Convection baking Advantium Oven Convection Baking Convection baking allows you to cook foods the same way as a conventional oven, using an element to heat the air inside the oven. Any oven temperature from 250°F to 450°F may be set. A fan gently circulates heated air throughout the oven, over and around the food. Because the heated air is kept constantly moving, some foods cook slightly faster than in regular oven cooking. Before you begin, make sure the metal rack is in place. Both racks may be used for two level cooking. Put food directly on the metal tray or in the appropriate dish and place on wire oven rack when baking or warming. CAUTION: Burn Risk When baking, remember that the oven, door and dishes will be very hot! Per USDA Guidelines, cook meat to an INTERNAL temperature of at least 160°F, and poultry to an INTERNAL temperature of at least 180°F. Cooking to these temperatures usually protects against foodborne illness. For more information, see www.foodsafety.gov. How to Convection Bake 1. Press CONV BAKE pad. 2.

Cooking Tips for Convection Baking 20 n Metal pans are recommended for all types of baked products, but especially where browning is important. n Dark or dull finish metal pans are best for breads and pies because they absorb heat and produce crisper crust. n Shiny aluminum pans are better for cakes, cookies or muffins because they reflect heat and help produce a light tender crust. n Glass or glass-ceramic casserole or baking dishes are best suited for egg and cheese recipes due to the cleanability of glass. n When baking on one level, use the lower level. The top clips are to only be used in two level baking.
