Good for large quantities of baked foods. Good results with cookies, biscuits, brownies,cupcakes, cream puffs, sweet rolls, angel foodcake and bread.Heat comes from the heating element inthe rear of the oven. The convection fancirculates the heated air evenly over andaround the food. Preheating is notnecessary with foods having a bake timeof over 15 minutes.Convection Roast Good for large tender cuts of meat, uncovered.Heat comes from the top heatingelement. The convection fan circulatesthe heated air evenly over and aroundthe food. Meat and poultry are brownedon all sides as if they were cooked on arotisserie. The heated air seals in juicesquickly for a moist and tender productwhile, at the same time, creating a richgolden brown exterior.When you are convection roasting, it isimportant that you use a broiler pan andgrid designed for broiling for bestconvection roasting results.
