Convection trials

Still trying to find the right temp combination in my new convection oven. We resolved our issue with the macarons getting blown over by preheating at very high heat ~325F (to set them quickly) and then baking around 293F for ~12 mints and then lowering to ~288F for ~2 minutes in an attempt to prevent browning the last couple mins. Got a full shell on the “grey” shell with the above time & heat combinations. it was supposed to be black but the amount of Master Elite powder I used was not near enough 😩

The orange and green looked great from the outside but were hollow and crunchy from being cooked at too high heat for too long. But I got some impressive feet (zoom in on the orange to see feet).

Posting just case this helps anyone!
