Convection ovens are ovens that are advertised to cook food more evenly than a standard thermal oven. Which statement best explains how a convection oven works?
a
Hot air is transferred through molecule to molecule contact.
b
Hot air is transferred through heat being radiated from a thermal burner.
c
Hot air is transferred through density differences with hot air rising and cool air sinking.
d
Hot air is transferred through density differences with cool air rising and hot air sinking.
c
Hot air is transferred through density differences with hot air rising and cool air sinking.
Convection ovens work on the principle of circulating hot air, which is achieved by using a fan and exhaust system. This circulation creates an even cooking environment around the food, allowing it to cook more evenly and often at a faster rate than in a conventional thermal oven, where hot air can remain static and create hot and cold spots.
