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

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 adjustments below for successful recipes. Take

note of the changes that work best and mark your reci-

pes accordingly. you may also consult a cookbook on high

altitude cooking for specific recommendations.
