Tips for Convection Baking
• Use Convection Bake for faster and more even
multiple-rack cooking of pastries, cookies,
muffins, biscuits, and breads of all kinds.
• Bake cookies and biscuits on pans with no sides
or very low sides to allow heated air to circulate
around the food. Food baked on pans with a
dark finish will cook faster.
• When using Convection Bake, place the oven
racks in positions suggested in the charts in this
manual.
• Multiple oven rack cooking may slightly increase
cook times for some foods.
• Cakes, cookies and muffins have better results
when using multiple racks.
The Convection Roast feature is designed to give
optimum roasting performance. Convection Roast
combines cooking with the convection fan to roast
meats and poultry. The heated air circulates
around the food from all sides, sealing in juices
and flavors. Foods are crispy brown on the outside
while staying moist on the inside. Convection
roasting is especially good for large tender cuts of
meat, uncovered.
Tips for Convection Roasting
Use a broiler pan and grid when preparing meats
for convection roasting. The broiler pan catches
grease spills and the grid helps prevent grease
splatters.
1
Place the oven rack in the recommended
position.
2
Place the grid in the broiler pan.
3
Place the broiler pan on the oven rack.

CAUTION
• Do not use a broiler pan without a grid.
• Do not cover the grid with aluminum foil.
• Position food (fat side up) on the grid.
Recommended Baking and
Roasting Guide
Baking results will be better if baking pans are
centered in the oven as much as possible. If
cooking on multiple racks, place the oven racks in
the positions shown.
Multiple-rack cooking saves time and energy.
Whenever possible, cook foods requiring the same
cooking temperature together in one oven.
