If youare unsure how to convert a recipe, begin by prepar-ing the recipe using the standard bake settings. Afterachieving acceptable results, follow the convectionguidelines below. If the food is not cooked to yoursatisfaction during this first convection trial, adjustone recipe variable at a time (such as cooking time,rack position or temperature) and repeat the convec-tion test. If necessary, continue adjusting one recipevariable at a time until you get satisfactory results.• As a general rule, to convert conventional standardbake recipes to convection recipes, reduce the tem-perature by 25˚F and the cook time by approximately10%.Baking Tips• Do not open the oven door frequently during baking.Look through the oven door window to check theprogress of baking whenever possible.• use the oven timers to determine baking time.• Wait until the shortest recommended baking timebefore checking food.
