When the hot air is blowing, food tends to cook more quickly than in a conventional oven. The hot air also allows chemical reactions that occur during the cooking process, making flakier pie crusts and moist meat with a crispy skin. Convection ovens tend to bake approximately 25 percent faster than conventional ovens. You can use them to make everything from a turkey to brownies.

Place the pan in the oven, and bake for 25 minutes. Check the brownies to be sure they are cooked through by sticking a toothpick into the center of the pan. The toothpick should come out clean with a few moist brownie crumbs on it when fully cooked.
