Convection Bake
•Use Convection Bake for single or multiple rack baking. Reduce standard
recipe baking temperature by 25°F (15°C).
• For best results, foods should be cooked uncovered, in low-sided pans to take advantage of the
forced air circulation. Use shiny aluminum pans for best results unless otherwise specied.
• Heatproof glass or ceramic bakeware can be used. Reduce temperature by another 25°F (15°C)
when using heatproof glass dishes for a total reduction of 50°F (30°C).
• Dark metal pans may be used. Note that food may brown faster when using dark metal bake ware.
• The number of racks used is determined by the height of the food to be cooked.
• Baked items, for the most part, cook extremely well in convection. Don’t try to convert recipes such
as custards, quiches, pumpkin pie, or cheesecakes, which do not benet from the convection-
heating process. Use the regular Bake mode for these foods.
• Multiple rack cooking for oven meals is done on rack positions 1, 2, 3 , 4 and 5. All 5 positions can
be used for cookies, biscuits and appetizers.
- 2 Rack baking: Use positions 1 and 3.
- 3 rack baking: Use positions 2, 3 and 4 or 1, 3 and 5.
Note: 2 oven racks are included
• When baking four cake layers at the same time, stagger pans so that one pan is not directly above
another. For best results, place cakes on front of upper rack and back of lower rack. Allow 1" - 1½"
(2.5 - 4 cm) air space around pans.
