Pure Convection; Convection Bake - Dacor Renaissance EOR Series Use And Care Manual

Your oven offers three convection cooking
modes:
• Pure Convection
• Convection Bake
• Convection Roast
As a general rule, in the convection modes time is about
25% shorter. Set the timer 15 minutes before the shortest
stated time and add more time if necessary.
For Pure Convection and Convection Bake
modes:
Some recipes, especially those that are homemade, may
require adjustment and testing when converting from
standard to convection baking. If you are unsure how to
convert a recipe, begin by preparing the recipe using the
standard Bake settings.
After achieving acceptable results, follow the convection
guidelines in the Dacor cooking guide. If the food is not
cooked to your satisfaction during this first convection
trial, adjust one recipe variable at a time (such as cooking
time, rack position, or temperature) and repeat the con-
vection test. If necessary, continue adjusting one recipe
variable at a time until you get satisfactory results.
Pure Convection
The uniform air circulation provided by Pure Convection
allows you to use more oven capacity at once. Use this
mode for single rack baking, multiple rack baking, roast-
ing, and preparation of complete meals. Many foods,
such as pizzas, cakes, cookies, biscuits, muffins, rolls and
frozen convenience foods can be successfully prepared on
two or three racks at a time. Pure Convection is also good
for whole roasted duck, lamb shoulder and short leg of
lamb.
AIR FLOW
For Multiple Rack Baking
• Typically, when baking on two racks, use rack posi-
tions #1 and #3 or #2 and #4 (counting from the
bottom up).
° When adapting a single rack recipe to multiple rack
baking, it may be necessary to add to the baking time
due to the extra bulk of the food in the oven.
Convection Bake sssj
Use this mode for single rack baking. The combination of
the convection fan and bottom heat source is best for fruit
crisps, custard pies, double-crusted fruit pies, quiches,
yeast breads in a loaf pan and popovers. Also, items
baked in a deep ceramic dish or earthenware clay pots are
best in this mode. Most of these items cook in a deep pan
and require browning on the top and bottom.
