“The instruction booklet that came with the stove doesn't say enough about the convection oven. I've read on the internet that convection should be 25 degrees lower than regular bake. If my recipe calls for 350 degrees, do I need to set it to 325?”

That's not totally correct! When convection mode is enabled the temperature is auto changed. In other words if you choose 425 degrees it will auto select 400 degrees (25 degrees lower than recipe. I have never heard that you have to alter the cook time as well. No guesswork!
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I agree that the book does not explain enough. When I first used the convection oven, I experienced items cooking a lot faster than with the conventional oven. I lowered the temperature 25 degrees and they did just fine. I would advise you to set it lower. If you don't, you can watch what is baking a little closer so that the item does not overcook.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Hi MiMiharr, with convection cooking, the unit will cook food 25% faster than a traditional bake cycle. It is recommended that you adjust the bake time that is suggested for your recipe to compensate. So you would shave 25% off the recommended cooking time. We hope this helps!
