WHAT IS THE BEST TEMPERATURE FOR ROASTING A CHICKEN? FAQ PAGE How What Why Do What is the Best Temperature for Roasting a Chicken? Starting the cooking at a high temperature of 425°F degrees (218°C) for 15 - 20 minutes gets the chicken off to a good start, but remember Convection cooks food from the edge to the core, so if you keep the temperature too high you risk overcooking the edges and the center may not be cooked through. So a combination of high heat for a short period of time and moderate heat, 350°F degrees (180°C) for the remainder of the cooking will yield the best results.

DO I NEED A SPECIAL RECIPE FOR A CONVECTION OVEN? FAQ PAGE How What Why Do Do I need a special recipe for a convection oven? No, you don't. However, you do need to understand the convection modes of your oven and make the correct selection according to the food you want to cook. For example, if you want to several pies at once, it is recommended that you select the Convection Bake mode; if you want to roast large cuts of meat, you should use the Convection Roast mode. Why? Because with each mode, the heating elements cycle with different intensity, and the convection fan circulates heated air.

DO I FOLLOW THE STATED RECIPE TEMPERATURE IN CONVECTION? FAQ PAGE How What Why Do Do I follow the stated recipe temperature in convection? It depends. If the recipe was written for convection ovens then follow the instructed recipe. If the recipe only says "heat the oven to 350°F" for instance, then the recipe was written for a traditional radiant oven. If this case, reduce the temperature by 25°F.

WHAT IS THE TIMING FOR ROASTING MEATS IN CONVECTION? FAQ PAGE How What Why Do What is the timing for roasting meats in convection? Cooking time for large roasts is reduced substantially in Convection, while smaller roasts generally cook in stated recipe time. If your oven is equipped with a meat probe using it when roasting large cuts of meat of 5lbs and over will prevent overcooking. Otherwise, check the meat with an instant-read thermometer ⅔ of the way through the stated recipe time to determine the degree of doneness. Always add resting and carving time to the overall cooking time. 10 minutes for smaller cuts of meat 20 - 30 minutes for larger cuts of meat.

WHAT IS BRAISING? FAQ PAGE How What Why Do WHAT IS BRAISING? Braising is a method of slowly cooking tougher cuts of meat in liquid with aromatics in a covered casserole. A tightly fitting lid on the pan creates steam in the pan that helps tenderize the meat during the long slow cooking process. The major difference is the cooking temperature, the temperature for braising is 280 - 320°F degrees. If you braise meats in the steam oven, you don't need to use the lid of the pan. https://video.wixstatic.com/video/43d86e_be2cf712e3e34e5d801db9b636aed691/1080p/mp4/file.mp4 OUR LATEST CONVECTION RECIPES Baked Oatmeal Blueberry Bars Apple Cinnamon Muffins Easy Chocolate Cake with Fig Preserves Chili Rubbed Chicken Sweet Potatoes Black Beans

If your oven doesn’t have a small-sized pan the orzo can be cooked in a Pyrex or other ovenproof casserole dish. The grilled artichoke hearts can be found in the salad section at Whole Foods. INGREDIENTS 1 cup orzo pasta 1 cup of water or enough to cover the pasta 1 8 oz package grilled artichoke hearts, coarsely chopped ¼ cup finely chopped red onion ¼ cup minced Italian parsley leaves 2 cups mini heirloom tomatoes, quartered ¼ cup pine nuts, lightly toasted Dressing ¼ cup olive oil 1 ½ tbsp golden balsamic or sherry vinegar 2 cloves garlic, minced PREPARATION Heat the Steam oven in the Steam mode, 212 degrees.

Select the Combination Convection Steam Mode to bake the cheesecake but the important thing to remember is to reduce the recipe temperature by 25 degrees, maybe even 30 degrees if your oven tends to run hot. My oven has the option to choose a level of humidity, and I choose 60% with excellent results. This cheesecake comes together very quickly and only takes 50 - 60 minute to cook in the Combi Steam Oven; however, you do need to factor in 8 - 10 hours of chilling so it sets properly. The hardest part of this recipe was juicing the little Key Limes, but I did find a useful tip online that recommended using a garlic press for the really small ones and that worked very well. Of course regular limes can be substituted and are just as delicious. When planning to make this cheesecake be sure to get the butter, cream cheese and eggs out early so they are at room temperature. INGREDIENTS Crust 2 - cups crushed Graham cracker (about 15 full sheets) 1 - stick unsalted butter, melted 3 - Tbsps. granulated sugar Filling 1 - cup granulated sugar 1 - Tbsp cornstarch 3 - 8oz packages cream cheese, at room temperature 4 - large room temperature eggs ⅔ - cup mascarpone cheese ⅓ - cup heavy cream ⅓ - cup fresh lime juice, 1 - tsp vanilla extract PREPARATION Heat the oven to 325 Degrees Convection (with no steam). Line the outside of a 9” springform pan with a sheet of heavy duty aluminum foil. Stir the crushed graham crackers and sugar together in a mixing bowl, then add the melted butter and stir to combine. Add the prepared crumbs to the springform pan and press evenly into the bottom and about halfway up the sides. Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes and set aside to cool. Change the oven Mode to Combination Convection Steam 300 degrees. Whisk together the sugar and cornstarch in a small mixing bowl until well combined. Pour the sugar mixture over the cream cheese and beat in a large bowl until smooth, then mix in the eggs in one at a time. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl and add the Mascarpone and cream and mix till combined. Stir in the lime juice and vanilla. Pour into the prepared crust and bake for 50 - 60 minutes, until set but still a little soft. Set aside to cool for one hour before chilling for 8 - 10 hours. This cheesecake will serve 12 - 14 people and is delicious with some whipped cream piped and fresh raspberries or strawberries. Key Lime Cheesecake .pdf Download PDF • 111KB WANT TO LEARN MORE?

Blanching and Canning in the Steam Oven Anchor 1 YOUR RECIPE FOR STEAM COOKING Breakfast Desserts Low Temperature Roasting Meats Poultry Salads Seafood Steam Baking Steam Braising Steam Roasting Veggies Blanching and Canning in the Steam Oven Steaming Tomatoes are plentiful at this time of year and if you like to make your own tomato sauce or preserve excess tomatoes you will be pleased to know your Combi Steam oven can make the work so much easier. Blanching and Canning in the Steam Oven INGREDIENTS Tomatoes Lemon juice PREPARATION Before cooking tomatoes it’s advisable to remove the skin. To do this in the steam oven, heat the oven in the steam mode, make a cross on the base of the tomato and place the tomatoes in the perforated pan. Place them in the oven and steam for 3 - 4 minutes. When you remove the tomatoes, set them aside to cool, slip off the skins and you are ready to either cook with them or you can go ahead and proceed with the canning. Before canning the first step is to sterilize the jars. Again you will use the Steam mode, simply place the clean jars and lids in the perforated pan and sterilize in the oven for 10 minutes. Once the jars are cool enough to handle you can go ahead and add the tomatoes, with lemon juice and enough boiling water to fill the jar leaving 1/2 “ of space for the tomatoes to expand during the canning. Put the lids and rings on the jars and place them in the perforated pan. Return the pan to the oven and set the timer for 45 minutes. Place the jars in a cool spot in the kitchen to cool down and don’t disturb them for 24 hours. Check that each jar has properly sealed and store them in a cool dark place until ready to use.

View All Blog Posts (99) 'Mastering Crispy Crusts: Baking Bread in a Steam Oven' Many years ago, bakers discovered the advantages of baking bread by introducing moisture into the oven. They used to spray water into brick ovens to generate steam. Today, we have steam ovens with different heat and humidity settings to achieve the ideal crispy crust when baking bread. Proofing Dough in the Steam Oven Of course, proofing is the first step when baking bread with yeast, and most convection and steam ovens have a proof mode. In a convection oven, the circulating air is set to a low temperature of 100 F or less, maintaining an even temperature that does not dry. The advantage of 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 doubled in size. If it leaves an indent, it has been successfully proofed, so you can continue the recipe as directed. Just keep an eye on the timing to avoid overproofing 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. Once they are ready, I will increase the oven temperature and change the cooking mode to the combination convection steam mode. Some ovens, like mine, feature different steam levels 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, and then return them to the oven as it heats. My oven heats so quickly, 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 be shorter. Remember to check the underneath of the loaves of bread before you remove them from the oven to ensure they are properly baked. Baking with a Cast Iron Pan A popular method for baking crusty loaves of bread is to bake them in a cast iron pan with a lid and 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, while removing the lid ensures the bread achieves that perfectly crisp crust. This method will achieve the best results by changing the mode to convection (no steam) 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. Baking with a Baking Stone or Steel You can bake bread directly on a baking stone or steel when baking bread in a steam oven instead of a cast iron pan. With the added humidity of the oven, you can achieve a wonderful crust without using 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. However, you must 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 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 process, eliminate or lower the humidity, and increase the temperature by 25 degrees for the final ten minutes of baking. These steps replicate the technique used with a cast iron pan and should provide the same great results. Baking bread is a really rewarding experience. You can experiment with many types of bread, and your steam oven is an amazing tool for achieving baking perfection.

It’s such an easy, delicious meal to prepare, and like so many other foods, roasting a chicken in Convection makes it even more delicious. Why is Convection Better for Roasting When you use the Bake or Roast mode in an electric oven, you use Radiant or Thermal heat. This heat is drying in nature, which works well for baking; however, who wants to eat dried-out meat or poultry? Before ovens had a Convection mode , brining meats was considered the best option for preserving moisture during roasting. Brining infuses flavor and moisture into the meat, helping keep it moist when it's cooked in radiant heat. When you use Convection Bake or Convection Roast in an electric oven, the oven still uses the Top and Bottom heating elements. However, because the fan circulates the heat evenly around the food, the natural moisture in the food is preserved. When you roast a chicken in Convection, you will see moisture bubbling away under the skin. The chicken is self-basting itself as it cooks. Another advantage is that when you roast in Convection mode, you can cook several other dishes simultaneously. With their heated moving air, gas ovens have a natural Convection, but many do feature a Convection mode that you should use to cook side dishes along with the chicken. What Type of Pan is Best for Roasting a Chicken? The best way to roast a chicken in Convection is to roast it on a rack in a shallow pan. Since shallow-sided roasting pans with a rack are hard to find, the best solution is to use a rimmed baking sheet with a rack. There are several reasons why the rack is so essential. Using a rack allows the chicken to sit proudly so the heated air can easily circulate around it, cooking it evenly from the edge to the center. Elevating the chicken from the pan stops the hot pan from leeching moisture out of the chicken. This way, the moisture stays in the chicken instead of splattering it around the oven. The chicken's fat will be rendered into the pan, but it will not fill the pan with juice from the chicken, so using a shallow pan is perfectly safe. Because the standard size of ovens is so much larger nowadays, large-rimmed baking pans, known as ¾ sheet pans, are a good option for roasting. The chicken can be roasted on a rack (available from a cookware store) in one of these pans, and there is plenty of room to add vegetables to the pan. Alternatively, you can use a shallow roasting pan with a rack and roast the vegetables in a separate pan. Cooking on multiple racks is one of the best features of Convection because you can time the cooking to have the meat come out first and rest before carving and time the vegetables to be ready when the meat is ready to serve. Why Does My Chicken Have Red-Bone? Don't be alarmed if you notice some redness around the chicken bones while carving the bird. This redness is a characteristic of cooking with more moisture. Look closely at the meat; as long as the meat is cooked, you are fine. However, if the meat is still fleshy-looking, cover it and put it back in the oven. I no longer bother to truss my chicken for roasting; I thread a skewer between the legs to balance the chicken, which cooks evenly this way. If you tie the thighs tightly to the body, the heat may not penetrate that area during cooking time, causing uneven cooking of the red bone. Have a Rimmed Cutting Board Handy As soon as you carve the chicken, the preserved juices will begin to flow. If you don't have a rimmed cutting board, try carving it on a board and placing it in a rimmed baking sheet to capture the juice. Even though this post explains everything, roasting a chicken in Convection is easy; it just takes a little planning. Remember, a recipe will give you a flavor profile for your chicken, but if you follow the steps outlined and roast your chicken in Convection, I promise to yield the most succulent roast chicken you have ever cooked.

Larissa, Your Convection Enthusiast The Secret to Perfectly Crispy Crust: Convection Cooking for Pizza Freshly baked crusted pizza with perfectly melted cheese enhanced with savory toppings is a taste sensation, but it can be challenging to perfect in a home oven. The key to success in baking the perfect crust is a consistent, powerful heat source, and your convection oven may have just the tools you need. Using a pizza stone or baking steel can enhance the perfect oven environment, but success depends on choosing the right convection mode. Convection for Proofing Pizza Dough Great pizza begins with a good crust, and pizza dough is perhaps one of the easiest to prepare. Once the dough is mixed and ready for proofing, it is set aside for the first rising. The perfect environment for proofing the dough is your convection or steam oven . In the Proof mode, the convection fan circulates the ambient air in the oven, keeping the temperature consistent at 100F°. Of course, the advantage of proofing in a steam oven is the added humidity, which aids in activating the yeast. The dough does not need to be covered when proofing in your oven . Once the dough is punched down, it goes back into the oven for a second, rising, and then it is time to prepare it for baking. How to Create the Ideal Oven Environment for Baking Pizza in Convection Whether baking pizza with dough made from scratch or using a re-bought dough, planning the timing is key. Preparing and proofing homemade dough takes approximately 2 hours, and bringing a store-bought fresh dough to the baking temperature can also take 2 hours as it is kept so cold. Once the second rising is complete, the oven can be heated to bake the pizza. First, arrange the oven racks, placing one rack on the bottom rack position unless your oven user guide recommends a different rack position. Use an extension rack if your oven has one, and place a baking stone or steel on that rack. Never place the stone or steel on the oven floor; always use the oven rack. It can help remove the other oven racks for ease of handling the pizza. Some ovens feature a Pizza mode, and while that mode may be suitable for baking frozen prepared pizza, choosing a mode with more intense heat will give the best results when baking fresh pizza. The Convection Roast , Convection Bake , or Turbo mode, if your oven features one, are the best choices for baking pizza. In these modes, the direct heat from the bottom heating element will thoroughly heat the stone or steel, while the circulating heat ensures even cooking. Always choose the highest oven temperature to heat the oven for baking pizza. Gas ovens provide an ideal environment for baking pizza and loaves of bread, as the heated moving air creates a natural convection that is not as drying as an electric oven. The baking mode in a gas oven gives great results, although if your oven has a Convection option, that would be ideal for baking thicker-crust pizza. An electric oven with a concealed bake element can take approximately 20 minutes to heat up for baking the pizza, while a gas oven may come to temperature slightly faster; the hotter the oven and the baking stone or steel are, the better the result will be. The great thing about baking pizza is that each pizza cooks so quickly—in 6 - 8 minutes—that you can enjoy a delicious, freshly baked pizza customized to your liking. Then, you can bake another, maybe some bread or a rustic fruit tart, on that nicely heated stone. Remember, when it comes to cleaning your pizza stone, it should never be cleaned with water. Any baking debris can be removed with a wire grill brush. The pork shoulder roast is a versatile cut of meat that can be braised or slowly roasted. It is also delicious when filled with savory stuffing and roasted. One of the best things about roasting a stuffed pork roast in convection is that you can simultaneously cook the side dishes.
