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 fiat on a cookie sheet. Follow the package
recommendations.
°
When using glass bake ware, reduce the recipe tem-
perature by 25°I:, 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 a 30-inch oven.
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.
