Convection Ovens

Convection ovens, also known as fan ovens and fan-assisted ovens, are ovens in which heat is assisted by fans to force the movement of hot air. This allows food to be cooked at lower temperatures and quicker than standard ovens. The air circulation also makes sure there are no "hot spots" during baking, ensuring food bakes evenly. Although convection ovens are a modern invention, the process of circulating hot air to help cook food has been used for centuries by fanning the heat manually.

How much time does convection oven save?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

A convection microwave oven cuts the time it takes to bring your meals to the table. It does everything you expect from a regular oven, but it does it better and faster. The convection oven uses a blower to move the heat inside the compartment. This allows the food to cook 20% to 25% faster. Because the heat moves throughout the oven, you don�t have to cook your meal in stages. You can fill every rack in your oven and each dish will receive the same amount of heat. It also saves money because you reduce your cooking time.

Asked by Wiki User

the convection oven is the same as an ordinary oven except it is fan forced like some ordinary ovens. you need to reduce the suggested temp by 10 or 20 degrees depending on the available preset degrees. the fan force makes the oven cook evenly throughout but there could still be a a little variation.

hope that helps

Asked by Wiki User

Convection baking is baking using heated air that is blown around the food. Regular baking is placing a food inside a box over the heat. Convection baking will dry the surface of the food more, giving it a crisp/crusty texture.

If you arrived here via a search engine, don't miss the full article on Rock Cornish Game Hens. You can adapt your favorite whole chicken recipe for use with game hens with little fuss. If you are using stuffing, plan on one cup per game hen. Do not stuff them until just before you put them in the oven to avoid any potential for salmonellosis. The recipes below do specify game hens, but feel free to also adjust them for use with standard whole chickens.

Do gas convection oven bake as well as electric convection ovens?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The difference is the way the heat is produced. In an electric oven electricity runs through the heating element to produce heat. In a gas oven there is a gas jet that is actually burning, lit by the pilot light and that is how the heat is produced. The gas oven is superior for cooking, but required you to have gas lines in your house and comes with the added risk of flamable gas.

<><><>

The easy answer is that a gas oven uses gas to heat and an electric oven uses electricity

<><><>

Using gas, you have the required heat in seconds, not minutes if using an electrical oven. Its just easier to change the temperature level on a gas oven, and faster. People who are used to cooking with gas have time issues with electric ovens.

<><><>

An electric convection uses electric bake and broil elements and one or more fans in the back of the oven to circulate heat, this is called either fan assist baking or "convection" HOWEVER,,, in order to be a "true convection", "europian convection", or "true europian convection", it MUST HAVE A THIRD ELEMENT!!! The third element is located behind the fan/fans in the back of the oven. If there's not a third element on an electric range, it is not a true convection oven. With gas, typically, it will just be a fan assist bake using gas heat. However, if it is a true convection, europian convection, or true europian convection, it will have an electric-yes electric- element behind the fan/fans that is run off of the 120 outlet just like the electronic ignighters and digital controls.

What is a convection-microwave oven?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

A convection and microwave combination oven is an appliance that combines the functions of both units in just one piece of equipment. This appliance will look much like a microwave oven, but will have conventional resistance (electric) heating elements in it as well as the little fan to provide the convection. This unit will function in either capacity, and about the only drawback is that the convection oven has a limited volume. Bon appétit!

What is a good convection microwave?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Convection ovens contain a fan, which is used to circulate the heated air around the item being cooked inside the microwave oven. This allows the food to be cooked much faster, while at the same time cooking the food at a lower temperature. The temperature used for cooking in a convection oven is about 20% less than in a regular microwave oven.

Yes, you can, following the same directions on the box. They may tend to get a little too brown on top in a toaster oven because they are closer to the heat source. If this happens, simply cover the top with a piece of foil until they are done.
