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.
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 flat on a cookie sheet. Follow the pack-
age recommendations. When using glass bake ware,
reduce the recipe temperature by 25˚F, except when
baking pies or yeast breads. Follow the standard
recipe baking time for pies and yeast breads.
place pans carefully on the oven racks. Turn pans on
•
the racks so that the long sides run left to right, paral-
lel to the door.
For roasting, a v shaped rack in a roasting pan works
•
best to allow air circulation around the food. Dacor’s
roasting pan works particularly well and 2 of them will
fit side by side in a 30 inch oven chamber.
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 following adjustments for successful recipes.
Take note of the changes that work best and mark your
recipes accordingly.

Food Placement
note: The rack positions mentioned are counting from
the bottom up.
Typically, when baking on 2 racks, use rack positions •
#2 and #4 or #1 and #4. When baking on 3 racks,
use rack positions #1, #3 and #5.
When you are cooking a food item that is very heavy,
•
use the Dacor Gliderack. 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 #1 for
•
best results.
If you put a baking stone on the Gliderack, instead
•
of one of the standard oven racks, you can pull the
stone out of the oven further, making pizza easier to
remove.
