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.
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
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.

You can find many recipes for convection oven cooking in a booklet you probably received with your oven. There are also recipes on the internet. You can also find them in other cookbooks.
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.
You would use the same temperature that the recipe calls for. The amount of heat is the same in a convection oven as it is in a standard, it is just a different way of heating. Most angel food recipes call for about 325º F.
Pork prepared in a Convection is best done by "Dry Roasting". First if the size allows you to, with the flat side on a cutting board. Cut the pork loin 3/4r's of the way through. Fold the button on top of the top, flat sides together and tie the pork loin halves together. Next in a hot pan with a small amount of olive oil in it. Sear the pork loin on all sides. Then transfer the pork loin to a 325 degree oven for 2.5 0- 3 hours for a 5-6# pork loin. roughly 30-40 minutes per pound or an internal temp of 170 degrees.
Typically, you cannot use metal in a microwave oven. In combination type microwaves however, you can use metal as long as it is in convection mode.
It means that a fan circulates the hot air during cooking. Because it pulls away the moisture, it's better for foods you want to roast, toast or brown.
The first thing you will want to do when cooking a sweet potato in a convectional oven is to preheat the oven to 375 and put the sweet potato in a baking pan. Cook the sweet potato for a half hour.

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!
Until the potatoes are tender check after 1 hour
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.

For some reason, papa murphy pizzas do not work in a convection oven. The bottom doesn't brown at all. Use the regular 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.
Many people cook a chicken in an electric rotisserie oven. You will need to clean the inside of the chicken completely out and pat the chicken dry before putting on the rotisserie spit. After the chicken is cleaned out and dry, put it on the spit and then it is ready to cook.
