Convection Ovens

[ad_1]

When you are redoing your commercial kitchen, there are many things to consider, such as what type of appliances you should choose. One choice that many people are frequently making now is to place a convection oven in their kitchen. The problem with this is many people are placing these ovens in their kitchens because they have heard so much about them, but just aren't sure how or why they should use them. Convection ovens really aren't as complicated or difficult as they may seem; the easiest way to get comfortable with it is just to start using your convection oven.

The easiest way to begin using your convection oven is to choose a recipe that you are comfortable making, such as your favorite cookies or even a tasty chicken dish. You will want to cook your chosen recipe for a shorter amount of time than you do in a conventional oven and should also cook items at a lower temperature. (Make sure to read your instruction manual as well; it will provide you with valuable information about the workings of your particular oven!)

Convection ovens differ from conventional ovens by using a fan to continuously circulate air throughout the oven cavity instead of using thermal heat that cooks in typical ovens. This circulating air means that your food will cook more quickly because air speeds up the rate of heat transfer. This accelerated cooking is one reason that convection ovens offer superior cooking quality when compared to conventional, thermal ovens. The moving heat also speed up the chemical reactions that take place within food when it cooks, such as causing the butter in a crust to heat up more quickly, creating a more light, flaky crust. Foods also tend to retain more flavor and stay juicier when prepared in a convection oven.

Convection ovens also offer more even cooking, eliminating hot or cold spots in your food. These ovens cook evenly regardless of the food's placement within the oven. Typical ovens will often burn or scorch foods that are closer to the element, while leaving those place on the top rack or middle rack slightly undercooked. Convection ovens eliminate this through the use of circulated air.

I've often debated whether a convection oven would truly be a more effective oven to have. When taking all the facts into consideration, I believe convection ovens are, in actuality, a progressive, more effective cooking alternative to the traditional thermal oven.
