    When using BAKE, use rack positions 1 or 2 to get the food as close to the heat source as possible. This will help the food bake closer to the stated times. Dacor’s ACS18 cookie sheets or a commercial half-sheet pan measuring 12"...

    • Shiny, reflective pans are best for cakes, quick breads, muffins, cookies and pies. This will prevent the crust from browning too fast, as a darker finish may cause it to do. Dacor’s ACS183 cookie sheets work well for any baking in these ovens.
  • Page 8: Multirack Baking Tips

    Multirack Baking Tips 1. Use Dacor’s ACS18 cookie sheets or a cookie sheet that measures 12" x 18" on Convection Bake for best results. Center the pans on each rack. 2. Allow oven to preheat an additional 20-30 minutes when multirack-baking delicate items, such as cookies and cakes.
  • Page 9: Convection Roasting Tips

    2. Always roast meats fat-side up on a roasting rack, in a shallow pan. Use a pan that fits the size of the food being prepared, or the broiler pan accompanying your Dacor oven. No basting is required when the fat-side is up. Do not add water to the pan because water causes a steam effect.
  • Page 10: Gas Infrared Broiling Tips

    6. For best results, thicker cuts of meat should be placed about 4" – 6" away from the broiler element. 7. A 2-part broiler pan (a slotted sheet and drip pan, provided with the Dacor unit) should always be used. The drip pan catches the fat runoff, reducing smoking and spattering.
