Ever wonder when is the best time to use the “convection roast” setting on your oven? Convection roast is great for meats and fish. If used properly, you can get a nice sear on the outside of your meats, locking the flavorful juices in. In order to do this, increase the temperature of your oven by 100 degrees for the first 20 minutes of the roasting process. This works best when the circulating air inside the oven can hit more of the surface of your meat, so it is best to use a low-sided pan or to elevate the meat on a rack.
