conventionalbakingorroasting,convection baking,convection roasting and
broiling.
TheJenn-Air convection oven isactually aconventional oven that circulates
heatedairwithin the oven. As bothbake and broil heating elements cycleon
andoffwith the thermostat, afan keepsthe heatedaircirculating aroundthe
food. The constantly recirculating heated air in the convection oven strips
away the layer of cooler air that surrounds the food.Consequently, many
foods cook more quickly. Evenly distributed heat makes multiple rack
cooking possible. Convection roasted meats retaintheir natural flavor and
juiciness with less shrinkage than conventional roasting.
