I have a convection oven. This baby can cook, too. However, this has become a problem. Whenever I am feeling lazy, I like to pop out a box of frozen Stouffer's or the like and cook it up with ease. But too many burnt mac and cheese and lasagna meals have told me that my convection oven cooks faster than the directions. So why aren't these products coming out with convection oven directions now, since they are becoming more and more popular?
Try putting an oven thermometer in there.
You usually want to set a convection oven at 25 degrees lower, and set the cooking time at 20% less than the recipe/instructions call for.
Here's a convection oven converter:

@boomerang,
I'd never thought of lowering the temp - I regularly reduce the time by 20 - 25%. I'll have to keep that reduced temp idea in mind.
I have a dual
Microwave + convection.
Microwave works wonderfully. Even if I just cooked something at 400 degrees. It cools its self off quickly and cooks evenly.
Try what Boom suggested... cooking a little slower?
Stumble It!
