Cookware for Convection Cooking
Before using your convection oven, check
to see if your cookware leaves room for air
circulation in the oven. If you are baking
with several pans, leave space 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 use in regular ovens can be used in
convection ovens. Plastic cookware that
is heat-resistant to temperatures of
400°F. can also be used, when oven is
below 400°F.
Metal and Glass
Any type of cookware will work in your
convection oven. However, metal pans
heat the fastest and are recommended
for convection baking.
■
Darkened or matte-finished pans will bake
faster than shiny pans.
■
Glass or ceramic pans cook more slowly.
When baking cookies, you will get the
best results if you use a flat cookie sheet
instead of a pan with low sides.
For recipes like oven-baked chicken,
use a pan with low sides. Hot air cannot
circulate well around food in a pan with
high sides.

Consumer Support
Because heated air is circulated evenly
throughout the oven, foods can be
baked with excellent results using
multiple shelves.
Multi-shelf baking may increase cook
times slightly for some foods, but the
overall result is time saved. Cookies,
muffins, biscuits and other quickbreads
give very good results with multi-shelf
baking.
When baking on 3 shelves, place one
shelf in the second (B) position, one shelf
in the fourth (D) position and one shelf
in the sixth (F) position.
For two-shelf baking, place one shelf
in the second (B) shelf position. Place
the other shelf in the fourth (D) shelf
position.
