• Use the pan size and type recommended by the recipe

for best results.

• For roasting, Dacor’s optional “V” shaped rack and

broil/roast pan works best to allow air circulation

around the food. Dacor’s roasting pan works particu-

larly well and two of them will fit side by side in a

30-inch oven. The kit also comes with a grill that fits

inside the pan to cook flat cuts of meat.

High Altitude Cooking

Due to the lower atmospheric pressure at higher alti-

tudes, foods tend to take longer to cook. Therefore, recipe

adjustments should be made in some cases. In general,

no recipe adjustment is necessary for yeast-risen baked

goods, although allowing the dough or batter to rise twice

before the final pan rising develops a better flavor. Try

making the adjustments below for successful recipes. Take

note of the changes that work best and mark your reci-

pes accordingly. You may also consult a cookbook on high

altitude cooking for specific recommendations.

Cooking Tips

Food Placement

NOTE: The rack positions mentioned below are counting

from the bottom up.

• For best results when baking on two racks, use rack

positions #2 and #4 or #1 and #3 with the oven set

to Pure Convection or convection bake mode. For best

results when baking on three racks, use rack positions

#1, #3 and #5 with the oven set to Pure Convection

mode.

• Turn pans on the racks so that the long sides run left

to right, as you face them.

• When you are cooking a food item that is very heavy,

Dacor recommends the optional GlideRack oven

rack. You can pull it out further than a standard rack,

making it easier to check the food, stir or add ingredi-

ents.

• Heavier roasting pans and dishes will cook better on

rack position #1.

• When using a baking stone, use rack position #1 for

best results. If you put a baking stone on the optional

GlideRack oven rack, instead of one of the standard

oven racks, you can pull the stone out of the oven

further, making pizza easier to remove.

The Best Use of Bake Ware

• You should bake cakes, quick breads, muffins and

cookies in shiny, reflective pans for light, golden

crusts. Avoid old, darkened, warped, dented, stainless

steel and tin-coated pans. They heat unevenly and will

not give good baking results.

• Use medium gauge aluminum sheets with low sides

when preparing cookies, biscuits and cream puffs.

Dacor cookie sheets, with their low profiles, will give

you the best results.

• Bake most frozen foods in their original foil contain-

ers, placed flat on a cookie sheet. Follow the pack-

age recommendations. When using glass bake ware,

reduce the recipe temperature by 25°F, except when

baking pies or yeast breads. Follow the standard

recipe baking time for pies and yeast breads.
