meats and poultry. Heated air circulates around the meat from all sides, sealing in juices and flavors. Meats cooked with this feature are crispy and brown on the outside while staying moist inside.
SETTING OVEN CONTROLS 35 Convection Roasting tips: • Preheating for convection roast is not necessary for most meats and poultry. • Arrange oven racks so meat and poultry are on the lowest rack of the oven. • Since convection roast cooks faster, may be able to reduce cook times as much as 25% from the recommended time of your recipe (check the food at this time). Then if needed, increase cook time until the desired doneness is obtained.
SETTING OVEN CONTROLS Cooking with Steam Steam Bake Note: More moisture will be present than during conventional baking or roasting. Moisture could condense on the handle or in the door, and depending on the conditions in your kitchen possibly drip onto the floor. Steam creates the best conditions for baking bread on a single rack. Baked goods will have improved browning and texture and is recommended for baking moist and flavorful breads and pastries such as baguettes and croissants.
