Have you ever used a convection oven? Is it easier to use than a regular oven?

Similar questions: convection oven easier regular.

Pure convection: no visible heating element, oven air is heated before its "blown" into the oven. This allows you to cook anywhere in the oven (think 5 sheets of cookies, top to bottom as there are no "hot spots" Regular convection: bottom heating element is used, air is circulated, good for roasting, etc... I use both (since my oven has both). The rule of thumb on the oven is 25 degrees less than instructed and 20% less cooking time (cooking time varies of course..so keep an eye on it the first few times) overall..always convection..rarely radiant..but keep in mind that the food must be exposed to the fan, foods covered in foil, etc..wont benefit from convection.

Well In terms of actual "Ease", there's really no difference. Our oven can operate in normal and convection modes, and there is no real difference in how to use it. What is different, though, is cooking times.

For newer recipes, this is great, since many new recipe books list convection directions. You can cook things much more quickly, as there is a fan that circulates the heat. When you're working with an older recipe, though, you have to guesstimate how long to cook something in the convection.

Expect a lot of trial and error as you figure out the time conversion. Here's a general guide on deciding how long to cook something broilking.com/convection_cooking.html Option one: Bake at the same temperature that the conventional recipe recommends, but for about 25-30% less time. So the cake will bake at 350 degrees for about 21-23 minutes.(100% - 30% = 70%; 30 minutes x .70 = 21 minutes; 100% - 25% = 75%; 30 minutes x .75 = 22.5 minutes.) Option two: Bake for the amount of time that the conventional recipe calls for, but reduce the temperature of the oven by 25-30 degrees F.

So in the cake example, bake at 320-325 degrees (350 – 30 = 320 degrees; 350 – 25 = 325 degrees) for 30 minutes. We've gotten both methods to work, but again, there will be trial and error.67alecto's Recommendations The Convection Oven Bible Amazon List Price: $22.95 Used from: $15.59 The Best Convection Oven Cookbook Amazon List Price: $18.95 Used from: $9.50 Average Customer Rating: 3.0 out of 5 (based on 8 reviews) .

All that I use at my catering biz, we have two 6 deck convection ovens and I love them. It's not so much easier, but it is way faster and more even. That being said, it does take some getting used to via experimentation.

The first time we used our for Thanksgiving turkeys (like 30 of them) we went in to work at 5 am and were done by, um 8ish....lol. When you get used to it, you'll love it.

Easier-no. Better-yes Convection ovens cook in half the time of a regular oven. It uses a fan to circulate hot air more effectively than a regular oven.It is not any easier or more difficult than a regular oven and on most convection ovens, you can choose from convection and conventional.

1 I have used the convection oven for years. I still stick to the original more often than the convection, but when it comes to baking chicken...the convection is a must. Remember that the cooking time is shorter and the heat swirls around what you are cooking.

With the circulation of heat, the chicken comes out very moist , yet, don't get me wrong, the outside can be nice and golden ( and crisp, if you wish. ) .

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
