No matter how kitchen-challenged you may be, we have all at one time or another operated an oven at some point in our lives. Most people have experience with the traditional oven; that is, the beast of a machine that lives in the corner of the kitchen. It's the big thing with all the knobs and dials that signify temperature, and when you open it you see huge racks supported on grooves at the side. You've probably used it to bake cookies; maybe a roast or two, and some have probably mistakenly tried to use it for instant noodles. For those people with bad experiences with traditional ovens, there is good news as technology has advanced greatly in recent years.
One of the more useful developments in oven-making comes in the form of the convection oven that is increasingly popular as a form of cooking. As opposed to a regular oven that relied on the pure brute force of heat to cook food, a convection oven ads the valued property of air movement to circulate heated energy around whatever you are cooking. The result is faster cooking times in addition to food that comes out more evenly and generally juicier. By moving air at a constant pace, temperatures are kept to the minimum level needed to cook food, and yet the job gets done more quickly because of the constant movement and transfer of energy.
Convection Ovens
Convection ovens are becoming increasingly popular as they are sold separately or in some cases manufacturers incorporate convection technology into a traditional design. Whatever the case, it has brought on new waves of recipes and tastes that take into account the added benefit of hot-air circulated cooking. There are even microwave ovens that incorporate convection fans to make their operation more efficient; although you would still not want to bake with one.
