ER30/ER48 Companion Oven Notes
11
The ER48 includes a companion oven- which is a fully featured, self- cleaning oven. Following are a notes about cooking with these
ovens:
• Since the oven’s capacity is much smaller, you may find that cook times are much lower. Items cook faster in this oven as far as
roasting and baking.
• Follow the same guidelines as the large oven on selecting baking modes for best results.
• The broiler pan sent with the oven will fit with the shortest end front to back. To center it correctly, push it all the way to the back.
• Position the broiler pan 4-6 inches from the surface of the food to the surface of the broiler.
• Broil times will increase slightly in the smaller oven. It is also best to preheat the broiler for about 5 minutes for best results.
• Thicker cuts of steak or poultry should be cooked on Standard Broil. This will prevent the food from searing rare.
• A commercial half sheet pan, measuring 9 x 12” will fit in the ER48 companion oven.
• A commercial sized sheet pan, measuring 18 x 25” will fit in the large cell of an ER36 & ER48. This type of pan will not fit in an
ER30. Dacor’s ACS30-30” cookie sheets should be used.
