How Convecton works
Convection uses a fan to circulate the oven's heat
uniformly and continuously around the oven. This improved
heat distribution allows for fast, even cooking and browning
results. It also gives better baking results when using two
racks at the same time.
uniformly and continuously around the oven. This improved
heat distribution allows for fast, even cooking and browning
results. It also gives better baking results when using two
racks at the same time.
Heated air flows around the food from all sides, sealing in
juices and flavors. Meats cooked with convection are
juicier. Poultry is crisp on the outside while staying tender
and moist on the inside. Breads and pastries brown more
evenly. Most foods baked in a standard oven can be
cooked faster and more evenly with Convection.

Convection is similar to Bake. Heat

heating elements. The main
difference in convection baking is that
the heat is circulated throughout the
oven by the convection fan.
