The formula to convert Conventional Oven Temperature (T_o) to Convection Oven Temperature (T_c) is:
\[ T_c = T_o - (T_o \times 0.25) \]
Where:
A convection oven is a type of oven that uses fans to circulate hot air around the food, cooking it more evenly and often more quickly than a conventional oven. The circulating air helps to maintain a consistent temperature throughout the oven, which can result in better browning and crisping of food. Convection ovens are commonly used in both home and commercial kitchens for baking, roasting, and other cooking methods.
Let's assume the following value:
Using the formula:
\[ T_c = 400 - (400 \times 0.25) = 400 - 100 = 300 \text{ °F} \]
The Convection Oven Temperature (T_c) is 300 °F.
