This guide will help you understand the differences between a Samsung convection oven and a conventional oven. A Samsung convection oven uses a fan to circulate hot air all around, whereas a conventional oven uses heating elements at the top and bottom of the stove. When you’re finished reading this, you’ll know what type of oven to get next.
What is a Samsung convection oven?
A Samsung convection oven uses a fan to circulate hot air all around. This helps make for great heat distribution all around your food. This helps cook food faster and more even than traditional ovens. Circulating heat is great for roasting, browning, and crisping.
What is a Samsung conventional oven?
A Samsung conventional oven, also known as a traditional oven, uses radiant heating elements located at the top and bottom. Bakers prefer conventional ovens for their cakes and pastries as they provide constant, stable heat.
Samsung Convection vs. Samsung Conventional oven: Understanding the differences
The main difference between these two styles is how the air is circulated. Samsung convection ovens cook faster because they circulate the heat better with a fan. Samsung conventional ovens provide a consistent temperature, which is required for delicate baking and slow-cooked dishes.
For fast and crispy think convention. For slow and steady conventional. Some of our ovens are both.

Samsung True convection vs. Fan convection: What’s the difference?
Samsung true convection is a step above simple fan convection ovens.
A true convection oven, also known as a European convection oven, includes a heating element. This additional element works with the fan to cook your dishes evenly and faster.
With fan convection, the fan blows the hot air around, and there is no additional heating element.
How to use a Samsung convection oven
A Samsung convection oven is easy to use. Follow these steps for enhanced cooking and baking results.
- Preheat your oven: Turn your oven on to the suggested baking temperature.
- Adjust the temperature: It’s recommended to turn your Samsung convection oven down by 25°F (14°C) – Because convection ovens are more efficient.
- Use a shallow pan: A shallow pan helps ensure the heat gets right at the food.
- Don’t cover the food tightly: The warm air needs to get at the food. Don’t block it.
- Place dish on the correct rack: For best results, position your dish in the center.
- Check the food early: Some meats can be smaller and cook faster than you might think. You can always put something back in for a few minutes. But not the other way.
Choosing the right Samsung oven type for you
It comes down to your cooking and baking habits. A convection oven is great as it will save you a few minutes roasting meat, and baking bread. But there’s nothing wrong with a modern conventional oven. Look at our range of ovens below to find the one that fits your kitchen and lifestyle.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
1. How does a Samsung convection oven work?A convection oven uses a fan to circulate hot air around the food.
-
2. Do Samsung convection ovens cook faster?Yes, often foods cook faster because the convection fan efficiently circulates the warm air.
-
3. How does a Samsung conventional oven work?This is the traditional oven you’ve grown up with, It uses heating elements at the top and bottom to cook food. It’s a steady and more consistent way to cook.
-
4. Can you bake a cake in a conventional oven?Absolutely. Conventional ovens provide consistent heat, which is essential for delicate baking. Steady heat helps cakes rise.
