Electric Convection Roaster

I've been experimenting with using an electric roaster to bake a loaf of bread at a time during the summer.  The roaster I was using was a small, 6 quart roaster but it was big enough to do one loaf of bread.  During the last 15 minutes I removed the loaf from the pan and turned it on it's side to brown the top and bottom of the loaf since the heating element is around the edges of the roaster rather than on the bottom.
