What Is a Convection Oven?

A convection oven, also known as a benchtop oven, is a type of oven that utilises a fan and exhaust system to circulate hot air evenly around the food being cooked. Unlike conventional ovens, which rely on radiant heat, a convection oven ensures consistent and faster cooking by distributing heat more efficiently.

The fan in a convection oven helps to maintain a steady temperature throughout the cooking process, reducing hot spots and promoting even browning. This makes it ideal for baking, roasting, and broiling a variety of dishes, from cookies and cakes to succulent meats and vegetables.

The circulating hot air in a convection oven also allows for faster cooking times and lower temperatures compared to traditional ovens. This energy-saving feature can be a significant advantage for busy home cooks and professional chefs alike.

With its ability to produce superior results, save time, and offer versatility, a convection oven is a valuable addition to any kitchen. 

What is the Difference Between an Air Fryer vs Convection Oven?

Air fryers and convection ovens share the ability to cook food quickly and efficiently, but there are a few notable differences between them. Air fryers use rapid air circulation to create a crispy exterior, which is similar to deep frying. On the other hand, convection ovens evenly circulate hot air throughout the oven for even cooking and browning. 

Air fryers are typically smaller and are more suited for smaller quantities, while convection ovens come in various sizes and can handle larger meals. Convection ovens offer greater versatility, accommodating baking, roasting, and broiling, while air fryers excel at producing crispy results. 

Air fryers generally have faster cooking times due to their compact size, while benchtop ovens may take slightly longer due to their larger capacity. Ultimately, the choice depends on your specific cooking needs, space availability, and desired versatility.

How to Clean a Benchtop Oven

Cleaning a small benchtop oven is very simple, easy, and does not take up much time! To clean your convection oven, follow these steps.

  1. Make sure your oven is turned off to avoid any burns or accidents!

  2. Remove any parts that can be taken out of the oven, such as wire racks and trays.

  3. Use a damp cloth or sponge to wipe down all the oven’s surfaces. If there are stubborn stains or food residue, you can use a mild dish soap solution to help remove them. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scouring pads that could damage the oven's surfaces. 

  4. Wash any trays, wire racks or removable parts in the sink to remove any grime or buildup.

  5. Once you've finished cleaning, double-check that all surfaces are dry before turning the oven back on. Replace the removable parts back into the oven.

How to Use a Convection Oven for Baking

Convection benchtop ovens work exactly like traditional ovens – there is no fancy process or features you need to use that differ greatly from your everyday oven! Using a benchtop oven for baking will help your baked goods reach the perfect golden brown colour thanks to its superior heating and cooking capabilities.


Just remember not to overload your oven with too much food, otherwise your food will not cook correctly and you will run into problems later down the road. Happy baking!
