Convection roasting
Convection roasting is good for cooking large tender cuts of meat, uncovered.
Heat comes from the top heating element. The convection fan circulates the heated
air evenly over and around the food. Meat and poultry are browned on all sides as
if they were cooked on a rotisserie. The heated air seals in juices quickly for moist
and tender results while, at the same time, creating a rich golden brown exterior.

Broiling
Broiling is a method of cooking tender cuts of meat by direct heat under the broil
element of the oven.
The high heat cooks quickly and gives a rich, brown outer appearance. Broil mode
is best for meats, fish, and poultry up to 1" thick.
Always preheat the oven for 4 minutes before broiling.
