Paper and Plastic
Before using your convection oven, check to see
if your cookware leaves room for air circulation in
the oven. If you are baking with several pans, leave
space between them. Also, be sure the pans do not
touch each other or the walls of the oven.
Heat-resistant paper and plastic containers that are

Metal and Glass
Any type of cookware will work in your convection

recommended for convection baking.
For recipes like oven-baked chicken, you should
use a pan with low sides. Hot air cannot circulate well

To make sure the meat is cooked the way you want it, we recommend
using the temperature probe provided with the oven.
The special roasting rack and broiler pan allow heated air to circulate over
and under the meat. This allows the meat to brown on all sides.

and roasts, preheating is not necessary. For ovens
without a preheat indicator light or tone, preheat 10
minutes. After the oven is preheated, place the food
in the oven as quickly as possible to prevent heat
from escaping.
Pan Placement
Baking Pans
For even cooking and proper browning, there must be
enough room for air circulation in the oven. Baking
results will be better if baking pans are centered as
much as possible rather than being placed to the front
or to the back of the oven.
Use the proper baking pan. The type of finish on the
pan determines the amount of browning that will occur.
● Dark, rough or dull pans absorb heat, resulting in a
browner, crisper crust. Use this type for pies.
●
Shiny, bright and smooth pans reflect heat, resulting
in a lighter, more delicate browning. Cakes and
cookies require this type of pan.
Pans should not touch each other or the walls of the
oven. Allow 1- to 1 X-inch space between pans as
as from the back of the oven, the door and the sides.
● Glass baking dishes also absorb heat. When baking
in glass baking dishes, the temperature may need to
