A new type of oven that cooks food quickly and more completely is the convection oven. The key difference in this type of oven and a regular oven is that it

• uses a fan to circulate hot air

• cooks with microwaves

• uses infrared radiation

• heats food from below

A convection oven cooks food faster than a conventional oven because it:

• circulates the hot air.

• cooks at higher temperatures.

• irradiates the food at the same time.

• sends heat from the inside of the food to the outside.
