What is a Convection ovens?

[Anonymous]

I've seen ovens with gas range tops and convection ovens? Are these any good? What is the difference besides they cook faster? Are they more drying? Can you broil in them?

Thanks!

Love our convection. It circulates air for more even cooking. Great for baking.

Before the grammar police come for me, "ovens" should not be plural.

Yes, you can broil in them. Ours lets you turn the convection feature on or just use the regular oven settings.

Convection oven cooks faster, but it takes longer to preheat. Not sure if it's necessarily time saving.

Our oven has convection capability, but you need to convert the time for things like a roast, so I don't use it b/c I don't want to get it wrong.

What make? Are most of them just ovens with a convection "feature?"
