  • Easy to Prepare Baked Lamb Kofta and Roasted Cauliflower

    Lamb kofta baked together with a medley of cauliflower and peppers is an easy-to-prepare, quick-cooking meal. Served with a crisp salad, some fresh pita bread, and tzatziki sauce, this easy meal has the appeal of great flavor and textures. YOUR RECIPE FOR CONVECTION COOKING! Anchor 1 Easy to Prepare Baked Lamb Kofta and Roasted Cauliflower Convection Roast or Convection Bake Mode This convection meal is a breeze to prepare, with roasted cauliflower, vibrant peppers, and savory meatballs ready in no time! Lamb kofta baked together with a medley of cauliflower and peppers is an easy-to-prepare, quick-cooking meal. Served with a crisp salad, some fresh pita bread, and tzatziki sauce, this easy meal has the appeal of great flavor and textures. Once the seasonings are added to the ground lamb, it only takes a few minutes to roll them into meatballs or the more traditional cigar shape. The kofta is loaded with flavor, so I find it’s best not to add too much spice to the vegetables, so I keep them simple. Also, I recommend roasting the vegetables and kofta on separate trays so the vegetables can achieve a nice crisp finish. INGREDIENTS For the kofta: 1lb (500 g) ground lamb 1 small yellow onion, grated 2 cloves garlic, grated or minced 2 tbsp chopped cilantro 2 tsp ground cumin 2 tsp paprika 2 tsp ground coriander 1 tsp cinnamon 1 tsp kosher salt ½ tsp cayenne pepper ¼ cup panko breadcrumbs For the cauliflower: 1 head cauliflower, quartered, core removed, each quarter cut into ½” thick slices 1 red pepper, seeds and thick membrane removed, cut into ½” thick strips 1 yellow pepper, prepared as noted above ½ red onion, cut into ¼” slices ½ tsp dried oregano or Italian seasoning 2 tbsp olive oil Recipe ingredients. PREPARATION Heat the oven in the Convection Roast or Convection Bake mode to 400°F/205°C. Combine the ground lamb with the seasonings and breadcrumbs, and roll it into cylinders or meatballs. Arrange them on a parchment—or foil-lined shallow baking tray. Combine the vegetables with the olive oil and seasoning and spread onto another shallow baking tray. Efficient cooking: Roasted cauliflower and bell peppers alongside meatballs, ready to be baked simultaneously for a quick and flavorful meal. Place the tray with the vegetables on the lower rack in the oven and slide the tray with the kofta in on the upper rack. Set the timer for 20 minutes. The kofta should be glossy and firm to the touch, while the vegetables should be caramelized on the edges.

  • Italian Cheese Bread with Mozzarella - Just like Pizza!

    Convection Bake is the ideal mode when baking Italian Cheese Bread with Mozzarella. You will have a light crisp perfectly baked crust YOUR RECIPE FOR CONVECTION COOKING! Anchor 1 Italian Cheese Bread with Mozzarella - Just like Pizza! Convection Bake Mode Golden cheese bread sliced and served fresh from the convection oven. Convection Bake is the ideal mode to choose when baking bread and pizza in your Convection oven. The heating element in the bottom of the oven directs powerful heat to the base of the crust while the heated air circulating around the oven helps form a light crisp perfectly baked crust. Because this Convection Bake recipe uses Rapid Rise Yeast, the dough requires only 20 minutes for proofing before being rolled out and topped with a generous helping of cheese. Basically, in approximately 45 minutes you are able to enjoy delicious homemade cheesy bread which is almost instant happiness. While this dough is easy to make getting the water temperature just right is key to success. Testing the water temperature on the inside of your wrist before adding to the dry ingredients is recommended to avoid adding water that is either too hot or too cold. While this recipe shares the same ingredients as pizza the dough is much thicker and because it’s thicker it can handle a more generous amount of cheese. You can certainly add additional flavor accents just take care not to weigh the dough down. The bread can be baked on a baking stone or a metal pan placed on the 1st or second rack from the bottom of the oven. INGREDIENTS Bread Dough 2 ½ cups all-purpose or bread flour 1 tsp Kosher salt 1 tsp sugar 1 tbsp, rapid rise yeast 1 cup warm water 1 tbsp olive oil Topping 1 cup shredded Mozzarella cheese 2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese 3 tbs mayonnaise 1 tbsp chopped green onion Dash red chili flakes PREPARATION Combine the four, salt, sugar, and yeast in a medium-sized bowl. Combine the water and oil in a measuring cup and add to the flour mixture. Mix with a wooden spoon to form a soft dough. Turn onto a lightly floured surface, and gather the dough together in a ball and knead a few times to create a smooth ball. Place the dough into a clean bowl add 1 tsp of olive oil and turn to coat with the oil. Cover with a kitchen towel or select the Proof mode in your oven and place uncovered in the oven to proof for 20 minutes. While the dough is proofing, combine the topping ingredients in a small bowl. Heat the oven in the Convection Bake Mode 450 degrees. If using a pizza stone place the stone in the oven during the preheating phase. Place the dough on a lightly floured surface, punch it down flatten it into a disc with the heel of your palm. Place the dough over the back of your hands and stretch it into a 12” circle. If using a pizza stone, place the dough on a lightly floured pizza peel. If using a baking pan, place the dough on a lightly oiled baking sheet. Spread the cheese mixture evenly over the dough and slide the bread into the oven. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until golden brown and the cheese is bubbling.

  • Convection Baked Turkey Enchiladas

    An enchilada casserole is quick to assemble and a delicious way to use up extra cooked turkey, even if you only have a small amount. A quick sauté of onions, garlic, and jalapeño peppers, combined with some cumin, black beans, and enchilada sauce, is all you need for the base. YOUR RECIPE FOR CONVECTION COOKING! Anchor 1 Convection Baked Turkey Enchiladas Convection Bake Mode Golden-baked turkey enchiladas topped with melted cheese and fresh herbs in a baking dish. An enchilada casserole is quick to assemble and a delicious way to use up extra cooked turkey, even if you only have a small amount. A quick sauté of onions, garlic, and jalapeño peppers, combined with some cumin, black beans, and enchilada sauce, is all you need for the base. Once prepared, the filling is rolled in tortillas and topped with more enchilada sauce and shredded cheese, then the casserole is heated in the oven. Since enchiladas freeze well, you can make one large casserole or portion them into several small containers to have on hand for later. INGREDIENTS 1 tbsp olive oil 1 medium yellow onion, diced 3 cloves garlic, minced 1 jalapeno pepper, finely chopped 1 tsp ground cumin powder 1 15-oz can black beans 1 28-oz can of enchilada sauce 3 cups chopped cooked turkey ¼ cup chopped cilantro (optional) 1 cup shredded asadero or cheddar cheese 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese Cotija cheese for garnish (optional) 10 - 12 corn tortillas PREPARATION Heat the oven to 350°F/175°C in the Convection Bake mode. Spread about ⅔ cup of the enchilada sauce in the bottom of a 9x13 casserole pan and set aside. Heat a medium-sized pan over moderate heat. When the pan has heated, add the oil and onions and sauté over moderate heat until softened. Stir in the garlic, jalapenos, and cumin and cook for a few minutes, taking care not to burn the garlic. Stir in the black beans and about 1 cup of the enchilada sauce and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in the turkey and cook for a few minutes to combine. Remove the pan from the heat, then stir in ½ cup of each of the cheeses and half of the cilantro. To assemble the enchiladas, add approximately 1 tablespoon of enchilada sauce down the center of a tortilla, add about 2 tablespoons of the cooked mixture, and roll up the tortilla, tucking in the sides to make a neat packet. Place in the prepared pan and repeat until the pan is full. Spread the remaining enchilada sauce over the tortillas and top with the remaining shredded cheese. Bake the pan uncovered for 30 minutes, until it bubbles. If the pan is very full, place it on a rimmed baking sheet to prevent the mixture from spilling over. Garnish with the remaining fresh cilantro and cotija cheese before serving. Serves 6 - 8 Note: For best results, shred the cheese by hand from a block, and combining the two cheeses prior to use will ensure even distribution.

  • Baked Tuna Steaks with Delicious Pesto

    Tuna steaks pair well with zesty, spicy toppings; however, in this recipe, we used freshly made basil pesto and served the tuna with an orzo pasta side salad. YOUR RECIPE FOR CONVECTION COOKING! Anchor 1 Baked Tuna Steaks with Delicious Pesto Convection Roast or Convection Bake Mode Savor the flavors of perfectly grilled tuna steaks topped with vibrant pesto, paired with a hearty side of roasted tomatoes and couscous. Tuna steaks require careful handling when cooking to prevent them from drying out or becoming rubbery. While searing them in a hot pan is always a good option, they are also delicious when baked in the oven in the convection mode. When cooking tuna steaks in the oven, it’s important to preheat the oven to a high temperature and allow for approximately 10-12 minutes of cooking time. Tuna steaks pair well with zesty, spicy toppings; however, in this recipe, we used freshly made basil pesto and served the tuna with an orzo pasta side salad. Pesto is such a great condiment to have on hand, as it adds pizzazz to many dishes, including grilled seafood, casseroles, pasta, soups, and sandwiches. When making a batch of pesto, it’s a good idea to freeze any extra in small containers to have on hand. INGREDIENTS For the tuna 2 tuna steaks ½ tsp dried oregano 2 tbsp olive oil 1 tbsp lemon juice Pinch dried red chili flakes (optional) For the pesto 2 cups basil leaves, washed and completely dried 3 cloves of garlic ¼ cup pine nuts or walnuts (plain or toasted) ¼ cup fruity olive oil Fresh tuna steaks await a zingy transformation with lemon and herb-infused pesto. PREPARATION Combine the tuna with seasoning and lemon juice in a shallow glass container, then set aside to marinate for 10-15 minutes. Heat the oven to 450°F/230 °C in the Convection Roast or Convection Bake mode. Lightly oil a shallow, rimmed baking pan. Add the fish to the pan, place it in the oven, and cook for 6 minutes. Turn the fish and continue cooking for an additional 5 -6 minutes. Top with a dollop of pesto before serving. To prepare the pesto, place the basil, garlic, and nuts in the bowl of a food processor and pulse until the ingredients are well chopped. Add a ¼ tsp of sea salt and, with the motor running, drizzle in the olive oil until well combined. Stop the motor, taste the pesto, and add more salt if necessary. Additionally, more oil can be added if you prefer a more liquid consistency. Serves 2 PRINT RECIPE Baked Tuna Steaks with Delicious Pesto .pdf Download PDF • 265KB WANT TO LEARN MORE?

  • Short Ribs Braised with Red Wine

    It only takes 10 - 12 minutes for the initial cooking stage for the Short Ribs before they go into the oven for a good 2 hours so obviously get those done first even a day in advance. YOUR RECIPE FOR CONVECTION COOKING! Anchor 1 Short Ribs Braised with Red Wine Convection (True Convection) or Convection Bake Mode Succulent braised short ribs simmered in rich tomato sauce, topped with fresh herbs. Since we tend to use our ovens for longer periods of time during the cooler months, it’s always worthwhile to consider preparing several dishes at one time with your Convection Oven . Each of the dishes in this meal is easy to make, but to make all three at one time takes a little planning. A hearty convection meal featuring braised chipotle ribs, quinoa-stuffed squash, and a side of creamy gratin on a rustic wooden table. Here is the list of dishes I am preparing: Chipotle Chili Braised Short Ribs Baked Stuffed Winter Squash Caramel Sauce, Apple Bread Pudding INGREDIENTS Chipotle Braised Short Ribs 4 - 5lbs beef short ribs, about 8 (2 per person) 2 - tablespoons olive or vegetable oil 2 - tablespoons, butter 1 - medium onion, coarsely chopped 4 - cloves, garlic, pressed 3 - ounces brandy or medium sherry (measured out. Don’t pour from the bottle) ¼ - teaspoon dried mixed Italian seasoning 1 - bay leaf 1 - 14oz can whole tomatoes 2 - tablespoons tomato paste 1 - cup beef broth 1 - tablespoon chilis in Adobo Baked Stuffed Winter Squash 3 - small carnival or acorn squash ½ - cup quinoa, barley or bulgur (all make a good stuffing) 1 - tablespoon olive oil 2 - tablespoons butter ½ - medium yellow onion, finely chopped 3 - cloves garlic, minced ¼ - teaspoon dried oregano ½ - lb cremini or shiitake mushrooms ½ - bunch lacinato kale or chard, ribs removed, leaves finely chopped. Caramel Sauce Apple Bread Pudding 1 - loaf cinnamon challah bread cubed 6 - large eggs ½ - cup granulated sugar 2 - cups half and half 3 - tablespoons butter 3 - tablespoons brown sugar 4 - apples, peeled, cored and chopped 2 - ounces brandy Caramel Sauce ½ - cup brown sugar 4 - tablespoons butter ½ - cup heavy cream PREPARATION It only takes 10 - 12 minutes for the initial cooking stage for the Short Ribs before they go into the oven for a good 2 hours, so obviously, get those done first, even a day in advance. Now, prepare the squash. First, you need to carefully cut them in half and scoop out the seeds. The squash needs to be baked or steamed to soften the flesh before stuffing. If you are using your Combi Steam Oven to steam them, you can steam the grains for the stuffing at the same time. Allow approximately 15 minutes to steam the squash. During that time, you can sauté the vegetables that will be mixed with the grains for the stuffing. Prepare the bread pudding. Soak the cubed bread in the egg mixture while you sauté the apples. The caramel sauce goes together really quickly, just before serving. You can bake the bread pudding and stuffed squash simultaneously in the oven, and the short ribs can be warmed on the cooktop or in the oven. Chipotle Braised Short Ribs Preheat the oven to Convection or Convection Bake 300 (small ovens, 325 larger ovens). Pat the short ribs dry and season with salt and pepper. Heat a large, heavy pan over moderate heat and add the oil and butter. Place the short ribs in the pan, meaty side down, and leave to brown for a few minutes. Then, turn and brown the other side. When browned all over, reduce the heat and remove from the pan. Stir in the onion and cook to soften over moderate heat, then stir in the garlic and cook for a minute before carefully adding the brandy to the pan and letting it cook for a minute or so. Now add the remaining ingredients, breaking up the tomatoes with a fork as they soften. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, cover, and place in the oven to cook for approximately 2 hours or until the meat is very tender. Allow the meat to cool in the pan, and skim off any fat that solidifies on the surface before reheating. Serves 4 Baked Stuffed Winter Squash Preheat the steam oven in steam mode or use the convection oven in convection bake at 350. Carefully cut the squash in half so each forms a nice-sized bowl. Scoop out the seeds and enough of the flesh to allow room for stuffing. You can always chop any excess squash and add it to the stuffing. Place the squash in a solid pan and steam for 15 - 20 minutes or until tender when pierced with a fork. If cooking in the Convection oven, add ¼ cup of water to the pan and cover the squash with foil. Place the quinoa or other grain in a solid pan, cover with 1 cup of water, and steam at the same time as you cook the squash. Meanwhile, sauté the vegetables for the stuffing. Heat a medium skillet over moderate heat. Add the oil and butter, stir the onion, and cook to soften. Add the garlic and oregano and stir in the mushrooms. Cook until the mushrooms release their juices, and then stir in the chopped greens. Cover and cook over low heat for 8 - 10 minutes before stirring the cooked grains. Grains can also be added directly to the pan with some water and cooked covered after the greens have been added. Taste for seasoning before adding to the partially cooked squash. Bake uncovered in the Convection Bake Mode at 350 degrees for 20 - 25 minutes. Caramel Sauce Apple Bread Pudding Place the cubed bread in a large bowl. Mix the eggs, sugar, and half-and-half and pour over the bread to soak. Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over moderate heat. Add the butter and brown sugar and heat until the sugar has dissolved. Stir in the apples and cook for 8 - 10 minutes until softened and slightly caramelized. Stir in the brandy and cook for a few more minutes; cool before adding it to the bread mixture. Scrape the contents into an oven-safe casserole and bake. Use convection-bake mode at 350 degrees for 30 - 35 minutes until the custard is set. Caramel Sauce Melt the sugar and butter in a small heavy pan over moderate heat. When the sugar has dissolved and become liquid, carefully stir in the cream and remove from the heat. Pour the mixture over the cooked bread pudding before serving. Braised Ribs_Stuffed Squash & Bread Puddining .pdf Download PDF • 238KB WANT TO LEARN MORE?

  • Turkey Pot Pies with Creamy Mushroom Gravy

    Turkey make a delicious savory filling for pot pies in a flaky pastry. It is a wonderful warming meal and a great way to use up turkey (or chicken) leftover YOUR RECIPE FOR CONVECTION COOKING! Anchor 1 Turkey Pot Pies with Creamy Mushroom Gravy Convection Mode (True Convection) Golden turkey pot pies served on a bed of leafy greens, accompanied by a fresh garden salad. A delicious savory filling in a flaky pastry is a wonderful warming meal and a great way to use up leftover morsels of cooked chicken, turkey or beef. You can of course use pre-made pastry, and vary the vegetables to taste. I used a short crust pastry for the base of the pie and topped the pies with a round of store-bought puff pastry. A little decadent but really delicious. Of course there are always options, you could skip the bottom layer of pastry all together and just add the pastry on top or instead of pastry you could top the pies with mashed potatoes or sweet potatoes. The pies bake at 375 degrees in the Convection mode and if you want to get a head start on another meal, consider roasting some butternut squash or vegetable of your choice for an easy delicious soup. This recipe yields 6 - 5” individual pies. INGREDIENTS Pastry 3 cups all purpose flour 1 tsp salt 1 ½ sticks very cold unsalted butter cut into small chunks 3 - 4 oz ice water OR 2 circles frozen pie dough 1 pkg frozen puff pastry sheets (for the top layer) Filling 1 tbsp unsalted butter 1tbsp olive oil 1 medium yellow onion, cut into ½” “ dice 2 medium carrots, peeled and cut into ½” dice 3 stalks celery, strings removed, cut into ½” dice 2 cloves garlic, peeled and coarsely chopped ½ tsp dried oregano or mixed Italian seasoning 6oz cremini mushrooms, wiped clean and cut into ½” dice 3 cups cooked chicken, turkey, or beef, chopped into small chunks Gravy 2 tbsp unsalted butter 2 tbsp all purpose flour 1 cup hot stock (chicken, turkey or even beef stock) PREPARATION Combine the flour and salt in the bowl of a food processor and pulse a few times. Add the butter and pulse 5 - 6 times until the mixture resembles coarse meal. With the motor running, add the ice water slowly. Only add enough water for the dough to come together in a ball. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead the dough into a ball then with the heel of your palm flatten it into a disk. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes or up to a day in advance. When ready to assemble, roll out the dough and cut out 6 - 6” circles of dough. Line the pie tins then fill with the cooled filling. The pies can now be refrigerated until ready to bake. Wrap any leftover pastry and freeze for another use. Before baking, thaw 2 sheets of frozen puff pastry and cut 3-5” rounds out of each sheet (see the note at the end of the recipe of using the extra puff pastry). Brush the edges with some beaten egg mixed with a bit of water and place the top on the pie with the egg washed side down so it sticks to the bottom pastry layer. Press all around the edges with the tines of a fork, make a few slits in the top of the pie for the steam to escape and brush the tops with the reminder of the egg wash. Place the pies on a rimmed baking sheet and bake in the Convection Bake Mode 375 degrees on the second or third rack from the bottom of the oven. Cooking time will be approximately 30 minutes. Filling Heat a 10” sauté pan over moderate heat and when hot add the butter and oil to the pan. Stir in the onions and cook over moderate heat for a few minutes until they are translucent. Stir in the carrots and celery and cook over moderate heat for about 5 minutes until the vegetables soften. Now stir in the mushrooms and garlic and cook and cook stirring so the garlic doesn’t burn. Lower the heat, add a few tablespoons of stock to the pan, cover and cook for about 10 minutes while you make the gravy. Taste the mixture after you have added the gravy and adjust the seasoning. Gravy Melt the butter in a small heavy pan over medium low heat, stir in the flour and cook for 4 minutes, taking care not to burn. Stir in the hot stock, increase the heat and whisk until the mixture thickens. When thickened, combine the gravy with the filling and taste for seasoning. You are now ready to fill the pies. Note: When using store-bought bouillon or stock, always wait to season the food as sometimes they are a little too salty. Note: You will have left over puff pastry which can’t be re- frozen. You can cut the pastry into small strips and sprinkle with some Parmesan cheese or even add in some finely chopped salami, roll the strips into mini baguette shapes or twists and bake those for a little savory snack.

  • Slow Roasted Balsamic Glazed Pork Loin Roast

    The key to success when roasting lean cuts of meat like a pork loin is keeping the temperature on the low side and keeping a careful eye on the timing. Creating a flavorful marinade and cooking the roast in convection adds great flavor and ensures better moisture retention. YOUR RECIPE FOR CONVECTION COOKING! Anchor 1 Slow Roasted Balsamic Glazed Pork Loin Roast Convection Bake or Convection Roast Mode Savor the succulent allure of perfectly roasted pork loin, surrounded by a vibrant medley of roasted carrots and fennel. The key to success when roasting lean cuts of meat like a pork loin is keeping the temperature on the low side and keeping a careful eye on the timing. Creating a flavorful marinade and cooking the roast in convection adds great flavor and ensures better moisture retention. Convection is ideal for cooking lean meats as the circulating heated air cooking the food from the edge to the center helps maintain the natural moisture in the food. I cooked this (2.75lb/1.25kg) pork roast in my gas oven set to 325°F/162°F for 1 hour and 10 minutes. To prevent moisture loss, I placed the pork on a rack in a shallow pan and added some vegetables to it for the final 40 minutes of cooking time. My gas oven does not have an electronic meat probe, but the internal temperature was a perfect 140°F/60°C when I removed it from the oven and slightly higher after resting for 10 minutes. The Balsamic vinegar in the marinade not only adds great flavor to the meat but also helps tenderize it, rendering it incredibly juicy and tender. I marinated the roast for 6 hours prior to cooking; however, it could also be marinated overnight. In addition to adding great flavor, the marinade gives the roast a lovely glossy finish and can also be reduced to a glaze to serve with the pork. INGREDIENTS Pork loin roast approx 2.5lbs (1.15kg) ⅓ cup (7mL) Balsamic vinegar 1 tbsp (15 mL) honey 2 tbsp (30 mL) olive oil 1 tsp dried Italian seasoning or 1tbs chopped fresh rosemary or thyme 3 cloves garlic, minced Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper Recipe ingredients. PREPARATION Season the pork loin with kosher salt and pepper. Combine the remaining marinade ingredients and pour over the pork. Marinate for several hours or overnight. When ready to cook, remove the pork from the marinade and place it on a rack in a shallow pan to bring it to room temperature. Reserve the marinade. If you plan to add vegetables to the pan to roast together with the pork, be sure to use a large enough pan. Alternatively, you can add the vegetables to a second pan, knowing they will cook evenly in convection. Heat the oven in the Convection Bake or Convection Roast mode to 325°F/162°C When the oven comes to temperature, place the pan with the pork in it, and if using the oven meat probe, set the internal temperature to 140°F/60°C. If your oven does not feature a meat probe, plan to cook the roast for at least 1 hour and 10 minutes, but check it at the 50-minute mark with an instant-read thermometer to estimate the exact cooking time. When you remove the roast from the oven, set it aside to rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing. Place the reserved marinade in a small heavy pan and reduce over low heat for 5 - 6 minutes until it thickens to form a glaze to serve with the pork. Leftover pork loin thinly sliced makes amazing sandwiches. When reheated in the steam oven, it recreates the enjoyment of a freshly cooked meal.

  • Slow Cooked Top Sirloin Roast - Cut in the Chateaubriand Style

    This recipe calls for a Top Sirloin roast cut in the Chateaubriand style; in other words, it resembles the shape of a chateaubriand cut from the tenderloin, but definitely not the price. YOUR RECIPE FOR CONVECTION COOKING! Anchor 1 Slow Cooked Top Sirloin Roast - Cut in the Chateaubriand Style Convection, Convection Roast, and Convection Bake Mode Sliced beef tot sirloin with herb butter, cheesy au gratin potatoes, and roasted asparagus. This recipe calls for a Top Sirloin roast cut in the Chateaubriand style; in other words, it resembles the shape of a chateaubriand cut from the tenderloin, but definitely not the price. Cooking the roast at a low temperature in convection with a dash of high heat for browning at the end is the ideal way to render this sirloin roast tender and flavorful. When cooking lean, tender cuts of meat at a low temperature, using an oven meat probe or a wireless probe is crucial for monitoring the internal temperature. I cooked my roast at 250°F (120 °C) in the Convection Roast mode , setting it to reach an internal temperature of 120°F (49 °C). When the digital readout indicated the roast had reached 120°F (49 °C, I increased the oven temperature to 425°F (220°C) for the remainder of the cooking time. The result was a perfectly pink, tender, juicy roast that was perfectly browned. Because the meat is cooked at such a low temperature, it is challenging to cook side dishes in the oven at the same time; however, since the roast is finished at high heat, choosing side dishes that can be cooked in the Broil mode is a great option. I chose Au Gratin potatoes , which are actually simmered on the cooktop, topped with cheese, and finished under the broiler, as well as a side of broiled asparagus. Plan approximately 50 minutes of cooking time for the beef, plus at least 12-15 minutes of resting time. Recipe ingredients. INGREDIENTS 2 -2.5lb chateaubriand-style top sirloin roast 1 tsp kosher salt 1 tsp steakhouse seasoning 1 tbsp olive oil PREPARATION Season the roast with kosher salt and steakhouse seasoning, and refrigerate, uncovered, overnight or for at least 6 hours. Prior to cooking, rub the oil into the meat. Heat the oven to 250°F (120 °C) in the Convection Roast or Convection Bake mode. Place the meat on a rack in a shallow baking pan, and insert the oven meat probe sensor into the meat at an angle, ensuring the probe tip remains in the meat. Slide the pan into the oven and insert the probe into the receptacle. Close the door, touch the Probe symbol on the control panel or display, and program the probe to reach an internal temperature of 120°F(50 °C). When the internal target temperature has been reached, increase the oven temperature to 425°F (220 °C) and cook for another 6-8 minutes, until the meat is glossy. Remove the meat from the oven and set it aside to rest for 12 - 15 minutes prior to carving. To cook the side dishes, set the oven to Broil and increase the temperature to 450°F (220 °C, Medium). Allow approximately 6-8 minutes to broil the asparagus, then finish the au gratin potatoes in the Broil Mode.

Crisp roasted cauliflower makes a delicious side dish or can be a meal on its own. In this preparation, we added some fresh herb Chimichurri sauce, normally served with beef, to give the cauliflower some pizazz. I roasted this cauliflower as part of a Convection meal that included some baked Mahi Mah i and a medley of zucchini, peppers, and onion with some garbanzo beans. I used the Convection Roast mode and placed the cauliflower close to the bottom heating element to achieve a good amount of crisping. There is so much flavor in the Chimichurri sauce so the cauliflower only needs a drizzle of oil and a sprinkle of salt and pepper.

  • Roasted Eggplant Ratatouille with Peppers and Tomatoes

    Roasted Eggplant Ratatouille with Peppers and Tomatoes is a flavorful vegetable stew from Southern France that combines a bounty of summer vegetables: eggplant, zucchini, peppers and tomatoes YOUR RECIPE FOR CONVECTION COOKING! Anchor 1 Roasted Eggplant Ratatouille with Peppers and Tomatoes Convection Bake or Convection Roast Mode Enjoy the vibrant flavors of oven-roasted ratatouille paired with tender meat slices on an ornate plate. Ratatouille is a flavorful vegetable stew from Southern France that combines a bounty of summer vegetables, eggplant, zucchini, peppers and tomatoes. Typically it is cooked in a heavy casserole on the cooktop but the vegetables can also be combined and roasted in the oven for an easy Convection Meal. This dish combines well with roast chicken, oven baked polenta and our favorite roast lamb and can even be served over pasta or grains. Oven roasted ratatouille makes a wonderful buffet dish and can be enjoyed hot or at room temperature. INGREDIENTS 3 shallots, peeled and cut in half 10 cloves garlic, peeled 2 small Italian eggplant or 1 Italian and 1 Fairy Tale eggplant, cut into 1 ½” chunks 3 large zucchini, cut into 1 ½” chunks 2 large peppers, yellow and orange are nice for the color, peeled, seeds removed, cut into 1 ½” pieces ( a Y shaped vegetable peeler does a good job of removing the peel) ¼ cup olive oil 1 level tsp herbs de Provence 4 medium Roma tomatoes, cut into quarters (these are added later) PREPARATION Combine the shallots, garlic, eggplant, zucchini and peppers in a large shallow mixing bowl. Season with a sprinkle of Kosher salt and the herbs, add enough of the olive oil to coat the vegetables evenly then spread onto a rimmed baking sheet. The vegetables will shrink a fair bit during the cooking so it’s best if they are fairly crowded on the tray. Heat the oven in the Convection Bake or Convection Roast Mode 375 degrees. Roast the ratatouille for 25 minutes then remove the tray from the oven and fold in the tomatoes. Continue roasting for another 15 minutes.

  • Beef Tenderloin - The Reverse Seared Method

    Cooking lean tender cuts of meat using the reverse sear method ensures the meat cooks evenly and doesn’t dry out. YOUR RECIPE FOR CONVECTION COOKING! Anchor 1 Beef Tenderloin - The Reverse Seared Method Low Temperature Roasting Beef Tenderloin - the reverse seared method Beef tenderloin is a lean cut of beef with little marbling. To preserve moisture and ensure fork-tender results, tenderloin is best slow-cooked in Convection with a burst of high heat for a flavorful finish. Cooking lean tender cuts of meat using the reverse sear method ensures the meat cooks evenly and doesn’t dry out. I cooked my 3lb tenderloin at 200°F to an internal temperature of 125°F in the Convection or True-Convection Mode . Then I removed it from the oven to rest for 20 minutes, at which time I switch to Convection Roast Mode and increased the oven temperature. At this time, I also added the vegetables I was roasting to serve with the beef. Once the beef had rested I returned it to the oven to cook with high heat for 10 minutes. The result? A perfectly seared crust and an even pink interior. You will notice that the meat remains very pink on the interior, this is because there is so little moisture loss with this method of cooking. Embedding some thinly sliced garlic into the roast and cooking it with some fresh thyme adds a lot of flavor to the meat during the slow cooking phase. INGREDIENTS 1-3lb beef tenderloin tied and trimmed 2 cloves garlic, slivered 3 sprigs of fresh thyme or ½ tsp mixed Italian seasoning Olive oil PREPARATION Make a few small incisions around the roast with a sharp knife and insert the slivered garlic. Rub the roast with some good olive oil and sprinkle with Kosher salt and freshly cracked pepper. Tuck the thyme sprigs under the string and set the roast aside for an hour to come to room temperature. Heat the oven in the Convection or Convection Roast mode at 200°F (100C). Place the meat on a shallow-rimmed baking pan (a rack is not necessary), and insert the oven meat probe. Program the probe to reach an internal temperature of 125F (52C). This first phase of cooking will take approximately 40 - 50 minutes. When the meat probe signals the programmed internal temperature has been reached remove the roast from the oven and set it aside to rest for 20 minutes. The oven temperature can now be increased to 375°F (190C) or 400°F (205C) for larger-capacity ovens and any vegetables or side dishes you plan to serve with the roast can be added at this time. Once the roast has rested, return it to the oven and cook for 10 minutes until the exterior is nicely browned. Remove the roast from the oven, cut the strings and remove the thyme sprigs before slicing the roast into individual servings.

  • Oven Baked Chicken Thighs with Lemons and Olives

    Roasting bone-in chicken thighs with lemon and olives definitely adds to the flavor of this easy to prepare sheet pan chicken meal.  YOUR RECIPE FOR CONVECTION COOKING! Anchor 1 Oven Baked Chicken Thighs with Lemons and Olives Convection (True Convection) or Convection Roast Mode A Moroccan-inspired feast with roasted chicken, olives, onions, saffron rice, and asparagus with lemon wedges. Roasting bone-in chicken pieces definitely adds to the flavor of this easy-to-prepare sheet-pan chicken meal. Surprisingly, even the olives seem to taste better cooked with their pits, although if I am serving this for a party, I always use unpitted olives, just to be safe. Always wanting to make good use of my appliances, I steamed a simple rice and orzo pilaf from Trader Joe's and some asparagus. This meal is perfect for “fast food”: very little prep, fast cooking, and amazingly delicious. INGREDIENTS 4 - whole chicken legs, thigh, and leg separated 1 - tablespoon smoked paprika (I used mild, but use the spicy one if you prefer) ½ - teaspoon mixed Italian seasoning ½ - red onion, cut in ¼” thick slices 2 - small lemons, sliced (the mild flavor of Meyer lemons works well) ½ - cup Castelvetrano or Manzanilla olives PREPARATION Heat the oven in the Convection or Convection Roast Mode to 400 degrees. Start by patting the chicken pieces dry with a paper towel. Then, place them in a large shallow bowl and season with kosher salt and cracked pepper. Sprinkle the smoked paprika and Italian seasoning over the chicken. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil and gently toss to ensure all the chicken pieces are evenly coated. Add the onion and lemon, then spread them onto a rimmed baking sheet. Cook for 20 minutes, then fold in the olives for the final 10 minutes.

  • Spanish Potato Omelet (Tortilla de patatas)

    This Spanish potato omelet with red onion, green onions, eggs and spices baked in a convection oven is the easiest method to prepare this this. YOUR RECIPE FOR CONVECTION COOKING! Anchor 1 Spanish Potato Omelet (Tortilla de patatas) Convection or Convection Bake Mode Spanish Potato Omelet or Tortilla de patatas You will find many recipes online with different methods for making a Spanish Potato Omelet (Tortilla de Patatas), but cooking it in a convection oven has to be the easiest. Traditionally, you fry the potatoes, and when you cook the tortilla, you need to flip it. With the convection method, you can eliminate these steps and achieve great results. One of the tricks is that you heat a cast iron pan to the smoke point. This gives the tortilla that beautiful brown color and prevents it from sticking to the pan. I promise you won't go back once you try this method! This recipe makes a [8-12] serving omelet. INGREDIENTS 9 large eggs (or ten small one) 1 medium red onion 4 medium to large potatoes Salt Pepper 1 green onion Seasoning blend (optional) Recipe ingredients PREPARATION Heat the oven to 400°F in the Convection or Convection Bake mode. Peel and cut the onion into ¼ inch slices. Place them on a rimmed baking sheet and toss them with olive oil. Peel and cut the potatoes into ½ inch slices and toss them with salt and pepper in olive oil. Place the onions in the oven and set the timer for 5 minutes. After this initial 5 minutes, add the potatoes to the pan and continue cooking for an additional 15 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven and set aside to cool for at least 15 minutes or more. Reduce the oven temperature to 330 F. Beat the eggs with salt, pepper, and your preferred seasoning blend and stir in the sliced green onion. I find a dry garlic seasoning blend, adds great flavor. Add the cooled potatoes and onions to the egg mix. Combine well and set aside. Heat 10 - 12" cast iron pan on medium heat to the smoking point. This step is important as it helps to prevent the omelet from sticking to the pan. Brush the pan's interior, including the sides, with 1.5 tablespoons of oil. Pour the egg and potato mix into the hot pan and immediately place it in the oven the oven. Cook for 15 - 20 minutes until set. Carefully remove the pan from the oven and immediately turn the tortilla out of the pan to prevent the residual heat from the pan overcooking the tortilla.
