A convection oven heats up very quickly and cooks food a lot faster than a radiant oven, approximately 30% faster. These ovens have a fan that circulates the air continuously; this causes the food to cook more evenly and faster. When using a radiant oven, if baking 3 racks at the same time, you always have to switch racks so that they will all cook evenly, but with a convection oven it doesn't matter which rack you put it on, it all cooks the same. Generally, the food is cooked at a lower temperature, which not only saves energy but it cooks more thoroughly with less of a chance of burning.
Another nice thing is being able to bake more than one dish at a time and not having to worry about the flavors blending. Baking fish and veggies at the same time, no problem. These types of ovens are great for roasting meat, because of the low temperature and the circulation of air, it allows the meat to cook evenly very quickly and it keeps its moisture.
Convection Ovens
Saving money and energy is a major plus with convection ovens, because they heat up so fast and cook faster, you don't use as much time and energy which saves money. Due to the low temperature and less cooking time, foods do not dry out, they keep their natural juices which improves the flavor and tastes of foods, no more overcooked vegetables.
Learning how to use this type of oven is very easy, instructions are usually provided. They do not use the same temperatures as radiant ovens so when following a recipe, the temperature suggested will be different. Convection ovens are not only better for the environment, they make the quality of food better and they are much more convenient, they are better all around.
