I have been using my convection oven for several years now,
and anything that you would otherwise use a regular electric
or gas oven for can simply be done faster in the convection.
The difference being that the heat, in layman's terms, blows
all around inside this oven, rather than simply rising from
the bottom or down from the top. The only cooking changes I
have made to using the convection are to note that 1) most
things take about 1/3 less time; 2) cooking temps usually
need to be lowered by about 15 degrees; 3) using any of the
black coated metal bakeware needs baking/roasting temps
lowered by 25 degrees; 4) the outer area of uncovered meats
(especially) dry out quicker. Other than paying attention to
those four things, just use your convection in the same
manner as your "regular" oven.

I just got a Toastmaster convection oven but I dont have
the manual for it. Does anyone have any recipes for a
convection oven or know of a website for such? I searched
google but mostly got sites that were selling the oven or
rating different brands. Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

I've got one of those! They're a piece of junk. May be
useful for deciding whether you have any use for a
convection oven before paying real money to get a good one.
(Toastmaster is about $50 cheaper than the next-cheapest
convection oven.) If the fan in yours doesn't make a
vibrating/howling sound yet, your unit hasn't been used
much. I've found that heating up the oven before going into
a fan mode sometimes avoids the problem.

By the way, the brushed-metal surface is uncleanable, unless
perhaps you get one of those metal brush attachments that
fits on the end of a drill, so you can refinish it. If you
like to keep your kitchen appliances looking good, don't
spill anything (like water) on the brushed metal surface of
this device.
