Convection Roast Tips and Techniques
• Do not preheat for Convection Roast.
• Roast in a low-sided, uncovered pan.
• When roasting whole chickens or turkey, tuck wings behind back and loosely
tie legs with kitchen string.
• Use the 2-piece broil pan for roasting uncovered.
• Use the probe or a meat thermometer to determine the internal doneness on
"END" temperature.
• Double-check the internal temperature of meat or poultry by inserting meat
thermometer into another position.
• Large birds may also need to be covered with foil (and pan roasted) during a
portion of the roasting time to prevent over-browning.
Quick and easy recipe tips
Converting from standard BAKE to CONVECTION ROAST:
• Temperature does not have to be lowered.
• Roasts, large cuts of meat and poultry generally take 10-20% less cooking
time. Check doneness early.
• Casseroles or pot roasts that are baked covered in CONVECTION
ROAST will cook in about the same amount of time.
• The minimum safe temperature for stuffing in poultry is 165ºF (75ºC).
• After removing the item from the oven, cover loosely with foil for 10 to 15
minutes before carving if necessary to increase the final foodstuff
temperature by 5° to 10°F (3° to 6° C).
Cooking times are indicative and also depend on the thickness and
the starting temperature of the meat before cooking.
Convection Broil Tips and Techniques
• Place rack in the required position needed before turning on the oven.
• Use Convection Broil mode with the oven door closed.
• Do not preheat oven.
• Use the 2-piece broil pan.
• Turn meats once halfway through the cooking time (see convection broil
chart).
Broiling and convection broiling times are approximate and may
vary slightly.

Broil Tips and Techniques
• Place rack in the required position needed before turning on the oven.
• Use Broil mode with the oven door closed.
• Preheat oven for 5 minutes before use.
• Use the 2-piece broil pan.
• Turn meats once halfway through the cooking time (see convection broil
chart).

Dehydrate Tips and Techniques
• Dehydrating can be done using the Dehydrate mode. A lower temperature
is used and the circulating heated air slowly removes the moisture for food
preservation.
• The Dehydrate mode temperature is pre-programmed at 140ºF (60ºC).
• The Dehydrate mode temperatures available are 120ºF (50ºC) to 160ºF
(70ºC).
• Multiple racks can be used simultaneously.
• Some foods require as much as 14-15 hours of time to fully dehydrate.
• Consult a food preservation book for specific times and the handling of
various foods.
• This mode is suitable for a variety of fruits, vegetables, herbs and meat strips.
• Drying screens can be purchased at specialty kitchen shops.
• By using paper towels, some food moisture can be absorbed before
dehydrating begins (such as with sliced tomatoes or sliced peaches).
