What a Convection Range Can Do for You

Do you often use your range to cook multiple dishes at once? That’s exactly when convection cooking comes into its own. A range equipped with a convection oven saves you time while bringing out the best in your recipes.

Thanks to a built-in fan, convection mode circulates hot air evenly throughout the oven cavity. The result: more balanced cooking, evenly golden dishes—even on multiple racks. This method also reduces cooking times and allows for lower temperatures—an advantage for both the quality of your meals and your energy consumption.

What Are the Different Types of Convection Ovens?

There are two types of convection cooking technologies, each with its own design:

• Standard convection: also known as fan-assisted or forced-air convection—uses a fan at the back of the oven to circulate hot air produced by the traditional heating elements, typically located at the top and bottom. This airflow improves heat distribution compared to a conventional static oven.
• True convection: sometimes called European convection—goes a step further by adding a circular heating element around the fan. This heats the air before it’s distributed throughout the oven, providing a more consistent and stable temperature. It’s ideal for baking multiple dishes at once without flavor transfer or uneven results.
