“Can this oven be used as a regular, non convection oven for baking cakes? How do I cover foods during baking if it calls for foil, which I don’t think you’re supposed to use in convection ovens?”

Hi there, Ella! Great questions! Here’s what I know about your Frigidaire Gallery GCRG3060BF 30" Gas Range with No Preheat + Air Fry: Using it as a Regular (Non-Convection) Oven - Yes, you can use this oven as a regular conventional oven for baking cakes or anything else. - The convection feature is optional and usually can be turned off. When off, the oven operates like a traditional oven without the fan circulating the air. - For cakes, many bakers prefer the conventional mode because it’s gentler and less likely to dry out delicate baked goods. Using Foil in This Oven (Convection or Not) - Foil is generally safe to use in this oven if used properly. - For convection baking, the main caution is not to block airflow because the fan circulates hot air, and blocking vents or covering the racks completely with foil can cause uneven cooking or damage the oven. - To cover foods with foil during baking (like covering a cake to prevent over-browning), use tenting—loosely cover the food so air can still circulate it. - Avoid lining the bottom of the oven with foil, as it can block heat and airflow, and may damage the oven surface. - If the recipe calls for foil, you can still follow it, just make sure the foil isn’t tightly sealed over the food or blocking vents. Quick Tips - For cakes: Bake in conventional mode if you want to avoid fan drying. - Use foil tents loosely to cover dishes. - Don’t cover entire racks or oven bottoms with foil. - Maico
