What is a Convection Oven?
A convection oven is a baking appliance that uses a built-in fan and exhaust system to circulate hot air evenly around food. Unlike standard ovens (which rely on radiant heat), convection ovens accelerate cooking by distributing heat more efficiently, speeding up cooking times by 15–25%.
The following are the main components of a convection oven:
-
Fan: Forces air movement for uniform heat distribution.
-
Exhaust Vent: Removes excess moisture, ideal for crispy textures.
-
Third Heating Element (in some models): Boosts airflow efficiency.
How to Use a Convection Oven: 7 Pro Tips
1️⃣ Adjust Temperature or Time
-
Lower the temperature by **25°F (15°C)** from standard oven recipes.
Example: If a recipe calls for 375°F in a regular oven, set convection to 350°F.
-
OR reduce cooking time by **20–25%** (e.g., 45 minutes → 35 minutes).
2️⃣ Use the Right Bakeware
-
Opt for low-sided, rimless pans (e.g., sheet pans, pizza stones) to maximize airflow.
-
Avoid overcrowding racks—leave 1–2 inches between trays.
3️⃣ Preheat Strategically
-
Preheat for 5–10 minutes (vs. 15–20 minutes in standard ovens).
-
Check your oven manual—some models auto-activate the fan during preheating.
4️⃣ Layer Foods Smartly
-
Convection ovens excel at multi-rack baking. Rotate trays halfway for even browning.
-
Pro Tip: Place thicker cuts (e.g., roasts) on lower racks to avoid overcooking the top.
5️⃣ Leverage Moisture Control
-
Use convection mode for crispy results (roasted veggies, cookies, pastries).
-
Cover dishes with foil if retaining moisture is critical (e.g., casseroles).
6️⃣ Avoid Common Mistakes
-
Don’t use convection for:
-
Delicate cakes (fan can disrupt rising).
-
Custards or soufflés (dries out surfaces).
-
Breads requiring steam (exhaust removes moisture).
7️⃣ Clean the Fan Regularly
-
Wipe the fan blades monthly to prevent grease buildup, which can reduce efficiency.
-
We offer convection oven in two specifications: five-tray and ten-tray, with optional electric or gas ovens to meet different needs.The control panel can be customized within a certain quantity.We also have a variety of baking trays to choose from.

Fast Heating: Preheat your oven to the desired temperature in just 12 minutes, reducing wait time and boosting efficiency.
Excellent Baking Results: Achieve the perfect texture, with crispy exteriors and soft, fluffy interiors.
Uniform Baking: Advanced heat distribution ensures that all items bake evenly, every time.
Energy Efficient: Save energy while baking, making it an eco-friendly choice for any kitchen.
Final Takeaway
A convection oven is a game-changer for achieving restaurant-quality textures (crispy, golden, evenly cooked) in less time. While it’s not ideal for every dish, mastering its airflow dynamics can elevate your baking and roasting—especially for high-heat recipes like pizza, roasted meats, or batch cookies.
For bakeries needing versatility, consider combi ovens (convection + steam) to handle both crispy and moist baking tasks.
