Yes. A convection oven works by circulating the air in the oven, causing the food to cook faster. You should lower the temperature twenty five degrees, and expect the food to be done in about two thirds the time. It will also cook more evenly, due to the air being fanned around.

You dont need to change the tempature but you do need to adjust the cooking time.You should assume that what you are cooking will be done thirty to forty percent faster than in a regular oven.

Yes, most manufacturers suggest lower cooking temperatures when using the convection setting. Refer to your owners manual. Using the convection setting is energy efficient and also cooks food more evenly.

You might need to change it because with a convection oven the heat gets to the thing you are cooking more easily and it will cook faster than with a conventional oven.

Yes convection ovens are smaller so they cook much hotter and faster then a regular oven. Those ovens are better for quick small things like bagels or pizza.

Yes, change the temperature for most things. Because the oven is equipped with a fan to distribute heat, you can drop it 35 to 50 degrees. It is most important for baked goods or items that are leavened. Refer to the book that came with the oven or treat yourself to a new book.You'll save heat and gain great food.

If you do then your recipe will tell you, otherwise no. But I would watch when you bake in a convection oven, some cake rise faster.

Yes, you do need to change the temperature when using a convection oven. It allows you to change the temperature for a reason. Read whatever you are cooking to see what the suggested cooking temperature should be. Then you can set the temperature on the oven. If you do not know how to set the temperature, then read the manual.

Yes you do because the convection oven cooks faster by hot air than just a heating element in the bottom of the oven.
