It is my understanding the coconut flour is actually low carb and is ideal for weight loss and people on low carb diets.</p> <p>There is a lot of information about coconut flour here:<br /> <a href="http://www.mercola.com/products/coconut_flour.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.mercola.com/products/coconut_flour.htm</a><br /> <a href="http://www.low-carb.com/alnuorcofl22.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.low-carb.com/alnuorcofl22.html</a><br /> <a href="http://www.ehow.com/how_4460619_choose-low-carb-flour.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.ehow.com/how_4460619_choose-low-carb-flour.html</a></p> <p>I'm sure that if you do a search like I did "is coconut flour high in carbs" it will bring up all kinds of information for you. I made Elana's Cranberry Walnut Bread for Christmas gifts and our Christmas breakfast. Everyone absolutely loved it!</p> <p>I do have a convection oven, but I haven't used it for baking yet, since I also have a regular oven and a large family. Someone gave the convection oven to me, basically brand new. I have tried using it to toast my bread, but that's it! I'm afraid to use it, thinking that I'll burn whatever I try baking in it.</p> <p>Lori </p> http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/topic/does-anyone-else-use-a-convection-oven#post-712 Sat, 12 Dec 2009 12:20:37 +0000 Rachel B 712@http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/ <p>I, too, always change recipes as I go but only after I do it by the exact recipe the first time. I gave the coconut flour to my dil because of the high carb content. Now I just bake with almond flour. </p> http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/topic/does-anyone-else-use-a-convection-oven#post-710 Sat, 12 Dec 2009 12:05:48 +0000 Gini 710@http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/ <p>I haven't tried any of the recipes with convection yet. I am trying to go thru and try most things the way they are suggested(which is hard for me as I am always changing recipes as I go). I will let you know and I hope you will too, when you get brave enough to try convection. I have it both on my reg. oven &#38; my toaster oven. Love it! </p> http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/topic/does-anyone-else-use-a-convection-oven#post-708 Fri, 11 Dec 2009 20:37:42 +0000 Rachel B 708@http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/ <p>I never got any responses from this question, so I'm bringing it back to the top with this post and hope it works. </p> http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/topic/does-anyone-else-use-a-convection-oven#post-284 Sat, 30 May 2009 12:58:55 +0000 Rachel B 284@http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/ <p>I live full-time in a motor home and have a microwave/convection combo oven. I never use the microwave, but I do use the convection for everything. It's taken me a lot of experimenting to find the best way to bake, roast, reheat and defrost in the convection.</p> <p>I'd like to know if anybody uses a convection oven for Elana's baked goods? </p> <p>I've found that any of them that call for 350 degrees and a short baking time doesn't work for me. I generally use 300 degrees for a longer period of time and things come out fine. I've made Elana's Simple Bread, Nut Bread, Chocolate Chip Cookies, Sesame Cookies, Orange Cake, Almond Butter Brownies, and they were all delicious. The only failure I've had were the Prune Truffles.</p> <p>I've had a package of Coconut Flour in my pantry for months, but haven't tried anything in the convection oven with it yet. I hesitate because I can't eat things with too many carbs which is why I love the almond flour recipes. However, I am having company this coming week and might try one of the coconut flour cake or muffin recipes. I'll post how well it comes out using Elana's instructions if I do. </p>
