Cooking Tips - Dacor Discovery DYRP48DS Use And Care Manual

Food Placement
• Typically, when baking on two racks with the oven,
use rack positions #3 and #5 (counting from the
bottom up). When baking on three racks, use rack
positions #2, #4 and #6.
• 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,
use a Dacor GlideRack oven rack. You can pull it out
further than a conventional rack, making it easier to
check the food, stir or add ingredients.
• Heavier roasting pans and dishes will cook better on
rack position #1.
• When using a baking stone, use rack position #3 for
best results. If you put a baking stone on a 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.

Cooking Tips

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 (optional), 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 package
recommendations.
• When using glass bake ware, reduce the recipe tem-
perature by 25°F (14°C), 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 in the oven.
