Using Your Oven’s Convection Broil Setting

Ever wonder when to use the “convection broil” setting on your oven? Convection-style broiling is ideal for quickly searing meats, caramelizing vegetables, or achieving a crispy, golden crust on dishes like casseroles or gratins. The broiler element provides intense, direct heat from above, while the convection fan circulates air to cook food more evenly and reduce hot spots. For the best results, use a broiler pan or a wire rack to allow airflow around the food, and keep a close eye on cooking time, as convection broiling works faster than traditional broiling.
