We bake ALOT and have not found the convection to be a great asset. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-oven-do-you-use-convection#post-2563290 Tue, 07 Jun 2016 13:02:25 +0000 psw27 2563290@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I have it and I've never used it and you guys are convincing me I should! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-oven-do-you-use-convection#post-2563236 Tue, 07 Jun 2016 12:16:25 +0000 Mommy Finger 2563236@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually only use it when I'm roasting veggies and potatoes as they cook faster. I'll have to try using it for baking! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-oven-do-you-use-convection#post-2563161 Tue, 07 Jun 2016 10:24:19 +0000 Canoli 2563161@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have convection but I've never used it. You guys are making me want to go cook something now! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-oven-do-you-use-convection#post-2563123 Tue, 07 Jun 2016 09:35:00 +0000 Littlebit7 2563123@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use convection all the time. I love it. I have to drop the temp setting about 25 degrees because things tend to cook a little faster. The BEST use of convection is that I can bake three sheets of cookies at the same time without having to rotate the pans. The fan really helps to circulate the air around which gets rid of hot spots. Same with cakes, roasting veg or chicken. I pretty much have it turned on whenever I'm cooking in the oven. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-oven-do-you-use-convection#post-2563122 Tue, 07 Jun 2016 09:34:32 +0000 DenverMom 2563122@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use convection for everything I bake. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-oven-do-you-use-convection#post-2563095 Tue, 07 Jun 2016 08:51:42 +0000 looch 2563095@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never use convection. I don't bake or cook that much, truth be told.</p> <p>I also have the dual oven range and we love it. I basically only use the top single rack portion. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-oven-do-you-use-convection#post-2562982 Mon, 06 Jun 2016 22:13:12 +0000 youboots 2562982@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HappyBaker: it's the best thing ever. More efficient and makes it easy to cook at different temps. It's awesome. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-oven-do-you-use-convection#post-2562975 Mon, 06 Jun 2016 21:31:11 +0000 Rocker2014 2562975@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Have it, use it, love it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-oven-do-you-use-convection#post-2562970 Mon, 06 Jun 2016 21:20:53 +0000 regberadaisy 2562970@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@NorCalWayfarer: I'm jealous you have two ovens! 😍 We just don't Have enough wall space in our open plan kitchen for two ovens. One design regret. ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-oven-do-you-use-convection#post-2562914 Mon, 06 Jun 2016 19:46:31 +0000 skipra 2562914@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had it on our old oven and used it all the time. I miss it and will definitely want to get it when out current one kicks it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-oven-do-you-use-convection#post-2562906 Mon, 06 Jun 2016 19:37:19 +0000 Alba4 2562906@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! I love the confection setting, especially when roasting chicken. The skin gets really crispy and it bakes faster. Worth it (but we love to cook). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-oven-do-you-use-convection#post-2562902 Mon, 06 Jun 2016 19:26:22 +0000 regberadaisy 2562902@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! I've found that it foods cook faster because it circulated the air. I usually turn it on when in a time crunch. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-oven-do-you-use-convection#post-2562881 Mon, 06 Jun 2016 18:56:19 +0000 NorCalWayfarer 2562881@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes --both ovens on our houses have had it. I use it for cookies/baking, especially for the evenness of cooking multiple trays at once. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-oven-do-you-use-convection#post-2562866 Mon, 06 Jun 2016 18:39:49 +0000 HappyBaker 2562866@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@youboots: you just blew my mind, I didn't even know this was thing! Is the main benefit that you can cook at different temperatures / save gas because you are heating a smaller part if only using one?</p> <p>@CakeLady: Thank you for the article! This is just what I needed to know </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-oven-do-you-use-convection#post-2562814 Mon, 06 Jun 2016 17:18:57 +0000 TrailRunner 2562814@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use it but my husband runs a restaurant so it was a big plus for him. I don't really care either way but it is a nice feature to have. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-oven-do-you-use-convection#post-2562804 Mon, 06 Jun 2016 16:53:44 +0000 Mamaof2 2562804@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Madison43: same here - never use it </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-oven-do-you-use-convection#post-2562801 Mon, 06 Jun 2016 16:40:35 +0000 MamaG 2562801@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have it and we do use it. Its not the easiest to find an oven without it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-oven-do-you-use-convection#post-2562798 Mon, 06 Jun 2016 16:36:01 +0000 CakeLady 2562798@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>convection is a setting that circulates air in the oven while you are cooking. it can help cook some food faster and more evenly. it doesn't work well for everything which I learned the hard way. </p> <p>Here's a short and simple article that describes when (and when not to use it)<br /> <a href="http://www.thekitchn.com/whats-a-convection-oven-and-when-do-i-use-it-appliance-guides-from-the-kitchen-216549" rel="nofollow">http://www.thekitchn.com/whats-a-convection-oven-and-when-do-i-use-it-appliance-guides-from-the-kitchen-216549</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-oven-do-you-use-convection#post-2562787 Mon, 06 Jun 2016 16:16:10 +0000 Madison43 2562787@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Umm, our microwave is also a convection and I have zero idea what it does. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-oven-do-you-use-convection#post-2562782 Mon, 06 Jun 2016 16:12:55 +0000 snowjewelz 2562782@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@youboots: Yeah you can tell how close with the oven I am too, lol :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-oven-do-you-use-convection#post-2562780 Mon, 06 Jun 2016 16:12:20 +0000 youboots 2562780@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@snowjewelz: it has a conv setting on it.

If so we have one, hahaha. We mostly just use the upper deck too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-oven-do-you-use-convection#post-2562774 Mon, 06 Jun 2016 16:05:51 +0000 youboots 2562774@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't use it but I have it. But I love my double. I use the smaller upper half 90% of the time and it heats up so fast. </p> [attach=5281/16/o8dbyz.450x600.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-oven-do-you-use-convection#post-2562771 Mon, 06 Jun 2016 16:03:23 +0000 HappyBaker 2562771@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We need a new oven and I'm overwhelmed with options!! We have never had convection, I'm wondering if anyone actually uses it / it's worth the extra $150-$200. </p>
