How can I tell whether I have a convention or convection oven?
Q. Every time I go to bake something, there are two ways to cook it. One explains how to cook with a convection oven, the other explains how to with a convention. I never know which one I have. How would someone figure that out?

A. Convection ovens circulate the hot air throughout the oven. You would hear low fan noise if you put your ear near it -- and it would most likely say it somewhere. Conventional just means a regular oven, where the heat comes from a coil on the bottom.
