<p>I have had two convection ovens, both electric though. I used a non-convection oven for many years so I can compare convection versus non-convection on electric if that helps.</p>

<p> I like the convection because I can cook more cake layers at a time and there are three racks in mine so I can bake at least six 8 to 12 inch layers at a time.

<p> I like the convection because I can cook more cake layers at a time and there are three racks in mine so I can bake at least six 8 to 12 inch layers at a time. If I do bake that many at a time I up the temperature back up 25 degrees and it takes a bit longer but they all bake just fine. I say just fine as long as I watch them and if necessary rotate the pans. I did not need to rotate the pans with my first convection oven but with the current one I do. It seems like even though it is fan forced heat the fan cuts off and on with this one and that seems to make it bake a bit unevenly. But, I still have far fewer problems than when my oven was non-convection. My current model is a GE Profile.</p>

<p>For my next stove I want to get a 6 burner gas with electric convection. HTH</p>
