How to Convert Time for Convection Ovens
- 1). Preheat the convection oven to 25 degrees lower than your recipe indicates for a conventional oven. For example, if the recipe indicates a conventional oven should be preheated to 350 degrees F, preheat the convection oven to 325 degrees F.
- 2). Reduce the cooking time by 25 percent of what is indicated when baking in a conventional oven. For example, if the recipe specifies that a dish should be baked for one hour in a conventional oven, you should expect to bake the dish for 45 minutes in a convection oven.
- 3). Check your food 10 minutes prior to the time you expect it to be done. For example, if you expect your food to be done in 45 minutes, check on it after 35 minutes has elapsed to see if it is done sooner than expected.
