Countertop Convection Oven - Two Excellent Choices
Convection ovens differ from basic ovens due to the fact that they have a fan which provides a constant air circulation in the oven. With a convection oven the hot air produced by the oven is blown onto the food and decreases the amount of cooking time.
With standard ovens the hot air surrounds the food placed in the oven. Cooking with a convection oven typically provides tastier foods when compared to a standard oven. By roasting a chicken in a convection oven the chicken skin renders the fat, the chicken contains its juices and browns sooner compared to a standard oven.
Roasting vegetables in a convection oven typically creates crispness along the edges while keeping the inside of the vegetables moist and it also creates deep, rich flavors in the vegetables. If you want the advantages of cooking with a convection oven but you don't want to spend a lot of money to replace your existing oven you might want to consider purchasing a countertop convection oven. Let's take a look at two popular models.
