Using the convection lower oven. some modelsl GEAppliances.com
The convection oven fun shuts off when the oven door is opened. DO NOT leave the door open for long periods of time
while using convection cooking.
In a convection oven, a fan
circulates hot air over, under and
around the food. This circulating
hot air is evenly distributed
throughout the oven cavity. As a
result, foods are evenly cooked
and browned-often in less time
than with regular heat.
Tohelp you understand the difference between
convection bake and roast and traditional bake
and roast, here are some general guidelines.
