Converting Recipes for a Convection Oven Now, nearly every recipe in the world (other than ones in the booklet that comes with a convection oven) will specify temperatures and cooking times for conventional ovens. So cooking in a convection oven means you'll have to convert.
This is a fairly simple matter of either lowering the temperature or shortening the cooking time (or a bit of both). The simplest method is to set the oven 25 to 50 degrees lower than the recipe says. So if it says 400 F, you go with 375 or 350 F. But watch out! Some convection ovens actually make a heat adjustment for you.
