Abstract
A method for converting standard conventional oven cook times and temperatures to convection oven cook times and temperatures to operate a thermal convection oven is provided. The method has the steps of providing a thermal convection oven having an oven cavity, a heating element, a control panel for inputting cooking parameters, a converter for converting a standard conventional oven cook time and temperature to a convection oven cook time and temperature, the converter being connected to the input control panel, and having controls connected to the converter and also connected to the heating element for operating the thermal convection oven. Other method steps include: selecting a food type to be prepared using the input control panel, inputting a standard cook time and temperature using the input control panel, converting the standard cook time and temperature to the convection oven cook time and temperature dependent upon the food type selected using the converter; and providing the convection cook time and temperature to the controls to control the heating element. A thermal convection oven is also provided. The thermal convection oven has: a housing with an interior to receiv…
