Convection Bake 2 Convection Bake is similar to Bake. Heat comes from the upper and lower heating elements. The main difference in convection baking is that the heat is circulated throughout the appliance by the convection fan. The Convection Bake mode is well suited for cakes, bar cookies and breads to take advantage of the bottom heat, yielding a better crust on baked items. The benefits of Convection Bake include: ▯ Slight decrease in cook time. ▯ Higher volume (yeast items rise higher). Tips ▯ Reduce recipe temperature by 25°F. Refer to the cooking chart at end of this manual. ▯ Place food in shallow, uncovered pans, such as cookie sheets without sides. ▯ If baking more than one pan on a rack, allow at least 1-1^" of air space around the pan. ▯ For cakes use rack positions 2 and 5. Stagger pans so that one is not directly above the other (see following graphic). Convection Multi-Rack: Convection Multi-Rack cooks with heat from a third element behind the back wall of the oven. The heat is circulated throughout the oven by the convection fan. The Convection Multi-Rack is well suited for cooking individual serving-sized foods such as cookies and biscuits. It is also good for cooking on multiple racks (2 or 3) at the same time. Baking cookies is possible on 6 racks simultaneously. In this case, the baking time increases slightly. The benefits of Convection Multi-Rack include: ▯ Even browning. ▯ Time savings as a result of using multiple racks at one time. Tips ▯ Reduce recipe temperature by 25°F if Auto Convection Conversion is not activated. ▯ Place food in low-sided, uncovered pans such as cookie sheets without sides. ▯ If baking more than one pan on a rack, allow at least 1" to 1^" of air space around the pan. Stagger pans so that one is not directly above the other. Pizza 2 In the Pizza mode, heat from the upper and lower elements is circulated throughout the oven by the convection fan. Use the Pizza mode for fresh or frozen pizza. Tips ▯ There might be a slight decrease in baking time. Check before minimum package time. ▯ When baking a frozen pizza: For a crispy crust, place directly on the rack. For a softer crust, use a pizza pan. ▯ When proofing pizza dough, coat dough with olive oil and cover it in a bowl tightly with plastic wrap to prevent crust formation. ▯ Sprinkle cornmeal on the pizza pan to prevent sticking. ▯ If using a pizza paddle, sprinkle the paddle liberally with cornmeal for ease in transferring the dough to the pan. ▯ If par baking handmade pizza dough, prick the dough with a fork before baking. ▯ If using a pizza pan, choose a dark, perforated pan for a more crisp crust and a non-perforated pan for a softer crust. ▯ Preheat baking stones following manufacturer's recommendations while the oven is preheating. ▯ Bake homemade pizzas on rack position 2 in the center of the rack. ▯ Follow manufacturer's directions for frozen pizza. ▯ The convection fan cycles on and off when using pizza mode. Roast % Roast uses both the upper and lower elements to maintain the oven temperature. Roasting uses more intense heat from the upper element than the lower element. This results in more browning of the exterior while the inside remains especially moist. Roast is best suited for large cuts of meat and poultry. Tips ▯ Preheating the oven is not necessary. ▯ Use a high-sided broil pan or roasting pan. Cover dish with a lid or foil for less tender cuts of meat. 24
