True Convection

If you’re considering a new range, you may have already decided to go for an electric model rather than a gas range. But, your decision is not yet fully made, as you will need to decide whether to choose a traditional or true convection range. Many people are unaware of the fantastic potential of true convection technology that could revolutionize your cooking experiences. True convection can elevate your cooking skills as it offers efficient, accurate and consistent cooking. If you can become familiar with true convection, you can make an informed decision about whether it is a good choice for you. The True Convection Basics: If you’re interested in kitchens and cooking, you may be aware that new technology is continually being developed that can step up your home cooking game. True convection technology incorporates powerful exhaust systems and fans for even heat distribution. This moves the hot air around the oven cavity to keep steady temperatures and avoid those problematic hot and cold spots. True convection or as it is sometimes called European convection offers better heat control and distribution so your dishes will be cooked more evenly and browned better for more delicious results. True Convection vs Traditional Convection: If you’ve already used a traditional convection range, you may be wondering whether true convection is the same. The key difference between these technologies is in how the hot air is moved around the oven cavity. With a traditional convection oven, the air is moved just using a fan,

New French-Door OvensFrench-Door ovens for the home have been in various stages of planning for the past 10 to 15 years. They've existed in commercial kitchens for some time, and features from commercial appliances often migrate to the home appliance category. So, it was no surprise to see Viking and GE Monogram introduce French-Door wall ovens last year.Among other high end specialty cooking brands both BlueStar and American Range have introduced French-Door wall ovens. Today, we're going to showcase the latest offering in this category: GE Café's new French-Door wall ovenWe've written about the GE Monogram French-Door wall oven before (New GE Monogram Oven).

Here are the key features of the new GE Café French-Door wall oven:Self-Clean with Steam-Clean optionYou are probably used to having a self-clean oven so you may be surprised to learn that most of GE's competitors in this category do not offer a self-clean oven even at a much higher price than GE Café.

Cooking with Convection How do convection ovens and ranges work? Wikipedia A convection oven (also known as a fan-assisted oven or simply a fan oven) is an oven that has fans to circulate air around food. Conventional ovens, which do not have fans, rely primarily on radiation from the oven walls, and to a lesser extent, on natural convection caused by temperature differences within the oven, to transfer heat to food. Depending on the brand and type of convection (see below) the benefits of convection cooking include: More even baking Cookies on multiple racks will come out perfectly cooking regardless of where they are placed. Faster roasting Your Thanksgiving turkey may be done 1/3 to 1/2 sooner than cooking conventionally. More flavorful The fan driven air circulation and speed of convection quickly browns roasts and other foods giving them a nice crust and sealing in juices and nutrients. True or European Convection European convection or "True" convection has an element surrounding the convection fan versus regular ol' convection that has a fan only - no third element. There is about a 50 year debate still going on about the differences and advantages of these two systems, and we're not about to step in it here except to say that you get to choose...and that's a good thing! Some ovens such as Wolf have DUAL convection meaning two fans. Jenn-Air's unique V2™ dual fans are stacked vertically.Just about all of the premium brands offer the convection
