I just discovered the Convection Bake and Convection Cook settings on our oven. (Duh ![Thinking face :thinking: 🤔](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f914.png)

I have only tested it a couple of times with baked potatoes and bacon. For the potatoes, I use a probe, so I can time how long it takes. I only have a few data points, but it looks like the convention bake setting is about 1/3 faster than the regular bake setting.
A read some online articles about this. They generally claim that it is about 25% faster. They also say it cooks most foods better except for delicate foods like desserts.
I have a couple of questions:

I have a couple of questions:
- Is it about 25% faster?
- Is it true that it is good for cooking potatoes and roasts, but not desserts?
- What is the Convection Cook setting and what does it do?
