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 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 #1 for best results. • If you put a baking stone on the GlideRack 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. 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 containers, placed flat on a cookie sheet. Follow the package 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, parallel 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 altitudes, 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.
