Conventional oven to convection oven temperature conversion

Some ovens adjust the temperature for you when using convection. If this is the case, though you would set the oven to 400 degrees, for example, it would automatically drop to 375 degrees.

how a convection oven works. Conventional ovens typically are 25 to 30 degrees cooler than a convection oven set to the same temperature. Since most recipes are intended for conventional ovens, you'll need to adjust the temperature to around 25 degrees F (about 15 degrees C) lower to accommodate the difference.

When following recipes for conventional ovens, the formula is this: Reduce the temperature by 25 degrees and reduce the cook time by about 20 percent. To calculate the latter, multiply the cook time in minutes by 0.8.
