Convection oven | Convectional toaster ovens

A convection oven (simply a fan oven) is an oven that has fans to circulate air around food, using the convection mechanism to cook food faster than a conventional oven. Convection ovens are also used for non-food, industrial applications.

In common usage, the word convection means heat transfer via fluid motion due to temperature differences, and by that definition its use in the term "convection oven" is a misnomer, as convection ovens use fans instead of temperature differences to drive air flow. However, the technical definition of convection does not specify how the liquid motion is driven, so the term does properly apply to these devices.
