Cony Bake uses a fan and heating element 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 cooking with multiple racks• Heated air flows around the food from all sides, sealing in juices and flavors. Breads and pastry brown more evenly. Layer cakes will have better results using the Bake pad. Most foods baked in a standard oven can be cooked faster and more evenly with the convect feature• Suggestions for convection baking 1.
