I bought a new toaster ove a while back. It's a Breville and has a fan for
convection cooking. A few things I've baked in it using the temp/time directions
in the recipe seemed to come out slightly overdone. This is my first experience
with convection cooking. Amd I supposed to be adjusting times or temps when
using the fan? Thanks.

It's not a bad idea to go about 10-20 degrees under what is suggested,
and watch the time too.

Yes.

A fan in a convection oven does two things. It circulates the oven
temps more evenly so there are no hot-spots and it increases the temp
over what it would be if the fan were not turned on. The commercial
convection ovens we used in our little cooking school would increase
the real-life oven temperature by 50 deg F. So, an un-fanned temp of
300 deg F would increase to 350 deg F when the fan was switched on. I
cannot tell you what yer convection temp should be in yer particular
device, but it should be higher than when the fan is not on.

The old rule I've seen is the 25-25. Lower the temperature 25 degrees
and cut the time by 25%.

The advantages of convection cooking is more even coking and faster
times. I prefer to cut the time and not the temperature, but YMMV with
different items.

Did you read the handbook ? You can use a lower temp and fan or fan,
high temp and far shorter time. Usually the book will give you
suggested times/temps

Most modern convection ovens automatically reduce the temperature by 25
degrees F when using induction. Check your manual...

What on earth are you two nattering about now? This is the perfect
