When cooking with your commercial convection oven, be sure to thaw your food completely before cooking it for the best results, and don’t use aluminum foil in the oven because it reduces oven efficiency by affecting heat distribution. Be sure to wipe down the stainless steel on your convection oven often because food and hard water deposits can cause rust and pitting. You can clean the stainless steel with a soft cloth and a non-chloride cleaner that is free from quaternary salts. Also, don’t forget that a clean oven cooks much better than a dirty one. Therefore, it is a very good idea to clean the inside of your oven after every use with warm soapy water.

When putting baked goods in teh oven, it is a good idea to lower the temperature a bit and leave the food in the oven a little bit longer, and this will produce much higher quality breads, cakes, and cookies.
