COOKING RECOMMENDATIONS Cooking Food placement Broiling pan Convection attributes Convection bake Convection roast Tips Allow at least 2 inches (5 cm) of space between bakeware for proper air circulation. Broiling / Roasting For best results when broiling, use a broil pan with a broil pan insert designed to drain the fat from the food, help avoid spatter, and reduce smoking. The broiler pan will catch grease spills, and the insert helps prevent grease splatters. If a broiler pan and insert are not supplied with this appliance, they may be purchased from Frigidaire.com. Convection Cooking Convection cooking uses a fan to circulate hot air around the oven and food. It browns food more evenly and reduces hot spots in the oven. Convection saves time when using multiple racks or cooking several food items at once. Reduce cooking temperature by 25° F (13-14° C) from the recipe unless the recipe is written for convection baking. Preheat the oven for best results. Convection roast is best for meats and does not require preheating for most meats and poultry. Reducing the cooking temperature for convection roast is not recommended. Carefully follow your recipe's temperature and time recommendations, adjusting the cooking time if the recipe does not specify convection roasting time. Since convection roast cooks faster, cook time may be reduced by 25% to 40% depending on food type. You can reduce cook times by 25% from the recommended time of your recipe, and check the food at this time. If needed, continue cooking until the desired doneness is obtained. Use a meat probe if available with your appliance. Meat probes are also available from most grocery and home goods stores. Arrange oven racks so large cuts of meat and poultry are on the lowest rack of the oven. Do not cover foods when dry roasting - covering will prevent the meat from browning properly. When cooking meats, use the broiler pan and insert or a roasting rack. The broiler pan will catch grease spills and the insert helps prevent grease splatters. If you do not have one of these accessories, they may be purchased from Frigidaire.com. 14

COOKING RECOMMENDATIONS

Food placement

Allow at least 2 inches (5 cm) of space between bakeware for proper air circulation.

Broiling / Roasting

Broiling pan

For best results when broiling, use a broil pan with a broil pan insert designed to drain the fat from

the food, help avoid spatter, and reduce smoking. The broiler pan will catch grease spills, and the

insert helps prevent grease splatters.

If a broiler pan and insert are not supplied with this appliance, they may be purchased from Frigid-

aire.com.
