Convection Ovens

I'll be shopping for a new stove/oven soon and wonder if anyone has any input info on a convection oven.

My husband seems to think it would be best for gluten free baking (like he would know) I do a terrific amount of baking so I wouldn't mind going the extra $ if convection would be better.

better for gluten free specifically? meh. better for baking in general? yeah, a bit. the fan distributes the heat more evenly, so you don't get hot/cold spots. it also means that you should set it to a lower temperature (15-25F lower) than recipes generally state.

My new stove can cook either convection or regular, but I always use the convection part. It works great for everything. I do agree that you need a slightly lower temperature, or less time with some things. It is a matter of trial and error. I bake my own bread using Bob's Red Mill mix and bake it in four small pans for 30 minutes. It turns out nice, and surely better than what you can get already made, especially that Energy stuff which tastes and feels like sawdust. Barbara

i always use convection when i am baking. I think that regular doesn't distribute the heat properly and there are weird spots that aren't as cooked as others. I would splurge and go for the convection, a little extra money, but i think that food tastes better when cooked with convection

      Thiamine interacts with all the other B vitamins.  Thiamine and B 6 make a very important enzyme together. With more thiamine and other vitamins available from the supplements your body is absorbing the ones you need more of.  The body can control which vitamins to absorb or not.  You're absorbing more and it's being transported through the blood.   It's common to have both a Thiamine and a Pyridoxine deficiency.  Keep taking the B Complex. This is why it's best to stop taking supplements for six to eight weeks before testing vitamin levels.

      Yes I took a supplement that had B6 in it, low dosage though. I've stopped taking that. B1 doesn't affect other B vitamin levels?

      Have you tried lip balm made from tallow?  It's been used for thousands of years and works better than those with waxes. I prefer Vintage Traditions brand tallow balm products.

      Are you taking a B 6 supplement or a supplement containing B 6 like a B Complex?  Do you have pins and needles in your toes?   Don't worry about the thiamine being high.  The blood is a transport system that carries thiamine to the cells so they can store it.  It's fine.

      Quick question, had some blood tests done again and once again my zinc was too low but now ofcourse my B1 was too high and so was my B6. The doc said to  immediately  stop all supplements that contain B6. Can using thiamine raise the levels of B6 too?
