Convection Cooking Information. Part 3

Convection Broil is ideal for cooking foods such as thinner cuts of meat; fillets of fish; boneless, skinless chicken; vegetables and garlic bread.
During convection broiling, the broil elements will cycle on and off in intervals to maintain oven temperature, while the fan constantly circulates the hot air. The circulating air creates a seal on all sides
of the food so that turning of foods is often not necessary.
The temperature is preset at 450°F (232°C), but can be changed to a different temperature. Cooking times will vary depending on the rack position and temperature and may need to be adjusted.
If the oven door is opened during convection broiling, the broil elements and fan will turn off after 30 seconds. They will come back on once the door is closed.
Allow the oven to preheat for 5 minutes. Position food on the unheated grid on the broiler pan, then place it in the center of the oven rack with the longest side parallel to the door.

Laundry tip of the week.

Do a little bit a lot more often!
Here is a golden rule of organizing: the more you dislike doing something, the more often you should do it. Sounds crazy, but really its rational advice. Here’s why: if you dislike doing something, it gets worse when it gets bigger — doesn’t it? A small hamper filled with clothes is a lot less daunting than five overflowing hampers, right? So do a small load a day and keep reasonably caught up. It will take a lot less effort to get started and keep going.

Sleep Tips

Avoid exercise near bedtime. 
No exercise at least 3 hours before bed.

Convection Cooking Information. Part 2

Convection Roast can be used to roast meat and poultry, and bake foods, such as yeast breads, pies, loaf, bunt and tube cakes on a single rack. During convection roasting, the bake and broil elements will cycle on and off in intervals to maintain oven temperature, while the fan constantly circulates the hot air.
If the oven door is opened during convection roasting, the broil element and convection fan will turn off immediately and the bake element will turn off within 2 minutes. They will come back on once the door is closed.

Before convection roasting, position racks according to the user guide. It is not necessary to wait for the oven to preheat before putting food in, unless recommended in the recipe.
Use the roasting rack on top of the broiler pan and grid. This holds the food above the grid and allows air to circulate completely around all surfaces.

■ Reduce recipe temperature 25°F (14°C). The cook time may
need to be reduced also.

Laundry tip of the week.

Make it easy to sort socks!

If you have a big family consider keeping each family member’s clothes segregated. Put a hamper in each person’s room and do a couple of loads per family member per week (a load of lights and a load of darks, for example.) You’ll avoid the big sort at fold time — so much simpler than trying to figure out whose socks are whose after the fact!

Sleep Tips

Create a bedtime ritual.
Do the same things each night to tell your body it's time to wind down. This might include taking a warm bath or shower, reading a book, or listening to soothing music — preferably with the lights dimmed. Relaxing activities can promote better sleep by easing the transition between wakefulness and drowsiness.

Convection Cooking Information. Part 1

Convection Bake can be used to bake and cook foods on single or multiple racks. It is helpful to stagger items on the racks to allow a more even flow of heat. If the oven is full, extra cooking time may be needed.
When cooking an oven meal with several different types of foods, be sure to select recipes that require similar temperatures.
Cookware should sit in the oven with at least 1" of space between the cookware and the sides of the oven.
Allow the range to preheat before placing food in the oven.
During convection baking preheat, the broil elements and the bake element all heat the oven cavity. After preheat, the convection element will cycle on and off in intervals to maintain oven temperature, while the fan constantly circulates the hot air.
If the oven door is opened during convection baking or preheating, the convection element and fan will turn off
immediately. They will come back on once the door is closed.
■ Reduce recipe temperature by 25°F (14°C). The cook time may
need to be reduced also.

Got the Laundry blues?

Make your laundry room more fun!
Bring some color into your laundry room, a fresh coat of paint, new curtains or some framed artwork from your children. Get a new area rug, with a playful pattern, or a laundry room theme. Play some upbeat and energizing music while you sort or fold.

Sleep Tips

•Trips to bathroom. 
If you need to get up to use the bathroom avoid bright light. Keep a mini flashlight next to your bed and use it to navigate your way to the bathroom.This will keep you from waking up any more than necessary and allow you to get back to sleep quickly.

Sleep Tips

Nap to make up for lost sleep.
If you need to make up for a few lost hours, opt for a daytime nap rather than sleeping late. This strategy allows you to pay off your sleep debt without disturbing your natural sleep–wake rhythm, which often backfires in insomnia and throws you off for days.
