CONVECTION OVENS
Questions have come in
regarding convection ovens,
as more and more manufact
urers are advertising them.
Actually, convection ovens
have been around for a long
time, with people in commer
cial food preparation using
them for at least thirty years.
However, the first countertop
model did not appear until
1973 As energy costs began to
rise, a new interest was shown
in convection ovens because
lower temperatures and
shorter cooking lime were
required. A number of manu
facturers have introduced
their version of the countertop
units, emphasizing their ener
gy saving features. Also
available are convection ov
ens in conventional ranges,
and in combination with
microwave.
A convection oven is hot air
in motion. A fan continuously
moves heated air throughout
the oven. Because the hot air

multaneously, food cooks
more quickly, browns beauti
fully on all sides, often at
temperatures lower than con
ventional ranges.
Some confusion exists be
tween the microwave and
convection ovens. They are
not the same, in fact, quite
different. Convection ovens
cook food with the circulating
hot air: microwaves create no
external heat. The microwave
oven's efficiency decreases as
the amount (quantity) of food
increases. A convection oven
can be filled to capacity with
food without increasing cook
ing time. The convection oven
browns and crisps foods
beautifully, while in the
microwave, little or no brown
ing or crisping occurs.
Many new developments
are occuring in microwave
ovens, too. If you are making
choices you may want to stop
by the extension office and
pick up information on both
convection and microwave
ovens Iook also at the many
brands and models of both
microwave and convection
ovens and compare. Be sure
you get the product that does'
