I always use the convection settings on my oven. However, there has been a
range of experiences that are dependant on the particular range one owners.
I would recommend that you read the book that came with the oven. Often the
manufacturer includes a cookbook. If so, you should at least read the
recipes and see what they recommend for similar items that you make. Newer
oven usually have both a convection bake and convection roast mode. Some
have true convection with a dedicated element associated with the fan.
Other ovens have a fan only. Some have convection broil. Some require
closed door broiling. Reading the manuals is your best bet.
