About Convection Cooking
Convection cooking combines hot air movement by means of a fan with the
regular features (broil, bake and toast).
Convection cooking provides faster cooking in many cases than regular radiant
types toaster oven. The fan gently sends air to every area of the food, quickly
browning, crisping and sealing in moisture and flavour. It produces more even
temperature all around the food by air movement, so that food cooks/bakes/broils
evenly versus the normal ovens hot and cold spots.
The convection feature allows cooking/baking at lower temperatures, which saves
energy and helps keep the kitchen cooler.
Convection air is superheated and it circulates around the food so it cooks food
significantly faster than conventional ovens.
