Cookware for Convection Cooking
Before usingyour convection oven,check
to see ifyour cookware leavesroom for air
circulation in the oven. Ifyou are baking with
several pans, leavespace between them. Also,
be sure the pans do not touch each other or
the walls of the oven.
Paper and Plastic
Heat-resistant paper and plastic containers
that are recommended for usein regular
ovens can be usedin convection ovens.Plastic
cookware that is heat-resistant to temperatures
of 400°Fcan also be used,when oven is below
400°F.
Metal and Glass
Any type of cookware willwork in your
convection oven. However, metal pans heat the
fastest and are recommended for convection
baking.
Darkenedor matte-finished pans will bake
faster than shiny pans.
Glassor ceramic pans cook more slowly.
When baking cookies,you will get the best
resultsif you usea flat cookie sheet instead of a
pan with low sides.
Forrecipes likeoven-baked chicken, use a pan
with low sides. Hot air cannot circulate well
around food in a pan with high sides.
