CONVECTION COOKING

What is Convection?

In a convection

oven, a fan circulates

hot air over, under and

around the food. This

circulating hot air is

evenly distributed

throughout the oven

cavity. As a result,

foods are evenly

cooked and

browned—often in

less time with

convection heat.

Because food is heated faster in a convection oven

when using the convection modes, many types of food

can be cooked at lower temperatures than those

suggested for regular ovens. Do remember that recipe

books often give times and temperatures for cooking

in regular ovens. Convection ovens make it possible

to reduce the temperature by 25°F.

CAUTION: The convection oven fan shuts off when

the oven door is opened. DO NOT leave the door

open for long periods of time while using convection

cooking or you may shorten the life of the convection

heating element.

Cookware for Convection Cooking

Before using your convection oven, check to see

if your cookware leaves room for air circulation in

the oven. If you are baking with several pans, leave

space between them. Also, be sure the pans do not

touch each other or the walls of the oven.

Metal and Glass

Any type of cookware will work in your convection

oven. However, metal pans heat the fastest and are

recommended for convection baking.

• Darkened or matte-finished pans will bake faster

than shiny pans.

• Glass or ceramic pans cook more slowly.

Paper and Plastic

Heat-resistant paper and plastic containers that are

recommended for use in regular ovens can be used in

convection ovens. Plastic cookware that is heat-

resistant to temperatures of 400°F. can also be used.

When baking cookies, you will get the best results

if you use a flat cookie sheet instead of a pan with

low sides.

For recipes like oven-baked chicken, you should

use a pan with low sides. Hot air cannot circulate

well around food in a pan with high sides.

When Should You Use Convection Bake or Convection Roast?

To help you understand the difference between

convection bake and roast and traditional bake and

roast, here are some general guidelines.

In convection bake, heat comes from the heating

element in the rear of the oven. The convection fan

circulates the heated air evenly, over and around the

food. Preheating is not necessary with foods having

a bake time of over 15 minutes.

In regular baking, the bottom oven element heats

the air in the oven which then cooks the food.

Convection Bake

• Ideal for baked foods cooked on all 3 shelves.

• Good for large quantities of baked foods.

• Good results with cookies, biscuits, brownies,

cream puffs, sweet rolls, angel food cake and bread.

Regular Bake

• Foods such as layer cakes have a more level top

crust when not baked with convection heat.

In convection roast, heat comes from the top oven

element. The convection fan circulates the heated air

evenly over and around the food. Meat and poultry

are browned on all sides as if they were cooked on

a rotisserie. Using the roasting rack provided, heated

air will be circulated over, under and around the food

being roasted. The heated air seals in juices quickly

for a moist and tender product while, at the same

time, creating a rich golden brown exterior.

Convection Roast

• Large tender cuts of meat, uncovered.

• Roasting pans with low sides to allow air movement

around food.

Regular Roast

• Less tender cuts of meat because these need to cook

a long time in liquid to become tender.

• Cooking bag

• Foil tent

• Covered dish

Frequently Asked Questions about GE JKP56AT2AA Oven

Our support team searches for useful product information and answers to frequently asked questions. If you find an inaccuracy in our frequently asked questions, please let us know by using our contact form.

My oven does not get warm enough, what should I do? Verified

The thermostat makes sure the ovens heats up to the designated temperature. It is likely that the thermostat is defective. Have it replaced. When in doubt, contact the manufacturer.

What is pyrolysis? Verified

Some ovens are equipped with a pyrolysis function. This is a cleaning system that burns dirt and fat in the oven by using very high temperatures. After pyrolysis, all the dirt will have turned to ash and can be easily removed. If the oven has a pyrolysis function, it is advisable to use it 3 to 4 times a year to keep the oven clean.

When I use the oven there often food remains that fall on the bottom, causing smoke. How can I prevent this? Verified

Many ovens come with both a grid and a baking tray. When food is prepared on the grid, the baking tray can be placed on the bottom to prevent food remains from burning and causing smoke.

Smoke is accumulating in the oven when warming up, why is that? Verified

Probably there are food remains from previous use left in the oven. Especially greasy food remains can generate smoke when heated. Clean the oven thoroughly.

Can I prepare several items simultaneously by using more grill trays? Verified

Technically this is possible. However, it depends on the type of food if you need to adjust the preparation time or swap the trays halfway during the preparation.

Can my GE appliance also run on a generator? Verified

In general this is possible, but always check this with the manufacturer of your generator. Also be aware that some appliances require a lot of power when starting up (ie: refrigerators, freezers and air conditioners). It's also a good idea to use a generator that is voltage regulated and surge protected. When in doubt you should contact the manufacturer.
