Why does fan assisted convection heating improve cooking efficiency?
The combination of high performance heating element and a fan motor, ensures that the heat produced by the elements is moved quickly around the oven interior resulting in greater efficiency in terms of both electricity consumption and cooking performance. The potatoes are essentially cooked more evenly as the hot air is blown at the potatoes from a variety of directions at the same time. There is thus less chance of burning the potato skins or of consistent hot spots in the ovens, which can happen in more rigid radiant heat ovens. Fan ovens also reduce heat transference to the outer casing. Convection ovens are accepted worldwide as the most efficient method of cooking, both commercially and domestically.
