13Operating Your RangeWhen using a meat thermometer, insert the•probe halfway into the center of the thickestportion of the meat. For poultry, insert the ther-mometer probe between the body and leg intothe thickest part of the inner thigh. To ensurean accurate reading, the tip of the probe shouldnot touch bone, fat or gristle. Check the meattemperature 2/3 of the way through the recom-mended roasting time. After reading the meatthermometer once, insert it 1/2 inch further intothe meat, then take a second reading. If thesecond temperature registers below the first,continue cooking the meat.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 inbake mode and may require moist cooking tech-niques. Follow your favorite cookbook recipes.High Altitude CookingDue to the lower atmospheric pressure at higheraltitudes, foods tend to take longer to cook. There-fore, recipe adjustments should be made in somecases. In general, no recipe adjustment is neces-sary for yeast-risen baked goods, although allowingthe dough or batter to rise twice before the finalpan rising develops a better flavor. Try making theadjustments below for successful recipes. Take noteof the changes that work best and mark your reci-pes accordingly. You may also consult a cookbook onhigh altitude cooking for specific recommendations.Altitude(feet)BakingPowderfor eachteaspoondecreaseby:Sugarfor eachteaspoondecreaseby:Liquid, foreach cupadd:3000 5-10% 10-25% 5-10%5000 10% 10% 20%7000 25% 20% 20-25%Broiling TipsBroiling is a quick and flavorful way to prepare manyfoods, including steaks, chicken, chops, hamburgersand fish.It is normal and necessary for some smoke to bepresent to give the food a broiled flavor.Dacor recommends that you set a timer to time•the broiling process.Start with a room temperature broiler pan for•even cooking.Use tongs or a spatula to turn and remove•meats. Never pierce meat with a fork becausethe natural juices will escape.Broil food on the first side for a little more than•half of the recommended time, then season andturn. Season the second side just before remov-ing the food from the oven.To prevent sticking, lightly grease the broiler•grill. Excess grease will result in heavy smoke.For easier cleaning, remove the broiler pan andgrill when the food is removed.Roasting TipsDacor’s optional roasting pan works particularly•well and two of them will fit side by side in your30-inch oven.For roasting, Dacor’s optional “V” shaped rack•and broil/roast pan works best to allow air circu-lation around the food.If using a cooking bag, foil tent or other cover,•use convection bake mode. Adjust the recipetime and temperature as well.
