General Baking Tips

PREHEATING

NOTE: Preheating will vary between Ultra Rokite shelf and steel shelf ovens.

DA steel baking shelf set to 600_F (316_C) will preheat in 30-40 minutes. An additional 20 min- utes should be allowed for the oven to soak up heat.

DA Ultra Rokite shelf set to 600_F (316_C) will preheat in approximately 1 hour and 10 min- utes. An additional 20 minutes should be al- lowed for the oven to soak up heat.

For preheating the oven both the UPPER and LOWER HEATER switches (4 and 5) should be set on HIGH. When the oven has been preheated as recommended for steel or Ultra Rokite shelves the heater switches may be set to the desired level.

VENTING THE OVEN CAVITY

An oven cavity slide vent for venting moisture is furnished above the upper heaters and must be operated from inside the oven.

BAKING

The ideal temperature for baking pizza will vary de- pending on the type of pie, the method of baking the type of shelf. It is suggested that you attempt experimental initial bakes at 600_F (316_C). Note the time it takes to achieve a firm crust. If the cheese breaks down too quickly or scorches ei- ther lower your thermostat setting or top heat switch setting. This will affect the length of your baking time. If faster production is desired, at- tempt additional bakes raising baking tempera- tures in increments of 25 degrees or vary switch settings on the upper and lower heaters. This will help to determine the highest possible bake time for achieving the desired results with maximum production.

Baking time will vary depending on the number of toppings on the pie. Generally, pies in pans should bake in 5-8 minutes, pies on the shelf should bake in 4:30 --- 7:00 minutes.

Open doors as seldom as possible. Shifting of piz- zas is unnecessary in most cases.

The deck is intended for cooking pizza and bread products, other types of food may be cooked in pans or containers.
