A lot of people have a convection oven but rarely use this setting. I find that people tend to shy away from the convection setting because they are not familiar with it. When baking or cooking it is typically with a purpose so you want it to turn out well! If you have a convection oven but haven’t use it yet for this reason go to the store to buy some cheap frozen cookie dough and try it out! I promise, you will love it. Here is a list of major benefits of having a convection oven:
- Faster pre-heat time
- More even heating throughout the oven
- Less hot pockets on one side or the other of the oven
- The ability to cook/bake on multiple racks at the same time
- Better browning
- Reduces cook time
Now, keep in mind that there are dishes you still would not want to use convection with. A cake for instance is very delicate. The additional movement of air introduced with the convection setting can affect the outcome.
The KitchenAid wall oven offers a great feature to acquaint you with convection. They call is the EasyConvert. Here is how KitchenAid explains the feature to us:
