Can stoneware be used in a convection oven?

Since the oven temperature is uniform and controlled throughout, convection ovens do require cooking temperatures to be lower. For best results, follow baking time and temperature guidelines that are provided with the oven. And as stated above if browning occurs before the food is done, loosely lay aluminum foil over top.
