Basic not Gourmet question, pls. If my receipe says 45 mins at 350 degrees in an electric, natural gas or propane oven, what do I do in a convection oven? Same time and temp? When do I preheat? Does it matter? Please make your answer simple, I don't understand all the buttons/settings. I can turn it on, set temp and time. Thanks.

The rule of thumb I use is set the temperture 25 degrees less and cook for the same length of time. I usually check it a little earlier until I get to know the oven.

I attended a Micro-Convection cooking class at a rally. The instructor stated to cook as the recipe states because this is not like a home Convection oven. It does not have the output like the 220 volt home ovens - it is running on 110.
I have followed this recommendation and have had great results.
Bon Appetit!

My GE Profile convection oven has a program for convection baking.
When pressing the convection button, you are prompted to enter the recipe temp and the the recipe time.
The oven then preheats then promps you to place the food inside.
I don't know if the oven adjusts the temp, but the time stays the same.

Thanks for your response. Confusion is still there. I cooked 2 small cornish hens that were to cook 1H 15M at 350 degrees. Did that, they were not done. Cooked them almost 2 hrs, still not quite done but good enough to eat. Tested oven temp with portable oven temp gauge. Oven was about 10% low if my portable was correct. Gave up on baked potatoes and used the microwave. Are all convection oven's bad? What's 110 vs 220 got to do with it? Shouldn't 350 be 350?

This might help: Convection Oven
RetiredSKP posted an excellent how-to.

Our previous 5er had a convection microwave and we loved it. It did take some getting use to using it, but, read the book and follow the instructions until you learn how to cook with it.

Just an idea, but your thermostat may not be reading properly. If you have an oven thermometer place it in the covection oven and set the temperature on the oven and see if they agree.

May not be relevant but since I'm the breakfast cook since retirement here's what I've found. Our Sharp Micro/Convection oven in the MH does a good job, just not quickly. Also a lot has to do with available park power. If you're familiar with the Pillsbury frozen biscuits in the bag it takes nearly 30min. @ 400 to have them done. Since they rotate constantly they're perfect. I've done a whole platter full at rallys and they're still perfect and doesn't take but a few minutes longer. It doesn't have a preheat thingy on it.
At home in our Convection/Standard stove is quicker by 10min but doesn't rotate so the biscuits arrive in many different shapes. Still done though.
Potatoes in the Microwave come out good, just a little slower.
