How Do You Adjust Standard Recipes When Using A Convection Oven Instead Of A Regular Oven?
CONVECTION OVEN RECIPE CONVERSION GUIDELINES Cooking is not an exact science, due to many variables such as size and quantity of food, temperature of food when first put in the oven, etc. Convection cooking takes place due to the forced flow of hot air, thus saving energy by cooking approximately 25-30% more quickly than conventional ovens. Foods lose less moisture and retain nutrients. The internal temperature in the convection oven is easily regulated since the fan keeps the hot air constantly circulating so the food cooks uniformly. The following are general guidelines for converting conventional recipes for use in a convection oven. * Option one: Bake at the same temperature that the conventional recipe recommends, but for less time. Option two: Bake for the amount of time that the conventional recipe calls for, but reduce the temperature of the oven by about 25 degrees F. Option three: (Best) Bake for a little less time than the conventional recipe calls for, and also reduce the t
