What meat and veg have same cooking time. Convection oven.

[JeffersLos]

I was given a round table top convection oven that I might use for making lunches.

 

I don't want to be faffing about in the kitchen putting in things at different time intervals and all that. I want to put in some meat with one or two different vegetables and it all be done 30 minutes later.

 

What meat and vegetables take the same amount of time to cook in these?

 

Preferred meats are chicken breast, pork tenderloin or pork chops. Any vegetables are good as long as the cook in the same amount of times as the meat.

 

What dishes and recipes do you recommend for this?

Potatoes come to mind, but you might have to experiment with what size/shape to cut them into.  Or use baby or fingerling potatoes.  Also maybe drizzle a bit of olive oil or sesame oil onto them before cooking.   Maybe also experiement with broccoli, cauliflower, carrots or corn on the cob.

I think this is a difficult thing to pin down. It all depends on the size and thickness of the meat and veg. As ChrisP posted this is a trial and error situation.

However, I would think that any meat will take longer to cook than veg, unless it is cut into thin strips, or goujons. Veg wrapped in foil cook quicker because they are steamed.

I personally enjoy cooking, and experimentation is part of that for me. I wish you luck in your gastronomic endeavours.
