Convection ovens are more useful in many situations, because they are more efficient in transferring heat to your food than conventional ovens, physics wise. So think of a simple conventional box oven, where the air has been heated to 100 degrees (just for ease of mental calculations we'll use basic whole numbers, never minding C or F) and you put in a piece of food that is only 50 degrees. read more

It cooks more evenly: Regular ovens can have hot spots, depending on where the heating element is, but the fan in a convection oven will circulate the air to help even out the temperature variances. It's better at browning: Air in a regular oven can become a bit humid, as moisture can't escape. read more

Convection Oven: An oven that has a fan that circulates heated air. This allows for operation at a lower temperature while cooking more quickly. It also results in a more even bake. Convection Microwave (Oven): A combination of a microwave and a convection oven. Allows for even, quick cooking that is browned or baked. read more

Convection ovens can be either gas or electric, so when not using the convection setting, you'll experience all the advantages and disadvantages of cooking in those respective ovens. read more
