Operating the Oven
Your range 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 convection 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, roasting, 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.
For Multiple Rack Baking
Typically, when baking on two racks, use rack positions #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
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.
CONVECTION ROAST
Your range’s convection roast mode uses a
combination of the convection fan and heat
sources above and below the food. Best for rib roasts, turkeys,
chickens, etc.
Roasting Tips
All baking modes can be used to successfully roast in your oven.
However, the convection roast mode is recommended to produce
meats that are deliciously seared on the outside and succulently
juicy on the inside in record time. Foods that are exceptional,
when prepared in the convection roast mode, include: beef, pork,
ham, lamb, turkey, chicken, and cornish hens.
Always roast meats fat side up in a shallow pan, using a roasting
rack. Always use a pan that fits the size of the food being
prepared. The broiler pan and grill, accompanying the oven, can
be used in most cases. No basting is required when the fat side
is up. Do not add water to the pan. It will cause a steamed effect.
Roasting is a dry heat process.
Poultry should be placed breast side up on a rack in a shallow
pan that fits the size of the food. Again, the broiler pan and grill
accompanying the oven can be used. Brush poultry with melted
butter, margarine, or oil before and during roasting.
When using the roast mode, do not use pans with tall sides. They
interfere with the circulation of heated air over the food.
If using a meat thermometer, insert the probe halfway into the
center of the thickest portion of the meat. For poultry, insert the
thermometer probe between the body and leg into the thickest
part of the inner thigh. To ensure an accurate reading, the tip of
the probe should not touch bone, fat, or gristle. Check the meat
temperature ²/³ of the way through the recommended roasting
time. After reading the meat thermometer once, insert it ½ inch
further into the meat, then take a second reading. If the second
temperature registers below the first, continue cooking the meat.
Remove meats from the oven when the thermometer registers 5
to 10°F below the desired temperature. The meat will continue to
carry-over.
Allow roasts to stand 15 to 20 minutes after roasting in order to
make carving easier.
Roasting times always vary according to the size, shape, and
quality of meats and poultry. Less tender cuts of meat are best
prepared in bake and may require moist cooking techniques.
Follow your favorite cookbook recipes.
Reduce spatter by lining the bottom of the roasting pan with lightly
crushed aluminum foil.
