Mastering the Convection Steam Oven
In Convection Mode, heat doesn’t just come up
from the bottom of the oven like it does in an
ordinary oven. It circulates throughout the oven
cavity with the help of a fan in the back of the oven.
Food cooks more evenly and more quickly,
up to 25% faster than in a conventional oven.
Pie crusts and croissants get akier. Chicken
stays juicier, with “crackle” in the
skin. Vegetables and potatoes
are more quickly caramelized.
And if you’re baking using
multipleracks– say with chocolate chip
cookies– each rack gets nicely browned.
Convection is a dry cooking method. It does
not produce steam, and excess moisture given
off by the food is vented out of the appliance.
This mode works well for food you are trying
to keep dry or that would not benet from the
addition of steam. A few examples are cookies,
granola, roast chicken, beef jerky, and soufés.
