Benefits of Convection Oven Cooking:

• Speed  - convection oven heats up quickly. Because it uses a fan to force the hot air around the oven, it cooks faster as well. Airflow blows away a thin layer of air that normally sits around the food, insulating it from the oven heat. Allows food to now heat up more quickly, cooking faster, and saving much TIME. Cooking time is about 30% less.
  
  
• Cook more evenly - since the convection oven fan spreads heat evenly around the oven, there are no more cool spots and hot spots! Regular conventional ovens have uneven spots because they depend solely on the heating elements. This radiant heat is uneven, plus the distance of the food from the elements makes a difference to the temperature.
  
  
• Use all your favorite recipes - temperature and cooking times are easy to convert.
  
  
• Save Energy and Money  - since Convection toaster ovens heat up quicker and are very efficient in their use of heat, they typically cut energy use by around 20%, putting those savings in your wallet.
  
  
• Size  -  many sizes of convection ovens are available for all your needs, from large ranges and wall ovens to countertop and over the range ovens that are comparatively compact. Countertop and Over the Range convection ovens are small enough to be convenient but can still meet or complement the cooking and baking needs of most people. They make an excellent second oven as well! You can set your oven on a counter, a built-in area, or even be put it away in a cupboard until needed.
  
  
• Easy to Clean  - Some convection ovens generally come with handy trays, so if a spill occurs it is easy to pull out the tray and put in the sink to clean. Other easy-to-clean features are the non-stick accessories, which are often included with the oven, and (with some) an adjustable rack that can be removed for cleaning. Most of stainless steel interiors that are eay to wipe clean; some even have steam cleaning features.
  
  
• Price  - convection ovens are generally reasonably priced, there is a model available for every budget and need. Also, remember that they can generate savings once they are put into use. The price may vary according to the size and style, but, in general, they are affordable to buy and inexpensive to run.
  
  
• Flexible Use - can be used to warm up a small snack or cook a full meal. They can bake, cook, broil, toast, and roast. When a large crowd is coming, it can complement the regular oven by baking a casserole or warming up the buns. Many items can be cooked at once because of the circulating hot air.
  
  
• Easy to Use  - convection ovens have easy controls for time and temperature, so they are well suited for a supervised beginner or cooking with children. They can also be useful for seniors who want ease of cooking. Most countertop and over the range ovens have sensors for quick cooking of a variety of foods and bevarages. Some have built in recipes.
  
  
• MOST IMPORTANT OF ALL: More Nutrients in your food -  The higher temperatures of regular ovens that are needed to bake or cook certain foods, can also destroy some of the nutrients in the food. At lower temperatures, you preserve more of the food benefit. Also, convection ovens have none of the negative effects that microwave cooking can have on food and nutrition. Although the compact models have been convection and microwave, you can just use the convection controls and ignore the microwave (or just use to help defrost frozen foods, if desired).
