The Best Use Of Bake Ware; High Altitude Cooking - Dacor DO130 Use And Care Manual

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 containers,
placed flat on a cookie sheet. Follow the package recom-
mendations.
• 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.
• 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 particularly well and two of them
will fit side by side.

Cooking Tips

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.
