large pieces of meat or poultry are roasted such
as a prime rib of beefor a turkey, racklevel 4
is
thepreferredrack.
TWO RACK BAKING‐Rack levels 3 and 5 may be
used when baking on two levels. Cookies and
biscuits can be cooked properly using these two
racks.Casserole dishesmay also be bakedusing

CONVECTION
COOKINGWITHCONVECTION
There are many advantages to cooking with
convection.Intheconve ctionsystem,afaninthe
backoftheovenmovesheatedairevenlyaround
the oven. The moving air provides even heat so
foods can be placed on any rack level with
consistent results and without having to rotate
the
pa ns. Convection also enables cooking
simultaneouslyonmultipleracks.
Low, shallow bake ware should be used with
convectioncooking.This allows theheatedairto
properly move around the food. Pans with high
sidesorpansthatarecoveredarenotsuitablefor
convection cooking because high sides or lids
prohibitthewarmairfromcirculatingaroundthe
food.
Any food cooked uncovered will brown evenly
and form a nice crust. Foods in covered dishes
(casseroles, pot roast) or delicate custards are
notsuitableforconvectioncooking.
