A convection oven is a type of oven that uses a fan to circulate hot air around the food. This helps to cook food more evenly and quickly compared to traditional ovens, which rely on radiant heat. The even heat distribution can result in better browning and crisping of foods. These ovens are versatile and can be used for baking, roasting, and reheating. Many convection ovens also have settings for specific cooking tasks, making them user-friendly. They are popular in both home kitchens and commercial settings, such as restaurants, due to their efficiency and effectiveness in cooking a variety of dishes.
