How to Cook Pork Tenderloin in Convection
I have found that marinating the pork with a dry or wet rub adds flavor to the meat, while a quick sear in a skillet to brown the meat gives it great appeal. The perfect texture comes from finishing the cooking in Convection at a low temperature. Don’t be alarmed at the rosy shade of the meat when slicing it, this is proof that the meat did not dry out in cooking. If the rosy hue bothers a guest, cover the sliced pork with some foil and place it in the oven for a few minutes. The color will change immediately, but the texture will still be very good.

Ingredients
1 1lb pork tenderloin
1 tsp kosher salt
½ tsp dried oregano
½ tsp ancho chili powder
1 tbsp vegetable or olive oil
Preparation
Combine the seasoning with the oil and rub it into the pork tenderloin, before cooking. Even a 1-hour marinade improves the flavor but overnight is best.
Heat the oven in the Convection or Convection Bake mode 300 or 325 degrees.
Heat an oven-proof 12” skillet over moderate heat. When the pan is hot, increase the heat and lay the pork into the pan and sear it on all sides. Slide the skillet into the oven and cook for 12 - 15 minutes depending on the size.
Remove the pan from the oven and rest the meat on a cutting board for 8 - 10 minutes before slicing.

Baked Ham with Tangerine Glaze and Roasted Carrots
Since ham is already cooked by smoking it is most often eaten cold, however heated through and brushed with a fruity glaze it makes a great centerpiece for celebration meals.
In order to heat the ham through it usually needs a fair bit of time in a slow oven and to avoid drying out the meat it is covered until the final stage when the glaze is added. However, if you bake your unsliced ham in Convection you will not need to cover the ham and the heating through time will take approximately 1 ½ - 2 hours, depending on the weight of the ham. If you are heating a sliced ham then it must remain covered in foil to avoid drying out.
Ingredients
Preparation
1 - smoked ham, bone-in, skin on 7 - 9 lbs
1 - bunch fresh sage leaves
¾ - cup olive oil
1 - cup unsalted butter, cut into chunks
2 - cups tangerine juice
2 - tangerines, sliced thin, seeds removed
2 - cups, packed light brown sugar
1 - cup water
½ - teaspoon whole cloves
2 - cinnamon sticks
1 ½ - lbs baby carrots
Preheat the oven in the Convection Mode 300 degrees.
Place the ham on a rack in a large roasting pan.
Score the ham with cuts in a diamond pattern about 2 inches apart and ½ deep.
Season generously with salt and pepper. Chop 8 of the sage leaves and mix with the olive oil to make a paste, rub all of the ham getting into the slits.
Bake for 2 hours.
Glaze:
Combine the butter, tangerine juice, tangerines, brown sugar, water and spices in a heavy medium saucepan and heat over medium heat.
Bring to a gentle boil and simmer until the liquid is reduced to a syrupy glaze, 30 - 40 minutes.
Brush the glaze over the ham when it has completed its initial heating phase. Add the baby carrots and another 8 chopped sage leaves and continue baking for another 40 - 50 minutes until the carrots are tender and the internal temperature of the ham is 150 degrees.
