- Grilled Pork Chops - Slow Cooking Method
Slow cooking method for grilling pork chops that will yield moist and tender results. Start with your oven and finish at the grill YOUR RECIPE FOR CONVECTION COOKING! Anchor 1 Grilled Pork Chops - Slow Cooking Method Low Temperature Cooking Succulent slow-cooked pork chops served with a side of tangy chutney, perfect for a hearty meal. Grilling meat brings out an abundance of flavor, but the grill's high heat can also dry foods out, so what's the solution? Begin by cooking the meat at low temperatures in your Convection or Steam oven and just give the meat a quick finish over high heat. The result? A perfect flavorful sear and meat that is not dried out. I used two different types of pork chops and both worked out well cooked at a low temperature for about 30-40 minutes then finished on the grill. Pork blade chops cut from the pork shoulder have more marbling and handle the grill's high heat well. Left-over grilled pork blade steak is excellent added to fried rice or a ramen bowl. Pork loin chops are typically cut quite thick and have less marbling can be tricky but they were perfect when cooked this way as well. I use 200 degrees for the slow cooking but you can go as low as 160 degrees, just allow a little extra time. Some grilled pineapple slices would of course be perfect as an accompaniment to these grilled chops. Ingredients 2 bone-in pork loin chops 2 pork blade chops 2 tbsp BBQ dry rub seasoning 2 tbsp heat-tolerant vegetable oil BBQ sauce optional Preparation Heat the oven in the Convection or Convection Bake mode at 200 degrees or heat the Steam oven in the Combination Convection Steam Mode at 200 degrees. Place the chops on a shallow rimmed baking sheet, season with your preferred BBQ seasoning, and coat each side of the chops with the oil. I didn’t add salt because the dry rub had a fair amount but add salt to taste. Cook for 30 minutes, brush the chops with the BBQ sauce is using, and finish the cooking on the grill, allowing approximately 4 minutes per side.

- Crispy Cheddar Cocktail Crackers
These delicious crispy shortbread crackers, with sharp cheddar cheese and a hint of cayenne pepper, are perfect for serving with wine or cocktails but are also delicious served with soup. YOUR RECIPE FOR CONVECTION COOKING! Anchor 1 Crispy Cheddar Cocktail Crackers Convection or Convection Bake Mode Crispy Cheddar Cocktail Crackers These delicious crispy shortbread crackers, with sharp cheddar cheese and a hint of cayenne pepper, are perfect for serving with wine or cocktails but are also delicious served with soup. The crispness comes from incorporating rice crisp cereal into the dough, and the hint of cayenne adds a nice subtle jolt. Once mixed, the dough is formed into 2 logs and chilled before slicing the cookies into ¼” rounds. Since this recipe makes about 50 cookies, you only need to slice the amount you need, and the remainder of the log can be frozen. When making these cookies, be sure to bring the butter to room temperature before mixing the dough, and also allow at least an hour of chilling time once the dough is mixed before baking. If you are baking the entire batch at one time you could bake 45 cookies on 3 cookie sheets or you could bake them in two batches. The great thing about baking cookies in convection is that you don’t have to rotate the trays to get even results. INGREDIENTS 1 cup unsalted butter, softened 10 oz sharp or extra sharp cheddar cheese, grated 2 cups all-purpose flour ¼ tsp salt ½ tsp cayenne pepper 2 ½ cups rice crisp cereal Recipe ingredients PREPARATION Whisk the flour, salt, and cayenne pepper together in a small bowl and set aside. Beat the butter and cheese in a mixer until well blended, then gradually beat in the flour mixture. When well incorporated, stir in the rice crisp cereal slowly to form a stiff dough. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured rolling mat and divide it in half. Form each half into a roughly 7” long roll and wrap in plastic wrap. The dough must be chilled for at least an hour before baking, or it can be refrigerated overnight or frozen. Heat the oven in the Convection or Convection Bake mode to 325 F/165 C to bake the cookies. Slice the log into ¼” widths and place it on a parchment-lined cookie sheet. Bake for 12 - 14 minutes until crisp and golden. Slide onto cookie racks to cool. Makes approximately 50 cookies.

- Gougères with Creamy Artichoke Cheese Filling
They can be baked in advance and quickly reheated before serving, and extras can be frozen and reheated as needed. YOUR RECIPE FOR CONVECTION COOKING! Anchor 1 Gougères with Creamy Artichoke Cheese Filling Convection, Convection Bake A delicious plate of golden-brown gougères, or cheese puffs, showcasing their airy texture and savory appeal. Light, one-bite appetizers that can be served warm or at room temperature and are easy for guests to eat are ideal when entertaining. These savory Gougère with a creamy cheese and artichoke filling come together quickly and cook to perfection in Convection. They can be baked in advance and quickly reheated before serving, and extras can be frozen and reheated as needed. The pastry, known as Choux pastry, is very versatile and a great recipe to have in your repertoire. Choux pastry can be used for savory appetizers or, with some added sugar, for desserts such as cream puffs and eclairs. For best results when baking multiple trays at once in Convection, use the same type of pan on each rack. The tray can be lined with parchment or a silicone liner, but be sure to never place a liner on the floor of your oven. Recipe ingredients INGREDIENTS For the Choux Pastry ½ cup water ½ cup milk 1 stick of unsalted butter, cut into chunks 1 cup unbleached all-purpose flour Pinch of kosher salt 4 large, room-temperature eggs For the Filling ½ cup marinated artichoke hearts drained and finely chopped ½ cup room temperature cream cheese ½ cup grated Gruyère cheese Combine the ingredients by hand or in a mini food processor PREPARATION Combine the water, milk, butter, and salt in a heavy medium-sized saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. When the liquid boils, add the flour all at once and stir it in with a strong spatula or wooden spoon to form a smooth dough. Reduce the heat to low and stir until the mixture dries out and pulls away from the pan. Scrape the dough into a bowl and set aside to cool for a minute. Meanwhile, heat the oven in the Convection or Convection Bake mode to 375 F/ 190 C and line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Beat the eggs into the dough, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Fold in the filling and add a few grinds of pepper. Carefully transfer the dough to a pastry bag fitted with a ½” round tip and pipe tablespoon-sized mounds, spaced 2” apart, onto the baking sheets. Bake for 18 - 20 minutes or until golden and slightly crisp. Makes 24 - 28 PRINTE OUR RECIPE Gougeres with Creamy Artichoke Cheese Filling .pdf Download PDF • 74KB WANT TO LEARN MORE?

- How to Cook Salmon at a Low Temperature in Convection
When cooking a salmon at a Low Temperature, the fish will be moist and flavorful. We first sear the fish and to the oven we go! YOUR RECIPE FOR CONVECTION COOKING! Anchor 1 How to Cook Salmon at a Low Temperature in Convection Convection Mode (True Convection) Convection-roasted Atlantic salmon with sautéed greens and roasted potatoes, elegantly presented. Cooking foods at low temperatures, especially delicate fish, helps keep the fish really moist and flavorful. For best results, we first sear the fish on one side, gently turn it over then place the pan in the Combi-steam or Convection oven to finish cooking. This technique works well with any meaty fish, just take care not to hurry the searing step by turning the fish too soon, otherwise, it will stick to the pan. For best results in a Convection oven use the Convection mode 180 - 200 degrees. If you have a Combi-steam oven, and it doesn’t have a dedicated Low-Temperature mode then just use Combi-steam 180 - 200 degrees. INGREDIENTS 2 fillets of meaty fish such as salmon, halibut, sea bass or wild cod 1 tbsp unsalted butter 1 tbsp olive oil ½ lemon, juice only PREPARATION Pat the fillets dry with a paper towel and season with your preferred seasoning and a sprinkle of Kosher salt and freshly cracked pepper. Heat the Combi-steam oven in the Low-Temperature or Combi-steam Mode 180 - 200 degrees. Or heat your Convection oven in the Convection mode to 180 - 200 degrees. Heat an ovenproof skillet over moderate heat and when hot add the butter and oil. Carefully lay the fish into the pan and let it cook undisturbed for a few minutes. Gently lift one corner and if the fish releases easily then carefully turn each piece. Now place the pan in the heated oven and cook for 6 - 8 minutes. Center cuts of very meaty fish may take up to 15 minutes to cook through. Don’t hurry the process the results are worth waiting for. Squeeze the lemon juice over the fish and baste with the pan juices before serving. Serves 2 Low Temperature Roast Salmon .pdf Download PDF • 100KB WANT TO LEARN MORE?

- Roasted Butternut Squash Soup with Ancho Chili
The great thing about a Convection oven is that it is easy to cook several different foods at once. Roast your chicken while you roast butternut squash with ancho chili for soup YOUR RECIPE FOR CONVECTION COOKING! Anchor 1 Roasted Butternut Squash Soup with Ancho Chili Convection Bake Mode Creamy caramelized butternut squash soup served with savory pastries and fresh salad. The great thing about a Convection oven is that it is incredibly easy to cook several different foods at one time. All it takes is a little planning. Best of all it’s so easy to quickly chop a butternut squash and add it to the oven to cook while you are cooking another dish at the same time. Since one of the benefits of convection cooking is being able to cook on multiple racks at one time with no transfer of flavor, it’s a shame to miss the opportunity to get another meal started. This recipe serves 4 INGREDIENTS 1 medium butternut squash, peeled, seeds removed, cut into 1 - 2” chunks 1 tbsp olive oil ¼ tsp Ancho chili powder 1 tsp toasted Pistachio or Walnut oil (optional) Soup Base 1 medium yellow onion, coarsely chopped 2 stalks celery, strings removed, cut into 2” chunks 2 medium carrots, peeled and cut into 2” chunks 3 cloves garlic, peeled and smashed ¼ tsp dried oregano 4 cups chicken or vegetable stock PREPARATION Heat the oven in the Convection Bake Mode 375 degrees. Toss the cubed butternut squash with the olive oil and chili powder or spice of your preference. The squash should be lightly coated with oil, so drizzle a little more oil over the cubed squash if needed. Spread the squash onto a rimmed baking pan and bake on the lower rack for 25 - 30 minutes until the flesh has softened. Meanwhile prepare the soup base. Soup Heat a 2 qt saucepan over moderate heat. Add 2 tbsp unsalted butter and a little olive oil. When the butter is sizzling and beginning to brown, stir in the onion and cook over moderate heat until translucent. Stir in the celery and carrots and cook for about 5 minutes on medium low heat taking care not to burn the onions. Add the garlic and oregano and cook for a few minutes then stir in the stock. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil and simmer for 20 minutes. Stir in the cooked squash then puree. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed. A nice way to finish this soup before serving is with a drizzle of a specialty oil such as roasted pistachio or walnut oil, it just adds that little extra depth of flavor.

- Braised Chicken with Lemon, Mint and Almonds
This zesty, easy-to-prepare braised chicken dish is started on the cooktop and finished in the oven to gently cook the meat while rendering the skin golden and crispy. YOUR RECIPE FOR CONVECTION COOKING! Anchor 1 Braised Chicken with Lemon, Mint and Almonds Convection Roast or Convection Bake Mode Savory roasted chicken cooked with lemon, herbs, and almonds over a bed of pearled couscous, garnished with fresh mint. This zesty, easy-to-prepare braised chicken dish is started on the cooktop and finished in the oven to gently cook the meat while rendering the skin golden and crispy. The chicken is finished at a moderate cooking temperature in the oven, and because the pieces cook fairly quickly, it isn't necessary to cover the dish. While perfect for a quick dinner, it's also easy to increase the quantities if preparing this dish for a larger gathering. A side dish of couscous mixed with cooked lentils or bulgur wheat pairs really well with the bright flavors of the lemon and mint. INGREDIENTS 8 bone-in skin-on chicken thighs or a combination of legs and thighs 1 cup fresh mint leaves, coarsely chopped 2 lemons, zested and juiced 2 tbsp olive oil 6 cloves garlic, coarsely chopped ½ cup dry white wine 1 cup chicken broth ¼ cup slivered almonds Recipe ingredients. PREPARATION At least one hour before cooking, marinate the chicken pieces by combining the chicken, lemon juice, half the lemon zest, half of the chopped mint leaves, a large pinch of kosher salt, and some freshly ground pepper. Heat the oven in the Convection Roast or Convection Bake mode to 325℉/173℃. Before proceeding, wipe the chicken pieces dry with a paper towel, reserving the marinade. Heat an oven-proof saute pan or braising pan over moderate heat. Add 2 tbsp of olive oil and when the oil is hot, arrange the chicken pieces in the pan, allow them to brown before turning to brown on the other side. Lower the heat to very low, remove the chicken pieces from the pan and set aside. Brown the chicken pieces and set them aside. Skim off any excess fat, then add the garlic to the pan and cook over very low heat for 2 -3 minutes until softened, taking care not to brown the garlic. Increase the heat to medium-high, add the wine, and cook to reduce by half. Add the chicken broth and the reserved marinade and cook over moderate heat for a few minutes. Return the chicken pieces to the pan, nestling them into the sauce, skin side up. Place the pan in the oven and set the timer for 25 minutes. When the timer elapses, the chicken should be golden, and the sauce should be slightly thickened. If additional browning or crisping is desired, change the oven mode to Broil Medium or 450℉/232℃ for a few minutes. Before serving, garnish with the remaining lemon zest, chopped mint, and toasted almonds. The slivered almonds can be toasted dry in a skillet or in the Convection Bake mode at 350℉/176℃ in the oven for 6 - 7 minutes.

Tri-Tip - plan 40 minutes cooking time for a 2lb roast and 10 minutes resting time. Use the oven meat probe if your oven is equipped with one set to 130 for medium rare. YOUR RECIPE FOR CONVECTION COOKING! Anchor 1 Roast Trip Tip with Potatoes and Peppers Convection Roast Mode Oven Roast Tri Tip Roasted Potatoes with Peppers, Onion & Green Beans Serves 4 - 6 People Planning Tips for Cooking this Meal in Convection Tri-Tip - plan 40 minutes cooking time for a 2lb roast and 10 minutes resting time. Use the oven meat probe if your oven is equipped with one set to 130 for medium rare. Roasted Vegetables - plan 30- 35 minutes cooking time. Organize the oven racks, have one rack in rack position 2 counting up from the bottom and the other on rack position 4 or 5. Preheat the oven in the Convection Roast Mode 325 degrees. INGREDIENTS 2lb - unseasoned Tri Tip roast 1 - teaspoons kosher salt 1 - tablespoon of your favorite BBQ dry rub 1 - tablespoon vegetable oil PREPARATION Like most meats Tri Tip needs only a blast of high heat to bring out the flavor, but if the majority of the cooking is done at lower temperatures it will also be very tender and juicy. Resting before slicing is very important and be sure to slice the meat across the grain for best results. There are many online videos that give excellent instruction on slicing Tri Tip. Place the meat on a rimmed baking sheet and massage the oil into the meat. Combine the seasonings and rub into the meat. The flavor of meat is always better if the dry rub is done in advance of cooking. Place in the oven on the upper rack and cook for 30 minutes at 325 degrees. Increase the oven temperature to 425 degrees and cook the roast for another 10 minutes to crisp the exterior. Remove the meat from the oven and rest it on a cutting board, don’t leave it on the hot pan. Rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Summer Meal One .pdf Download PDF • 177KB WANT TO LEARN MORE?

- Convection Bake Flatbread with Feta and Mint
The Convection Bake mode is ideal to bake a flatbread with feta and mint. The heating elements and circulating air will ensure the retention of moisture and a delicious crust YOUR RECIPE FOR CONVECTION COOKING! Anchor 1 Convection Bake Flatbread with Feta and Mint Convection Bake Mode Convection-Bake Flatbread with Feta Cheese and Mint The Convection Bake mode is ideal for baking thin-crusted flatbreads. The bottom heating element directs heat to the pan or baking stone placed on the bottom rack of the oven, while the top heating element gently cooks the top, with the Convection fan circulating the heated air for even baking, great results are guaranteed. The recipe for flatbread is similar to pizza but uses less flour and yeast and the dough only requires one rise of approximately 45 minutes. Remember when proofing in the Combi-Steam or Convection oven it is not necessary to cover the dough. Because the dough is so thin be sure to keep the toppings on the light side. Feta cheese mixed with mint and oregano and mixed with some ricotta or cottage cheese for creaminess makes a flavorful combination that is delicious complement to any meal. Ingredients ¾ cup warm water 1 tsp active dry or instant yeast 1 tsp granulated sugar 2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour 1 tsp kosher salt 1 tbsp olive oil Preparation Arrange the oven racks so you can proof and bake on the lowest rack and preheat the oven in the Proof Mode. The temperature will automatically default to 100℉. Combine the water, yeast, and sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer and whisk to combine. Place the bowl in the oven for 5 minutes or cover loosely with a light kitchen towel. If the yeast has proved the mixture will be slightly frothy in which case proceed to make the dough. With the stand mixer on low speed add the flour oil and salt to the mixture and mix on low speed to form a shaggy dough. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it for a few minutes until it comes together and forms a smooth ball. Add a little extra flour to your hands if the dough is sticky. Transfer the dough to a lightly oiled clean mixing bowl and place it in the oven for 45 minutes for the dough to rise. When the dough has doubled in size and springs back from a light touch it is ready to roll. Change the oven mode to Convection Bake and select 475℉. Place a baking stone or heavy oven baking pan on the lower rack. Punch the dough down and divide it into two equal pieces and roll one into a thin oval or rectangle. Place one dough on a pizza peel sprinkled with cornmeal or onto a sheet of parchment if baking on a baking sheet. Poke your fingers over the dough and drizzle with a little olive oil then add the prepared topping. Bake for 8 - 10 minutes until the crust has cooked through and the top is golden. Repeat with the second dough. Makes 2 flatbreads PRINT OUR RECIPE Convection Bake Flatbread with Feta and Mint .pdf Download PDF • 275KB WANT TO LEARN MORE? Click Here ELEVATE YOUR BAKING WITH STEAM!

- Really Easy and Delicious French Peach Tart
This tart is incredibly easy to make, yet it looks stunning and tastes delicious. While the classic version uses apples, I love highlighting the abundance of summer fruits by using peaches instead. YOUR RECIPE FOR CONVECTION COOKING! Anchor 1 Really Easy and Delicious French Peach Tart Convection Bake Mode Golden peach tart with a flaky crust, perfectly baked and ready to enjoy. This tart is incredibly easy to make, yet it looks stunning and tastes delicious. While the classic version uses apples, I love highlighting the abundance of summer fruits by using peaches instead. Simply layer sliced peaches over a sheet of puff pastry, brush with melted butter and lemon zest, and sprinkle with sugar. That’s all you need to do before baking. After it comes out of the oven, finish the tart with a glossy brush of peach jam reduction—a step that takes less than ten minutes but elevates the whole dessert. Baking the tart in convection-bake mode gives you a crisp, flaky pastry and juicy, perfectly cooked peaches. The circulating hot air ensures even baking and helps the tart stay moist without becoming soggy or dry. INGREDIENTS 1 sheet of Puff Pastry (10.2 x 12.6 inch sheet) 3 peaches (hard ones) ¼ (50 grams) cup of regular sugar 3 tablespoons of butter Lemon zest from one lemon 1 lemon juice 2 tablespoons of peach jam or any jam you have Recipe ingredients. PREPARATION Defrost one sheet of puff pastry, preferably overnight in the refrigerator. It's better to work with the puff pastry while it is cold; once it is defrosted, place it on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Use a fork to prick the dough at regular intervals across the bottom. Keep the baking sheet with the puff pastry in the refrigerator while you slice the peaches. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) in convection-bake mode. You will need three peaches, thinly sliced. Next, melt the butter at a very low heat and add the lemon zest. Place the baking sheet with the puff pastry with the long edge parallel to the counter. Start lining a row of sliced peaches parallel to the counter, but leave a half-inch border. You will need to leave a border on all sides. Continue to line up rows of peaches until you have covered the entire pastry sheet. Lining up the peaches on the pastry. Brush the peaches with the melted butter and sprinkle the sugar over them. Bake for about 30 minutes, although check the tart at about 25 minutes. Don’t forget that ovens differ from one another, so yours might not cook like mine. While the tart is baking, place the two tablespoons of jam in a small saucepan. Add the juice from one lemon and a couple of tablespoons of water. Place on the stove at a medium heat and whisk to dissolve the jam. Lower the heat and cook until the mixture has thickened. This will take only a few minutes. Bon appétit! It serves 12 portions.

- Grilled Seafood Pasta with Shrimp, Salmon, and Scallops
Pasta is an easy fast meal to pull together and it’s pretty much a blank palate for any type of sauce or toppings like broiled shrimp, salmon, and scallops. YOUR RECIPE FOR CONVECTION COOKING! Anchor 1 Grilled Seafood Pasta with Shrimp, Salmon, and Scallops Broil Mode A delicious seafood pasta with shrimp and scallops, garnished with parsley, served with tomato sauce and Parmesan cheese. Pasta is an easy fast meal to pull together and it’s pretty much a blank palate for any type of sauce or toppings. One of my favorite “fast” pasta meals includes a topping of oven-grilled shrimp, salmon and scallops mixed with some chopped linguica sausage or bacon for added flavor. If using shrimp and scallops from your freezer, defrost them in advance and blot with paper towels so they don’t give off too much liquid. This recipe makes a generous portion for 4 people but it’s easy to scale down if needed. In order that everything is ready to serve at the same time, allow 12 - 14 minutes to cook and drain the pasta and toss with the sauce, and 4 - 6 minutes to broil the seafood. Because of the high moisture content of all the seafood, the drier heat of the Broil Mode with no Convection will give the best results. PREPARATION Line a rimmed baking sheet with some paper towels spread the seafood onto the pan in one layer and blot with paper towels to remove excess liquid. Heat the pasta water, cook the pasta and mix with the bottled sauce when drained. Preheat the oven in the Broil Mode 480°F or Hi. Discard the paper towels (compost) and line the pan with some foil, shiny side down. Toss the seafood with the remaining ingredients and spread it onto the prepared pan, cook for 4 - 6 minutes until the seafood has cooked through and is browning on the edges. Remember to keep the oven door closed when broiling and have a landing space ready to place the very hot tray you will be taking out of the oven. Spoon the seafood over the pasta tossed with the sauce and garnish with chopped parsley. Serves 4 INGREDIENTS ½ - lb. uncooked shrimp, shelled and deveined ½ - lb. scallops, cut into half or thirds if very large 1 - lb. salmon, cut into 1” cubes ½ - spicy Linguica sausage, halved lengthwise and cut into 1” cubes (optional….but terrific) 1 - cup loosely packed fresh parsley leaves, chopped 3 - cloves garlic, chopped ¼ - teaspoon dried Italian seasoning Dash of dried Chili flakes (optional) 2 - tablespoons olive or vegetable oil 1 - lb. spaghetti or linguini 1 - jar of vodka sauce PRINT OUR RECIPE Grilled Seafood Pasta with Shrimp and Salmon .pdf Download PDF • 100KB WANT TO LEARN MORE?

- Convection Bake Pita Bread
The Convection Bake mode is ideal for baking quick-cooking pita bread. In this mode, both the bottom and top heating elements are on while the fan circulates the heated air; ideal to bake pitas YOUR RECIPE FOR CONVECTION COOKING! Anchor 1 Convection Bake Pita Bread Convection Bake Mode Pita bread baked on a pizza stone in a convection oven. The Convection Bake mode is the perfect choice for baking quick-cooking pita bread. In this mode, both the bottom and top heating elements are engaged while the fan circulates the heated air around the oven cooking each bread to perfection. The bread can be baked on a rimmed baking sheet or a pizza stone placed on rack position 1 close to the bottom heating element. Pita bread uses the same ingredients as pizza dough; however, the method of preparation is slightly different. I have been using the recipe written by David Tannis from NYT Cooking for many years except of course I use either my Convection or Combi-Steam oven for proofing. The recipe comes together easily and doesn’t require using a stand mixer. Typically when baking in Convection lowering the temperature by 25 degrees is recommended however keeping the higher temperature when baking this quick-cooking bread will ensure the best results. INGREDIENTS 1 cup lukewarm water 2 tsp active dry yeast ½ tsp white sugar ¼ cup whole wheat flour 2 ½ cups unbleached all-purpose flour 1 tsp kosher salt 2 tbsp olive oil PREPARATION Arrange the racks in the oven, placing one rack on the lowest tray slide and select the Proof Mode, the temperature will default to 100°F. Combine the water, yeast, and sugar in a large mixing bowl and stir to dissolve. Whisk in the whole wheat flour and place in the oven for 10 - 15 minutes until frothy. Add the salt, olive oil, and 2 cups of flour to the sponge and stir with a wooden spoon to form a shaggy dough. Knead in the bowl for a minute, adding a dusting of flour if needed. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface, and knead gently for 2 minutes until the dough comes together and is smooth. Cover the dough loosely with a light kitchen towel and rest for 10 minutes then knead again for another 2 minutes. Add small amounts of the remaining flour as needed but the dough should be soft and a bit moist. Pace the dough in a lightly oiled mixing bowl and place in the oven for 45 minutes to 1 hour until the dough has doubled in size. Remove the dough from the oven, place a pizza stone or heavy baking sheet on the lower rack, and heat the oven in the Convection Bake mode 475°F. Punch down the dough, divide it into 8 equal pieces and roll each one into a ball. Cover the dough balls with a light kitchen towel and rest for 10 minutes. Roll the dough balls one-by-one into a 6 -8” disk, adding a little more flour to prevent sticking if needed. Bake the bread two or three at a time depending on the size of the baking tray or stone. Bake for 2 minutes until puffed then turn with tongs and bake for one minute more. The bread should be pale with only a few brown spots. Makes 8 - 10 Note: I did try baking the Pita bread in my Combi-Steam oven but since the highest temperature is 450 degrees, it wasn’t hot enough for the bread to puff and bake correctly.

- Almond Chocolate Citrus Cookies
These cookies are incredibly easy to make, but because there is no flour to bind the mixture, it is important to give the mixture a good chill before rolling and baking the cookies YOUR RECIPE FOR CONVECTION COOKING! Anchor 1 Almond Chocolate Citrus Cookies Convection or Convection Bake Mode Almond Chocolate Citrus Cookies These cookies are incredibly easy to make, but because there is no flour to bind the mixture, it is important to give the mixture a good chill before rolling and baking the cookies. Once baked, they can be drizzled with a little confectioners’ sugar icing and a little more orange zest. This recipe yields approximately 34 cookies. Remember that when baking in convection, two racks can be baked at the same time with even results. This recipe can easily be doubled if a larger quantity is desired. INGREDIENTS For the cookies 2 cups raw almonds, toasted ½ cup granulated sugar 3 ½ oz mini milk or dark chocolate chips ¼ tsp cinnamon 1 egg 2 tsp orange zest 1 tbsp orange juice 1 tsp lemon zest ½ tsp lemon extract 1 tsp vanilla extract For the frosting ½ cup confectioners’ sugar ¼ tsp lemon extract ¼ tsp vanilla extract 1 - 2 tsp water Recipe ingredients PREPARATION To toast the almonds, heat the oven in the Convection Bake or Bake mode to 350 F/ 180 C. Spread the almonds onto a rimmed baking sheet and bake for 8 - 10 minutes. Cool the almonds, then process them into very small chunks in a food processor. Combine the almonds, sugar, chocolate, and cinnamon in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, beat the egg in a small bowl and stir in the orange and lemon zest, orange juice, lemon extract, and almond extracts. Pour the egg mixture into the almond mixture and stir well to combine. Chill the mixture for at least two hours until slightly stiff. Heat the oven in the Convection or Convection Bake mode to 325F/ 165C. Roll the cookie mix into small 1” balls and place them 2” apart on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 12 - 14 minutes or until the bottoms are lightly browned. Remove to a wire rack to cool. To make the icing, combine the confectioners’ sugar with the extracts and just enough water to achieve a good spreading consistency. Drizzle over the cookies and zest a little orange over the cookies for garnish. Makes 34 PRINT OUR RECIPE Almond Chocolate Citrus Cookies .pdf Download PDF • 232KB WANT TO LEARN MORE?

- Chipotle Pork Tenderloin with Roasted Grapes
With flavorful marinade there is no need for searing and roasting the tenderloin with grapes, a side of baked acorn squash is a recipe for an easy delicious meal. YOUR RECIPE FOR CONVECTION COOKING! Anchor 1 Chipotle Pork Tenderloin with Roasted Grapes Convection Roast or Convection Bake Mode Herb-crusted pork tenderloin roasted with juicy red grapes creates a savory-sweet delight on a sheet pan. Convection is ideal for cooking lean tender cuts of meat such as pork tenderloin. A flavorful marinade and roasting the tenderloin with grapes and a side of baked acorn squash is a recipe for an easy delicious meal. For the best flavor, the tenderloins should be marinated for at least 2 hours or overnight. Vacuum sealing the tenderloins with the marinade will do the trick in 15 minutes. Because these tenderloins cook quickly at a moderate temperature they can be cooked directly on a rimmed baking pan. INGREDIENTS 3 tbsp olive oil 3 tbsp soy sauce 3 tbsp canned chipotle chilis in Adobo sauce, chopped 5 cloves garlic, minced 1 tsp ground cumin 3 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro leaves 2 pork tenderloins approx. 1lb each Red or purple grapes, cut into clusters PREPARATION Combine the first 6 ingredients in a glass dish, add the tenderloins and marinate for 2 hours or overnight. Heat the oven in the Convection Roast or Convection Bake mode at 350℉ (176℃). Remove the tenderloins from the marinade and place them on a shallow-rimmed baking pan. Toss the grape clusters with a little olive oil and arrange them around the pork. Place the pan in the oven and cook for 15 - 20 minutes until the tenderloins are firm to the touch. Meanwhile, pour the marinade into a small saucepan and simmer for approximately 10 minutes until it is reduced by half. Allow the tenderloins to rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Arrange the meat on a platter with the grape clusters and drizzle with the reduced sauce.

- Vegetarian Tortilla Casserole with Zucchini, Corn, and Black Beans
Begin by roasting both the zucchini, corn in the convection mode for 15 minutes at 425°F. Then you will layer the roasted vegies with the tortillas, salsa and cheese. YOUR RECIPE FOR CONVECTION COOKING! Anchor 1 Vegetarian Tortilla Casserole with Zucchini, Corn, and Black Beans Convection Roast or Convection Bake Mode A vibrant tortilla casserole with fresh salad, avocado slices, and seasoned chicken on a patterned table setting. To prepare this meal you will begin by roasting both the vegetables and chicken in the convection mode on separate trays for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, remove the vegetables, lower the oven temperature, and set the timer for 15 minutes. Layer the vegetables into the casserole with the tortillas, beans, salsa, and cheese, and pop it back in the oven for 15 to 20 minutes. Take the chicken out after 15 minutes and set it aside to cool while the casserole continues to heat through. This recipe uses mild salsa but it is easy to tweak it to your preferred taste and spice it up a bit. The important thing is to develop a comfort level when making oven meals using Convection. INGREDIENTS 2 medium zucchini, cubed 1 red pepper, cubed 2 cups corn kernels ½ red onion cut into ½” dice 3 cloves garlic, coarsely chopped 1 tbsp ground cumin ½ tsp dried oregano ½ tsp chili powder (optional) 2 tbsp vegetable or olive oil 1 jar salsa 1 can black beans, drained 3 cups Mexican blend grated cheese 8 corn tortillas PREPARATION Heat the oven in the Convection Roast or Convection Bake mode at 425 degrees. Combine the zucchini, pepper, corn kernels, onion, garlic, and seasonings in a bowl and add the oil. Toss until the vegetables are evenly coated with the oil and spread onto a large rimmed baking pan. Place the pan on rack position 1 or 2 close to the bottom heating element and cook for 15 minutes until the vegetables begin to caramelize around the edges. If baking some chicken at the same time place the seasoned chicken on a rimmed baking sheet on rack position 4 or 5 closer to the top heating element. Remove the vegetables from the oven after 15 minutes, and reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees. If baking some chicken at the same time, set the timer for 15 minutes to finish cooking the chicken. Add the beans and salsa to the baking pan with the vegetables and fold to distribute evenly. Now you are ready to assemble the casserole. Lightly oil the bottom of a casserole dish with several corn tortillas, cutting them as needed to cover the surface. Add half of the vegetable mixture to the pan and top with half of the cheese. Cover this layer with more tortillas, add the remaining vegetables, and top with the remaining cheese. Cover the dish loosely with foil, crimp the edges to seal, and place in the oven. Heat the casserole for another 15 minutes until the cheese has melted and is bubbling. Once the chicken has cooked for 30 minutes remove the tray from the oven and let the chicken cool slightly, that way you can slice it off the bone or keep it covered with some foil to keep warm to serve with the hot casserole.

- Chili Garlic Sauce Baked Chicken Wings
For the Chili Garlic Sauce Baked Chicken wings recipe I use Convection because I can cook several dishes at once. YOUR RECIPE FOR CONVECTION COOKING! Anchor 1 Chili Garlic Sauce Baked Chicken Wings Convection Roast or Convection Bake Mode A convection meal with chicken wings and meatballs cooked at once Nothing is more delicious than a meal that has several flavorful components to choose from and using Convection to cook several dishes at one time makes it easy. In this video, I am baking chili sauce chicken wings with some pork meatballs seasoned with garlic and ginger and steaming some rice and bok choy. Asian-influenced recipes are simple to prepare but all that great flavor comes from a combination of ingredients, so begin by measuring out all the ingredients you will need for each recipe for easy assembly. The chicken wings are seasoned with a dry rub and some oil before baking then tossed in a flavorful sauce when they come out of the oven. The ground pork is mixed with some seasoning and finely minced ginger and garlic then scooped into balls. Prep time is about 15 minutes and both dishes will cook for approximately 20 minutes in the oven. I used my steam oven to steam some rice and the greens and everything was ready to serve at one time. Ingredients For the Wings 2 lbs party wings 1 tsp ground paprika (smoked is fine) ¼ tsp garlic powder ¼ tsp turmeric ⅛ tsp cinnamon ⅛ tsp cayenne pepper 1 tsp Kosher salt 1 tsp granulated sugar (optional) 2 tbsp vegetable oil For the Sauce ¼ cup soy sauce ½ cup honey 1 tsp sesame oil with chili sauce 1 tsp freshly squeezed lime juice 1 tsp ground coriander 1 tsp cornstarch Preparation Heat the oven in the Convection Roast or Convection Bake mode at 425 degrees. Combine the chicken wings with the seasoning and oil and spread onto a rimmed baking pan, (foil lined for easy clean-up) Place the pan in the oven in the top part of the oven closer to the top heating element. If making the Asian Pork Meatballs with Garlic and Ginger at the same time, place the pan with the meatballs in the lower part of the oven. Set the timer, cook for 20 minutes then remove the meatballs. For added crispness, increase the oven temperature to 475 degrees and cook the chicken for another 5 - 8 minutes. To make the sauce, combine all the ingredients in a small saucepan except the cornstarch. Combine the cornstarch with a tablespoon or so of the cold sauce ingredients to make a slurry. Heat the sauce ingredients over moderate heat then stir in the slurry and cook till it thickens slights. Pour over the chicken before serving.
