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.
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.
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.
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.

Osso Buco Osso Buco is traditionally cooked with veal shanks, and is braised over a cooktop for hours and hours to develop the flavor. Since this stew is completely covered and then placed in the oven, I prefer to use Standard Bake.

Cream Cheese Pound Cake This recipe, along with others that require foods to be cooked in a “cold start” oven or an oven that has not been preheated, works well using our Timed-Delay baking feature. * Before using this feature, make sure that the clock correctly reflects the A.M. or P.M. setting. This does not show on the clock display, but must be set correctly to ensure that the food is cooked when you want it.
