- How to Roast Lamb Shoulder Roast in Convection
It’s good to know if you are cooking something like a lamb shoulder roast that will be in the oven for quite some time that you can cook a dessert at the same time. YOUR RECIPE FOR CONVECTION COOKING! Anchor 1 How to Roast Lamb Shoulder Roast in Convection Convection (True Convection) Roasted lamb slices with broccolini, chickpeas, wilted greens, and creamy feta cheese on a rustic plate. It’s good to know if you are cooking something like a lamb shoulder roast that will be in the oven for quite some time that you can cook a dessert at the same time. One of the greatest benefits of Convection cooking is the ability to cook an entire meal at one time with no transference of flavor. I am not suggesting you have to cook a cake at the same time but it’s good to know if you are cooking something like a lamb shoulder roast that will be in the oven for quite some time that you can cook a dessert at the same time. INGREDIENTS 1 - 2lb lamb shoulder roast 1 - tablespoon olive oil 1 - teaspoon herb’s de Provence OR 1 - tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary 4 - cloves garlic, minced Kosher salt & pepper Roasted Greens Chickpeas and Feta Cheese 1 - bunch Dino or red kale, stems removed, leaves cut into 2” pieces 3 - cloves garlic, minced 1 - tablespoon olive oil 1 - bunch broccolini, stems trimmed 1 - 14oz can chickpeas drained and slightly dried out Dash of dried red chili (optional) 4 - oz Feta cheese, sliced PREPARATION My cooking plan is to cook the lamb shoulder roast at 300 degrees Convection for about 1 ½ hours. The cake also cooks at 300 degrees and takes approximately 50 minutes to bake so I will cook that during the first hour the roast is in the oven. Once it’s out of the oven I will increase the temperature to 375 to make sure the lamb renders any fat and gets nice and crisp. The vegetables will only take about 12 - 15 minutes to cook so they go in at the very end. Combine the oil and seasonings and rub into the lamb, a few hours or even overnight in advance of cooking and let the lamb sit outside of the refrigerator for at least an hour before cooking. Heat the oven to 300 degrees, Convection, place the roast on a rack in a shallow pan and roast for 1 hour 15 mins. Increase the heat to 375 and cook for 15 minutes, remove from the oven and check the internal temperature, it should be 145 degrees, and set aside to rest before carving. Roasted Greens Chickpeas and Feta Cheese Combine the kale & minced garlic with the 2 teaspoons of olive oil and massage the oil into the leaves, add the chickpeas and toss well then fold in the broccolini and chili if using. Sprinkle with kosher salt and spread onto a rimmed baking sheet. Bake at 375 for 10 minutes then add the Feta cheese slices to the pan and cook for another few minutes until the cheese begins to melt.

- 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.

- Grilled Skirt Steak
Grilled Skirt Steak using the Convection Broil mode of your electric oven is one of the best ways to get a great sear while preserving the meat's natural juices. YOUR RECIPE FOR CONVECTION COOKING! Anchor 1 Grilled Skirt Steak Convection Broil Sliced beef grilled to perfection with Convection Broil, served with fresh greens and a vibrant corn salad. Grilling in an electric oven using the Convection Broil mode is one of the best ways to get a great sear while preserving the meat's natural juices. Broiling a corn salsa at the same time is an easy way to get a flavor-packed meal on the table with minimum fuss. Nonetheless, when using such high heat it is important to be well organized and have everything at the ready. Remember these important tips: Self-cleaning ovens have a catalyst that absorbs smoke and particulate matter at high temperatures but it is advisable to still run the overhead ventilation to keep the kitchen air clean. Organize the oven racks before you heat the oven, follow the manufacturer's recommendations for the pre-heat time and always broil with the door closed. Not closing the door can damage the electronics. The same cooking instructions can be used for gas ovens that use an Infra-Red broiler, which also excels at retaining moisture while searing. I used a marinated skirt steak from Trader Joe's and it was good but I feel the results with fresh skirt steak that has had a dry rub are even more flavorful. INGREDIENTS For the steak 1lb fresh or marinated skirt steak If using fresh steak, give it a dry rub with your favorite BBQ seasoning and drizzle it with a little vegetable oil. If using marinated steak, blot the steak to remove excess liquid and drizzle with a little vegetable oil. For the broiled corn salsa 2 cups corn kernels (defrosted if using frozen corn) 1 jalapeno pepper, coarsely chopped ½ small sweet onion or 1 shallot, coarsely chopped ½ tsp ground cumin, (optional) 2 cloves garlic, minced ½ cup fresh cilantro leaves, chopped 1 lime, juiced PREPARATION Turn on your overhead ventilation or downdraft on medium speed to set the airflow in the kitchen. Electric Convection ovens - heat the oven in the Convection Broil Mode Hi or 500 degrees. Gas Ovens - heat the oven in the Broil Mode. Place the meat on a 2-piece oven broil pan. Place in the oven close to the top heating with at least a 3” clearance. Close the door and set the timer for 6 minutes. If the meat is nicely seared then turn it otherwise cook for a few minutes longer. Cook for a few minutes less on the 2nd side and remove the meat from the hot pan to rest when it comes out of the oven. Combine the corn with the jalapeno and onion and toss with enough vegetable oil to coat. Spread onto a rimmed baking sheet and broil in the Convection Broil mode Hi or 475 degrees until the corn begins to char. Remove from the oven and scrape into a bowl, cool for a few minutes then stir in the garlic, cilantro, and lime juice. Season with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper. Slice the meat into thin slices against the grain and serve with the broiled salsa. Makes 2 - 3 servings Grilled Skirt Steak .pdf Download PDF • 105KB WANT TO LEARN MORE?

- Perfectly Cooked Flank Steak with Tomatillo Salsa
Sliced flank steak on a platter topped with corn salsa, surrounded by lime slices, tomatillos, and cilantro. The mood is appetizing and inviting. YOUR RECIPE FOR CONVECTION COOKING! Anchor 1 Perfectly Cooked Flank Steak with Tomatillo Salsa Convection Bake or Convection Roast + Convection Broil Grilled steak adorned with a corn salsa, surrounded by slices of fresh lime and garnished with cilantro, makes for a vibrant and appetizing presentation. Cooking a lean cut of beef, such as flank steak, in a convection oven is the ideal method to ensure the meat remains tender and juicy. In this recipe, the flank steak is first cooked at a low temperature of 250°F (120 °C) for 30 minutes, then finished using the Broil mode set to 475°F (245 °C) or High. Cooking the meat at a low temperature minimizes moisture loss, ensuring a great texture and flavor, with the high-heat finish adding the perfect amount of sizzle. Prior to cooking, the meat is marinated with a dry rub of flavorful seasonings, brushed with a little oil, and served with the broiled tomatillo corn salsa. Extra salsa is delicious served over scrambled eggs wrapped in a tortilla. Since the tomatillo salsa is also broiled, you can cook it together with the steak during the high-heat finish. Alternatively, if you have a second oven, it can be prepared while the steak is cooking at a low temperature. Once the steak is cooked, plan to rest it for 5 - 8 minutes, then cut it in half and slice each half thinly across the grain. INGREDIENTS For the flank steak 1 flank steak 1.5-2lbs (680-900 g) 1 tsp dried oregano 1 tsp ground cumin ½ tsp garlic powder Salt and pepper Seasoned flank steak ready for the oven. For the tomatillo salsa 6 - 8 tomatillos, coarsely chopped 2 ears of yellow corn, shucked 1 jalapeno chili, seeded, coarsely chopped 3 cloves garlic, coarsely chopped 1 shallot, coarsely chopped 2 tbsp vegetable oil ½ cup fresh cilantro leaves, chopped 1 tbsp fresh lime juice Tomatillo salsa ingredients. PREPARATION Combine the spices, salt, and pepper and rub into the flank steak to marinate for at least one hour or up to eight hours prior to cooking. Preheat the oven to 250°F (120 °C) in Convection Roast or Convection Bake mode. Be sure to arrange the oven racks first so that one rack is positioned high in the oven, close to the Broil element, to avoid having to move a hot rack for the final high-heat finish. Place the flank steak on a shallow, rimmed baking pan lined with foil, shiny side down. Spritz the steak with a little vegetable or olive oil and place it in the oven. Set the timer for 30 minutes. When the timer elapses, remove the steak and change the oven mode to Convection Broil, setting the temperature to 475°F (245 °C) or High. Allow the oven to heat for 5 minutes, then add the steak and cook for 6 - 8 minutes. (It isn’t necessary to turn the steak) Remove the pan from the oven and immediately place the steak on a cutting board or cool tray to rest for 5 - 8 minutes before slicing. To cook the tomatillo salsa, combine the tomatillos, corn, shallot, garlic, and jalapeno together with 1 tbsp of vegetable or olive oil. Spread the mixture onto a shallow, rimmed baking pan lined with foil, shiny side down. Heat the oven to Broil or Convection Broil mode at 475°F (250 °C) or High for 5 minutes. Place the tray in the oven and broil the vegetables until they begin to brown on the edges, about 6-8 minutes. Scrape the mixture into a bowl, stir in the chopped cilantro and lime juice, and add some sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.

- Convection Baked Blueberry Pie
The Convection Bake mode is the ideal mode for baking this delicious pie to achieve a golden flaky crust and juicy filling. If using fresh blueberries, spread them onto a rimmed baking sheet and freeze prior to using. YOUR RECIPE FOR CONVECTION COOKING! Anchor 1 Convection Baked Blueberry Pie Convection Bake Mode Convection-bake blueberry pie The Convection Bake mode is the ideal mode for baking this delicious pie to achieve a golden flaky crust and juicy filling. In this mode heat is directed from the bottom and top heating elements to ensure the crust bakes through while the fan distributes the heated air evenly. The result is perfection. Preparing the pastry dough is straightforward; however, because of the amount of flour you'll need a large 14-cup food processor to make the dough at one time. If your food processor is smaller, divide the crust ingredients into two batches. It's best to make the dough 1 or 2 hours beforehand to allow it to rest in the refrigerator to develop the gluten so the dough forms. Frozen blueberries are used in this pie to ensure the dough is flaky. If using fresh blueberries, spread them onto a rimmed baking sheet and freeze prior to using. A lattice topped pie may seem intimidating, but if you have all the strips cut and ready and take your time, after the first two are in place it's easy. INGREDIENTS For the Crust 5 cups flour (3 all-purpose and two wholewheat) ½ cup brown sugar ½ tsp sea salt 2 cups unsalted butter (diced and frozen) 6 tbsp ice water 4 tbsp whisky or brandy (you can substitute for water) 1 egg for the egg wash 2 tbsp cream for the egg wash Crust ingredients For the Filling 5 cups of frozen blueberries (you can use fresh blueberries) 1 lemon, zested and juiced ¼ cup corn starch ½ cup brown sugar Pinch of salt You will need a Pyrex 10-inch glass pie plate or ceramic pie dish. Filling ingredients PREPARATION Add the flour, sugar, and salt to the food processor. Give it a few pulses. Then, add the frozen diced butter and pulse until it is cut into smaller pieces. With the food processor running, gradually add the water and whisky. This step should be fast, and you should avoid overworking the dough, which should have a rough texture. Turn the mixture onto a lightly floured work surface and divide it into two parts if you make one batch. Press the mixture into a ball (don’t knead it), then press it into a disk. Cover the dough and refrigerate for at least an hour. Chilling the dough is essential as it relaxes the gluten, resulting in a flaky crust. Preparing the Filling Combine 5 cups of frozen blueberries, lemon zest, cornstarch, brown sugar, and salt in a bowl. The use of frozen blueberries is strategic, as it helps the dough stay chilled, a critical factor in achieving a flaky crust. Mix well, then add the lemon juice and mix again. Place the bowl in the freezer for at least 45 minutes to prevent the blueberries from thawing. Assembling the Pie Remove the chilled dough from the refrigerator and divide into two sections, one slightly larger than the other for the base of the pie. Roll the larger piece out to a 13" circle and lay it into the baking dish and add the frozen filling. Place the pie in the freezer while you prepare the lattice strips. Roll out the remaining dough and cut it into 12 1/2" wide strips. Lay six strips evenly on top of the filled pie and trim the strips to fit. Fold every other strip all the way back to the edge of the dish. Lay one strip crosswise over the pie and unfold the 3 strips to cover that strip. Now fold back the other 3 vertical strips and lay another strip across those. Fold the strips back to cover and repeat the pattern until you have "woven" in all 6 strips. Trim the edges and crimp the dough with a fork then brush the dough with the egg wash. Now return the pie to the freezer for one hour prior to baking. Baking the Pie Heat the oven to 420°F in the convection bake mode. Place the pie in the lower third of the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes until lightly browned. Reduce the temperature to 330°F and bake for an additional 50 minutes. Cool on a wire rack for 20 minutes before serving.

- Tips for Baking Bread in a Steam Oven
The benefits of baking bread by adding moisture to the oven were determined long ago when bakers of old learned to spritz water into brick ovens to create steam. Nowadays, we have steam ovens that offer varying degrees of heat and levels of humidity for baking perfectly crisp crusty bread. Master the Art of Perfectly Crispy Crusts: Tips for Baking Bread in a Steam Oven Freshly baked bread from the steam oven, showcasing a perfect crust and texture. The benefits of baking bread by adding moisture to the oven were determined long ago when bakers of old learned to spritz water into brick ovens to create steam. Nowadays, we have steam ovens that offer varying degrees of heat and levels of humidity for baking perfectly crisp crusty bread. Proofing Dough in a Steam Oven The first step when baking bread with yeast is of course proofing and most convection and steam ovens have a proof mode. In a convection oven the circulating air set to a low temperature of 100 F or less maintains an even temperature that is not drying. The advantage in the steam oven is moisture which provides an ideal environment for the yeast to grow in abundance. When you proof in a steam oven you do not have to cover the bowl, just put it in the oven for the specified time. Poke the dough when the time has elapsed or it has doubled in size, and if it leaves an indent it has successfully proofed so you can continue the recipe as directed. Just keep an eye on the timing to avoid over proofing the dough. Once proofed the dough can be formed and placed in the baking pan. In this video I am baking petite baguettes using a perforated form that holds three loaves. The perforations allow the heated air to circulate evenly around the dough creating that wonderful crisp crust. Now the formed loaves go back into the oven for the second rise and once they are ready, I will increase the oven temperature and change the mode to the combination convection steam mode. Some ovens, like mine feature different levels of steam that I can choose for baking bread and others feature specific modes for bread baking so it’s always a good idea to follow the manufacturer's recommendations. When you change the oven mode you can remove the loaves, slash the tops then return them to the oven as it heats. My oven heats so quickly that once they are slashed I put the loaves back in the oven, but you can also let the bread rest outside of the oven until it is heated. Baking with Steam In terms of temperature remember you are baking in convection so if the recipe temperature is 400 degrees, I recommend you reduce the temperature to 380 - 375 and also watch the timing. Recipes are developed for full size ovens, and the cavity size of a steam oven is generally much smaller so baking time may not need to be as long. Remember to check the underneath of the breads before you remove them from the oven to ensure they are properly baked through. Baking with a Cast Iron Pan Now when it comes to baking crusty loaves of bread a popular method is to bake the bread in a cast iron pan with a lid, then remove the lid towards the end of the baking time. Baking with the lid ensures the steam emitted during baking stays in the pan, removing the lid ensures the bread, achieves that perfect crisp crust. When using this method best results will be achieved by changing the mode to convection and increasing the oven temperature by 25 degrees for the final 10 minutes of baking. However, there is an option you can use that will also give great results without having to use a cast iron pan. Are you ready to bake bread? Click here Get the recipe for the Classic Petite Baguettes. Baking with a Baking Stone or Steel When baking in a steam oven instead of the cast iron pan, the bread can be baked directly on a baking stone or baking steel. I find that with the added humidity of the oven I can achieve a wonderful crust without having to use a pan. A baking stone or steel can also be used when baking pizza or free form tarts in either a convection or steam oven. You will have to heat the stone or steel for at least 15 - 20 minutes at 400 - 425 F to get it to the perfect temperature. When baking with a stone or a steel, line a pizza peel with a sheet of parchment and place the formed bread directly onto the parchment. When you place the bread in the oven slide the parchment onto the hot stone or steel. This way the bread won’t stick it it’s much easier to handle. If your oven has variable humidity settings you can use higher humidity during the first part of the baking and eliminate or lower the humidity and increase the temperature by 25 degrees for the final ten minutes of baking. This replicates the technique used with a cast iron pan and should provide the same great results. Baking bread is a really rewarding experience and there are many types of bread you can experiment with and your steam oven is an amazing tool for achieving baking perfection.

- Grilled Turkey Wings
Cooking turkey wings at a low temperature in your Convection or Steam oven and finishing them on the grill is a stress-free way to achieve amazing results. YOUR RECIPE FOR CONVECTION COOKING! Anchor 1 Grilled Turkey Wings Convection and Convection Roast Mode Tender and juicy slow-cooked turkey wings, finished on thegrill, served as the centerpiece of a flavorful meal. Roasting a turkey at Thanksgiving is a stress-inducing experience for many people. On the other hand, cooking turkey pieces at a low temperature in your Convection or Steam oven and finishing them on the grill is a stress-free way to achieve amazing results. The process is very simple, simply season the meat with a dry rub, place it on a rimmed baking sheet and cook it in the Convection mode at 200 degrees. Then the meat can be “finished” on a hot grill, or using the Convection Roast mode at 425 degrees. Timing is the only tricky part. I usually allow between 30 - 40 minutes at low temperatures but these turkey pieces were so large and actually took closer to 50 minutes to reach an internal temperature of 160 degrees. I used my oven meat probe to monitor the internal temperature of the thigh but you can also check the meat with an instant-read thermometer after 30 minutes to get a sense of the degree of doneness. Ingredients 2 turkey wings 1 turkey thigh or 2 drumsticks 1 tbsp of your preferred dry BBQ seasoning BBQ Sauce Preparation Heat the oven in the Convection or Convection Bake mode at 200 degrees. If you are using a Steam oven use the Low-Temperature Mode or combination Convection Steam Mode at 200 degrees Lightly oil and season the turkey pieces with some kosher salt and your preferred dry rub a few hours or a day before cooking. Place them on a rimmed baking sheet and bake at 200 degrees for approximately 40 minutes. Low-temperature cooking is a slow process so in order to determine the degree of doneness of the meat use the oven meat probe if your oven has one, or check the food with an instant-read thermometer. Ideally, aim for an internal temperature 10 degrees below the target temperature you want the meat to achieve because it will continue to cook on the hot grill. The turkey pieces can be brushed with BBQ sauce during the final phase of high-heat cooking.

- WHY CONVECTION IS IDEAL FOR ROASTING BEETS?
WHY CONVECTION IS IDEAL FOR ROASTING BEETS? FAQ PAGE How What Why Do Why Convection is Ideal for Roasting Beets? Convection is ideal for roasting vegetables because the circulating convection heat preserves moisture in food while the natural sugars in vegetables caramelize resulting in better flavor and texture. Roasting beets in a convection oven achieves a caramelized exterior with a moist interior. Once the beets are peeled cut them into the desired shape on a washable cutting board. Place the pieces in a bowl and toss with a light coating of olive oil, salt, and a sprinkle of mixed Italian seasoning. Spread the beets onto a rimmed baking sheet and roast in the Convection Bake or Convection Roast mode at 350°F for approximately 30 minutes.
