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 flat on a cookie sheet. Follow the package
recommendations.
•
when using glass bake ware, reduce the recipe tem-
perature by 25°f, 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.

Cooking Tips
Food Placement
•
typically, when baking on two racks with your oven,
use rack positions #3 and #5 (counting from the
bottom up). when baking on three racks, use rack
positions #2, #4 and #6.
•
turn pans on the racks so that the long sides run left
to right, as you face them.
•
when you are cooking a food item that is very heavy,
use the Dacor gliderack oven rack. 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 #3 for
best results. if you put a baking stone on the glider-
ack oven rack, instead of one of the standard oven
racks, you can pull the stone out of the oven further,
making pizza easier to remove.
