How to use your Samsung convection oven

Convection cooking uses a fan to circulate the oven’s heat. This is different from regular cooking, which generates heat from the top and bottom of your oven. Because of its fan, convection mode will cook your food more evenly and in less time. But which mode is the best to use?

Note: Compared to regular cooking, convection cooking is more thorough and takes less time. However, most recipes are written with regular cooking in mind. To allow for this, the oven will automatically adjust the temperature 25°F cooler than the temperature you set, right after you set it, so that you don't have to make any adjustments to the original recipe yourself. For instance, if your cookie recipe is designed for 350°F, you can put 350 into the oven and it will automatically switch to 325°F instead (if you are using a Convection mode), so you can take the cookies out at the same time as the recipe calls for. If you don't want this automatic conversion, you can turn it off. See your user manual for instructions.

Your oven will come with two convection modes: one for roasting and one for baking. Using these modes is more or less the same - you just need to make sure you select the correct button. You can also refer to your oven’s user manual for more instructions if you are unsure.

Many oven options are available, including with or without convection, but you may have noticed some of our models sport Convection+. This means that not only is there a convection fan in the oven, but the fan also has its own heating element in addition to the heating elements at the top and bottom of the oven. This takes you one step closer to culinary perfection in providing smooth even heating throughout the compartment.
