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

• 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.
