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.

Do's and dont's of a convection oven?

When baking cakes or cookies, reduce the temperature about 25°. Check for doneness a few minutes earlier.

When roasting meats, veggies I keep the temperature the same, but check for doneness after about 60% of the usual cooking time. Makes the skin on chicken really crisp.

You can buy table-top convection 'toaster' ovens for less than $100. You can also buy self-cleaning full-sized range-ovens for anywhere from around $1000 and up.

Roasting times for whole turkeys

Preheat your oven to 160°C (325°F) and use these cooking times to prepare roast turkey that's moist, tender and delicious 16 to 22 lb Un Stuffed Turkey 3 ½ - 4 hrs 16 to 22 lb Stuffed Turkey 4 - 4 ½ hrs Turkey is fully cooked and safe to eat when the meat thermometer reads 77°C or 170°F for an un-stuffed turkey and 82°C or 180°F for a stuffed turkey.

Should you line the bottom of a convection oven with foil to keep it clean?

Asked by Wiki User

Yes, in a normal oven it will catch crumbs, grease, oil etc.

But DON'T put it in a microwave oven, or any other metal for that matter.

What might a convection oven have that a regular oven doesn't?

A convection oven has a fan. A regular oven doesn't. Convection is the process whereby air flow allows for heat to be transferred from one surface to another.

Can the convection oven microwave serve as a second oven?

Asked by Wiki User

== Why wouldn't the microwave oven part of a combination unit be as "good" as the microwave oven? They're essentially the same. A convection oven has a fan inside that circulates hot air in the oven around inside the cooking space when the "oven" part is in use. This "evens" the heat and promotes cooking efficiency and adds a bit of speed to the processs. But look at the microwave oven. A microwave oven has air blown through the cavity (the cooking space) by a fan when the unit is running. In this light, the ovens may be more similar than they are different. The air blown through the cavity is being forced through the cooling elements of the magnetron, the microwave generating device, and it enters the chamber already preheated. But the convection oven circulates hot air continuously, and this is an advantage. Microwave ovens work by adding energy to the hydrogen-oxygen bonds of water molecules inside food. This translates into an increase of the thermal or heat energy in the water. Because water molecules are the most affected by this method of heat-radiation cooking, it is a good idea to add a little water to your left-overs if they're a little on the dry side before re-warming them in the oven.

This is a type of oven that uses a fan to circulate hot air around the object in the oven. This method reduces overall cooking time. The question asked if the microwave part of a microwave-convection oven was as good as a microwave-only unit. Yes, it is. They are the same thing. It's just that the microwave oven in a convection-microwave oven is built into a convection oven. It is unfair (and incorrect) to say that the convection-microwave oven is more efficient than a microwave oven when the performance of the two microwave ovens is compared. Certainly the combination unit has more features than the stand alone unit. It is more flexible; it has extended application and cooking "power" in its ability to prepare food. But the microwave portion of the combination unit is no better or worse than a conventional microwave oven.

How long does it take to cook a 6 lb chicken in a rotisserie convection oven?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I had the same question so I went to my local butcher. He told me it takes 1/2 hr per pound so for a 4 pound bird its 2 hours total. Set the rotisserie on bake at 350 degrees, should be ready in 4 hours. I baste it in its own juices too...mmmm Hope that helps!

How do you clean a microwave convection oven?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Put a oven proof bowl inside the oven with lemon and water. The lemon should be cut and squeezed into the water. There should be enough water in the bowl to cover the lemon skins. Turn on the oven to about 160 to 200 degrees Celcius. Wait until the water boils and begins to make steam then turn it down so the water begins to simmer slowly. Leave for about 20 to 30 minutes until there is little water in the bowl. Turn off the oven. Open the oven and begin wiping with a damp cloth while still hot to warm. Grease should soften and begin to come off. For thick baked grease Sodium Bi Carbone made into a paste (by adding a little water to the Bi Carb) and rub on to the thick area and then apply lemon juice or vinigar. Heat the oven as describe above in the first paragraph. This procedure can be used to clean burnt substances from the base of saucepans or anything that has carbonised. This does work. I regularly use this method to clean my oven and anything that carbonises. The best results for getting carbon off any item is to be able apply Sodium Bi Carb with vinigar on to the item and then boil the item in a covered saucepan with some water added (1 cup or so of water or enough to cover the item) for a least ten minutes. The burn carbonised substance will just peal off with a ligth rub. This works when needing to clean stove elements, oven sauces under the stove elements, roasting pans, barbeque plates and grills.

Can you use a convection-microwave oven if the inner glass in the door is shattered but intact?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

no. DANGER! It would not be a good idea to use your oven if the glass on the door is missing; the oven would still get hot inside, but your kitchen would also overheat very seriously. It is a good idea to keep the heat inside the oven where you want it.

What does a convection oven do that a regular oven does not do?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

A convection oven contains a fan that a regular oven does not. This fan blows the air around inside the convection oven, setting up artificial convection currents that cause the temperature of the air throughout the convection oven to equalize, eliminating hot and cold spots that may be present in a regular oven. Convection ovens can usually bake or roast faster than regular ovens and do it more evenly.

Ovens are fit loosely as they need the space for more air so they can cook quicker
