Why Milk Street Rarely Uses Convection Oven Settings in Recipes

Question

Hi Chris,
With all the hype on air fryers why don't you talk about using the convection setting on your oven more since that is what an air fryers is. I would like to see more recipes using the covec settings.
i.e. 400 degrees for 20 min or 375 convect for 15 min.  Or something like that.
I feel people are not using the ovens to the fullest potential. It would be something to set you and your show apart from others.
Thank you
Dennis

Hi Dennis - I will definitely pass along your comments and suggestions to Chris and the rest of the kitchen/editorial team. We generally don't call for using convection settings because not all of our readers have convection settings on their ovens and, even if they do, each manufacturer and even every oven's settings are slightly different. But we love the idea of a tutorial on how to use your oven to its best potential! Thank you so much. Best, The Milk Street Team
