Convection Bake Tips And Techniques - Panasonic HL-BD82S Manual Del Funcionamiento

Reduce recipe baking temperatures 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 specified.
•
Heatproof glass or ceramic 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 benefit 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 five racks 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.
•
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 (See graphic at right). Allow 1" - 1-1/2"
(2.5 - 3 cm) air space around pans.
•
Converting your own recipe can be easy. Choose
a recipe that will work well in convection.
•
Reduce the temperature and cooking time if
necessary. It may take some trial and error to
achieve a perfect result. Keep track of your
technique for the next time you want to prepare
the recipe using convection.

Quick and easy recipe tips
Converting from standard BAKE
to CONVECTION BAKE:
•
Reduce the temperature by 25 °F (15 °C).
•
Use the same baking time as Bake mode if
under 10 to 15 minutes.
•
Foods with a baking time of less than 30
minutes should be checked for doneness 5
minutes earlier than in standard bake recipes.
•
If food is baked for more than 40 to 45
minutes, bake time should be reduced by 25%.
