I'm Way Out Of My Comfort Zone Right Now

[terry and jo]

As many of you know, Jo and I are waiting for our Mobile Suites fifth wheel. One of the options we elected to get was the GE Advantium Oven, which I think is a convection oven.

Jo doesn't feel comfortable getting on forums, and I can't cook (seriously, I can't even fry water), so I am asking a question that she posed to me yesterday. We have never had a convection oven, and she was wondering whether I had read anything on them on the forums. Obviously, since I can't cook, I normally stay away from cooking threads.

So, if I could intrude on the rest of you, could you give us some tips on using a convection oven in general and a GE Advantium in particular?

For instance, are there particular types of cookware to use?

I've read somewhere on one of the forums about setting the oven 25 degrees below normal or reducing the cook time by about 6 percent. Is either of those scenarios reasonable to follow?

Be creative here and tell us anything involving these types of ovens.

Thanks in advance for any tips and advice.
